The best part of this deal is that irritating gonad's complete U turn on his his appraisal of Cross from the rumour thread a while back and the Offical thread today.
22nd June.
Quote ="Odemwingie"So overated... no idea how he played Origin from what I have seen of him in this country. His face was a picture all through our comeback at Leeds as well.
I wonder what Leeds have planned letting these players go... they seem to be going right down hill.
Fielden is our best prop on form and he is miles better than Cross. Coley proved on friday just how good he really is for us. Lima works so hard and is starting to look a class singing. Mossop has been our most improved player and he came through our academy... wouldn't leave him out for any overseas prop right now... Prescott is also improved and home grown.
We just don't need him. If they get injured we have Hock and O'Carroll to fill in.'"
Today.
Quote ="Odemwingie"That just baffles me. Anybody who has played at the highest level like he has can do a job in any super league side even if it is just off the bench or rotation.
I must say I am very excited about this signing now, when Leeds first signed him I thought he would be better than Lima and was pretty jealous. Clearly the coaching at Leeds and the attitude of their staff has not helped him. We have a class player on our hands, I hope our coaching staff can get him firing on all cylinders!
