Has signed for Widnes a according to Twitter.

Found his level there and the Hull fans don't seem to bothered he's left.

The travelling did his head in.

He'll go well at Widnes

If that what he wants good luck to the lad.

Will he play on Monday?

I thought he signed a 3 year deal at FC?

It would do my head in as well.

But if I looked at Hull and saw them sign Ellis, Arundale & Watts I'd think they are turning the corner and are a club on the up.

Obvious Hull Fc do not think he's good enough.

Imo they are right

Bit harsh.

Other than his injury problems which have clearly limited his appeal i think his actual performances have always been pretty good.

Hope he can stay fit at Widnes.

Its not harsh its just the truth.

According to reports he's been released from what was a 3 year contract when he's only played there for half a season. That speaks volumes about how good he is and when you look at what FC are trying to do it says he's not good enough for a potential top team.

Ridiculous statements considering we don't know the circumstances that have led to his release. He may have asked to be released, someone has just mentioned he was fed up of travelling. By your reasoning neither Trent Barrett or Jeff Lima were good enough for Wigan then. AFAIK he's played every game he's been fit for FC this season.

Lima and Trent moved to the other side of the world.

O'Carroll plays for Hull and is from Wigan. Hardly the opposite side of the world and to leave a side that really seems to be coming to for a move to Widnes either says he's not wanted by Hull our has no ambition.

He's not good enough for a top team.

He was not good enough here before he went to Hull and i agree with Sergeant Pepper will not make it in a top team. If he had not come through the ranks here people might see him without the rose tinted glasses.

didnt leneghan say he was one of the only players he regretted losing, so he saw something in him didnt he? and he hasnt got much wrong to date.

Apart from the lack of announcements.

Well if that's the case why isn't he coming back to Wigan instead of going to Widnes. Always gave 100% but his body just isn't up to it too small for a prop. Good luck for the future Eamon.

We don't need him. We've got 5+ props who are better than him.

I don't think he's bad. This is a bigger picture thing here. Widnes are probably gonna pay him a similar wage (remember this IS a job) but he's gonna be traveling to Widnes now not Hull it will be to save money. Hull probably weren't gonna win anything in his 3 year contract anyway so he may as well play at a club he doesn't have to travel almost the entire width of the country to get to.

I thought from what I'd read on Twitter over the close season he'd moved over to Hull, so I'm surprised it's the travel that's being cited as a reason. Always thought he gave 100% whilst with us - Widnes at least seem to be putting together a better squad for next season.

Widnes won't be as a bad next year and it is a big step from the Championship to Superleague.With Ste O Connor at our club I feel we will improve year on year.He has already stated that 4 or 5 clubs struggling with finances.One we know is Bradford and if more clubs go bust then more cherry picking.

Do you realise just how bad your "post" looks... ?

Fingers crossed then, eh?

Oh dear.

Do not really care to be honest.Just that the posts are acting like we will be bottom of the league again.Which I disagree with and teams have overspent.This is why clubs are in meltdown, and Widnes lost out due to some teams overspending.Only big clubs like Wigan,Leeds,Hull,Saints,and Wire can afford big salary caps.Unless small clubs have a sugar daddy.Just saying how it is and Carroll was obviously good enough the other year?Now goes Widnes he is a awful player?

Be nice for some clubs to think we will improve than just to be e every year.

he ain't awful, it's just that he doesn't seem big enough to be a front line prop and has been injury prone in the past. He would have been struggling to get any game time at Wigan this year with Lima, Moose, Prekki, Eric, Dudson, Flower and Spencer ahead of him

You will find very few describing him as "Awful" or worse. What people have said in the main is that he is small for a prop, has had many injuries, and would get few opportunities at Wigan. Sorry if this just not fit with your "anti-Wigan" bile.
