huby comments in todays examiner

'going from cas and the style there to hudds, where it was totally different, i felt i didnt have the freedom to do what i did before

hopefully i can get back to playing how i know i can.'


under andersons style of play i agree, he wasnt the same player huby, seemed to change his style, we expected to see more offloads and ball playing skills but never really happened for him

crabtree had the offloads coached out of him too

(...waits for someone to say huby still offloaded and points to his stats...)

still im glad hes gone, didnt want to be here and we dont want players like that at the club..wardle another.

Don't get this constant bad mouthing of wardle from you. Wardle did what he could with what he was given- which wasn't much- not to mention the constant switching of his playing position and his injuries. Don't see how anyone can suggest he showed indication of not wanting to be there. It's in your head- and you somehow feel peeved because he took the opportunity of a lifetime!

I agree with you Jools - not one person who is connected to the club that i've spoke to have ever suggested Joe was unhappy or wanted to leave, he left with the clubs blessing and was even allowed to discuss a move 12 months before his deal ran out to secure his future, surely Joe would have tried to instigate a move sooner if he was unhappy ?
And the people i usually speak to are usually pretty damning and honest at times.

Brearley has obviously got some kind of personal issue with Joe Wardle.

I'll second Jools on this one re Wardle

As for Huby - his lack of presence last season has a lot to do with our poor form, and even when he did play he was abysmal (I'd say he personally cost us the Leigh game with 5 hit ups and 5 errors in the opening ten mins)

Looking to offload in our own 20 when dominated after Stone moved in meant it was always going to be the parting of the ways.

no issues with wardle at all, just the fact that he went missing for two season and looked disinterested to me

came as no surprise he was leaving as to me he didnt want to be a giant

as a fan i want to see players here who want to play for the shirt

No issues just the fact he went missing for 2 seasons (all in the same sentence). Make your mind up.

It's his opinion he's entitled to it- but I just don't get how he's reached it.

If they have got a big money contract coming up they back off full contact,summat I have learned,understandably in many ways,not good for us as fans but that is the way it is.

Not picking on Fa'alogo,but his 'effort' in the semi final at Salford was the first time I knew.

im relpying to the comments that some seem to think its a personal issue with wardle and myself, not at all.

and yes he did go missing and for me it was down to him not wanting to be a giant as the main factor, proved right as he has gone.

Centre moves out it's a big big hole to fill,in terms of defence it's probably the most important consideration on d behind the pack.

It's not necessarily about him not wanting to be a giant - it's perhaps about a once in a lifetime opportunity for him and his family.
I'd probably be happy working at QEGS, but if Providence school in Barbados offered me a job I'd be off!

What about Sam Wood,do you reckon he is ready to make left centre his own now?

I do, he looked good last season against high quality opposition imo

Hu

hey cant knock the lad for wanting to go to the nrl! good luck to him

just a shame his performances dipped so much once he had made his mind up he was off.

I don't be agree they did- the whole team was performing badly and that impacts on them all.

His game took a notable upturn when he went back to centre imo

I agree code- he was also (like a few others) playing with an injury for much of the season - he missed out on playing for Scotland in order to have surgery to put that right.

It also coincided with Ferres leaving who put Wardle through a lot of gaps. I wish him all the best, and hope that if he comes back it is to us.

would have wardle over gaskell at left centre any day personally

Shame that wasnt ever the option thenot

I'll give Gaskell a chance personally

yup and not to mention brough also inside him...

on 2014 form yes wardle for centre but 2015 and 2016 no.

I know what your saying about his form and i agree up to a point, but you could say the same about most of the team to be fair.

as will i mate n as i will with all the lads new season and all that
