By my reckoning i thought that fox had left the middle to bottom super league side that is wakefield and joined a more ambitious club in hull kr,and for far more money as well!
Who wouldnt do the same given the chance?

Why are they far more ambitious?

The lad's a professional, and a bloody good one at that. While he was in our employment he gave us his all and earned his money. When his contract was up KR thought he was worth more than we did - simple really, what would you in his position? We were letting players of the calibre of Semi, BJ etc. go without too much of a fight - we looked like a club without ambition. As it happens, JK is a genius and knew what he was doing, but I and many others did wonder at the time...

Good luck to him, I think he's a great prospect. No bitterness here.

Future England winger alongside young Ainscough maybe.

You have to admire Justin Morgan, he certainly knows how to 'big up' KR As quoted on http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/rugby_l ... 039156.stm "I think he is a very ambitious person and ambitious player and I think that matches the club's ambition," Morgan said. "He's very keen to get some individual honours but he's also keen to get some team honours and he feels our club can provide that."

The thing we lack this season is real pace out wide Fox had this as did White Blanch is quick but noiwhere near as quick as these two we will miss him now this season we have nobody who can go 100 yards for a try
Wigan could expose our lack of pace in the centres and wings today on a dry Belle Vue track

They will no doubt try to and if it stays dry we may have problems, we've had loads of speed men at BV and we never gave them the ball or the chance to motor.

Sampson and frew for eg!! we left them stood out on wing to do nothing, not saying there were world class wingers but god could them lads shift........ nearly as fast as Sovatabua n Bright Sodje

Or KR could afford to offer him more. I wouldn't have thought anyone at Wakey under estimated how good Fox was however with another Club bidding for his services you can only go so high as you have to consider other players and strengthening in other areas.
