Players That Should Never Have Left A Certain Club

[Mumby Magic]

To begin with for Bradford, in recent times, Sam Hallas and particularly Brandon Pickersgill.

In SL one of the first names for me is Regan Grace.

I don’t understand why you have Grace in the list. The lad has been injured ever since he’s left Saints. The same would’ve applied if he’d stayed

Dom Young - Huddersfield, though i wish the kid all the success.

[Sports Prophet]

Anyone signing for Wests Tigers in the last 8 years.

While he's still had a great career, Sam Tomkins to the Auckland Warriors wasn't a great move for him. I think he was poorly coached and his injuries were poorly managed in a club that was fairly unprofessional at the time - and while he has had patches of great form since, he has never been the same player or had quite the career he could have had if he'd either stayed at Wigan, or gone to a stronger NRL club.

I hope we're not adding Dom Young to this list in the future, after his move to the Roosters - the Roosters are a good professional club, but they have a logjam of talent and play a different style of game. Young was absolutely killing it at Newcastle and could have done without the change I think.

Surely his career was better for leaving?

2 more: Richie Mather's from Leeds,  Kyle Eastmond from Saints

But Catalans has been a great move for TomPkins professionally (and it sounds personally), i'm not sure Wigan could/would have carried him with his injuries and salary as well as Catalans have and he's been a joy to watch for them too.
