Wikipedia says he was playing at Carnegie last He had a cracking season just before he left and as you say didn't look the same at all when he came back. I do have the feeling though that he was one of those that benefited from playing in a very good team, which wasn't the case when he came back. Same with Chev Walker.

He had a decent season at Leigh in our promotion winning team in 2016 but wasn’t ever likely to be in our Super League plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at wiki, he didn’t play many games after leaving Bradford in 2013 when he would’ve been 29....... only a handful in fact. Was he plagued by injuries?

Andy Hodgson. Joe Tamani. Aaron Smith to start with. Elsewhere Danny Arnold We signed both Danny Arnold and Chris Morley and I couldnt believe they had won titles at Saints.

I think I remember Ellison signing for Fax. I remember him not playing very well in a game for us but thats about it. This reminds me of the sad story of Mick Shaw, on the transfer list at 250k to been released playing a few games for Fax before going back to the amateur game and then sadly taking his own life.

Mannering in particular had a well documented and high profile retirement season with guards of honor and the lot. Just type Simon Mannering retirement into Google.

Danny Arnold played the last few games in the 2004 season for Chorley Lynx including the last ever game v York. From memory he played well in those games having done so to help the coach Mark Lee.
