The RFU should sue him under the trade description act for faulty goods. Farrell really did fill his boots, line his pockets and reap it in during his holiday in the Zurich Premiership.

Gotta laugh at the RFU, Farrell has got a nice little pension off em

Great player who carried Wigan on his own at times, always felt they were in with a chance in the derby when he played for them, not anymore.

Never quite did it at International level but fully deserving of the chance to screw the RFU of some cash and retire. Hopefully he will be seen back in rugby league in the near future in a coaching capacity.

.......and as a mark of respect theres a statue being errected in St Helens.

Thank you very much, i wish our club was as thoughtful over true RL legends.

Is it more than a coincidence that Farrells departure virtually signalled the demise of Wigan Rugby League?

He left at just the right time. Any money he screwed from the RFU, he deserves.
He is one of the few true legends of Rugby League
