Announced his retirement. Never a great player, but a good and honest one who always gave his all for whichever club he played for. 

Spent a few seasons in the lower leagues at the end of his career, which I like.

Hope he stays in the game in some capacity.

Kris was an honest hardworking centre, who helped Hull KR in their growth period then onto Featherstone & Sheffield. 

He was a late entrant into the game at 15 I believe. 

Good luck to him.

It's always good to have a testimonial for a player where you spell his name wrong and the first thing said was "never a great player" 

😉

I wouldn't want John to do the eulogy at my funeral, that's for sure 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Has Wane been in touch to give a motivational speech before the first test yet?

     Kris averaged a try every other game  208 in 418 not a bad record for a centre.19 years playing although not reaching the very top level was a very good centre.Scoring 29 tries in 30 games for Bradford reads well especially as half were on that tight Odsal playing area.

He was a very good player. You dont get to 400+ appearances if you're not.

Both of his brothers were at Coventry Bears and great guys as well as being model professionals too. 

He played against Liam on Sunday.

Yes, I spelt his name wrong. I sincerely apologise. Maybe I should have said he was a good player, not an all time great. 

By the way, how many people on here have spelt the late, great Rob Burrow's name wrong without being slated?

It was a joke, but lots of people on this forum have been corrected on Burrow's name.

Great bloke too. He treated my office for a bug infestation about 3 years ago around the time he was at the Eagles. 

If Johnh1 had known about these bug swatting skills earlier he’d have written Chris (ahem) a better eulogy. It needs more publicity.

A try for Kris in his last game brought his Eagles total to 50.

And a goal took his career total to three.

Kris's try at around 4.00.  Ryan Millar was on a hattrick there but preferred to pass inside to an obviously delighted Welham. Why is he retiring?

Now that's a proper team mate, good to see
