I think he needs to be careful here.....he has to actually get to it first.

[Southerner]

He’s been very good this season. 

It’s good to see him back playing consistently well and he seems happier off the pitch too. 

[Poower Lad]

I’m very happy for him that he has got his life and career back on track . He deserves a lot of credit for picking himself up from his Rock bottom and moving forward . 

[DavidM]

Put him in full lockdown until Friday afternoon

Hopefully he can get to the end of his career without messing up again , and hopefully with more than a pair of boots and a few medals

WIgan have done a good repair job on his playing career, the problem is when his playing days end, is there something there for him. Doesn't strike me as coaching material and I doubt he has been smart enough to learn an outside of the game skill set.

My point exactly padge , he is a ###### , but he has just about enough time left to set himself up , hopefully he listenes to the right people

He could use his experience of poor life decisions to go into some form of social service work. A lot of the best social workers are ones with real life bad experiences of how you can screw up if you go down the wrong track, and then how there is a way out.

One of the most talented players I've seen come through the system at Fev. Saw him score 10 tries in 2 games in the reserves, then a hattrick on his first team debut. 

I hope he can put his critics wrong and be a winner this weekend.

Nobody is saying he isn't a bloody good RL player , he is , but he's a ###### as well , hopefully he's started to grow up , for his sake , for his future

I don't disagree with that. 

I would hate to see him as one of those players that we talk about in the future who had all the talent in the world and fall short.

Glad to see any person try to overcome their demons & start to turn things around - i really hope he can learn from his previous mistakes and redeem himself off the field. Do any Cas fans regret the club dropping & dismissing him?

I agree with your sentiments, and hope he is in a better place mentally and emotionally. 

In answer to your question, no I don't.
