davet Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Unfortunately he was never injury free. At the start of last season when the squad was down in numbers he played and you could see that he was not 100% ready to. With the emergence of the Senior twins and McIntosh moving from FB he was always going to fall down the pecking order. At least it is a release on the salary outgoings for the club.

DoubleD Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Think you're being too kind.................I along with several others who watch NRL advised that it was not a wise signing at the time and sadly we were proved correct. He was a shadow of his former self in his last year or so in NRL. An expensive mistake by Huddersfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't for the progress of the Senior twins we could easily have been relegated. 4 tries from Louis Senior in the last game v Cats a good example.

DavidM Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Top player for years with a brilliant try scoring record at the Knights . He did well for the Sea Eagles and only latterly started to fade out of it . I think he was worth signing for Huddersfield , but unfortunately it didn’t work out with injury dogging him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blind side johnny Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Another bad signing from the NRL of a player well past his best. Why do SL clubs continually fool themselves like this? Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
