Good Luck Eddie Im pleased you are getting the chance to play in SL. RL players have a short career path compared to other careers and need to do what is necessary. LB will miss you, you have been a great attribute to them and always loyal to the club but your needs are paramount to your decisions.

Shame he's gone, but not altogether surprising.
The need to beef up our pack suddenly got more pressing.

From Monkey's terse statement, the Broncos are not happy & who can blame them?

Re: Eddie : Mon Jan 25, 2021 12:55 pm  

Agree with archie, if you read this forum eddie, good luck mate, you were always a gent to me ta for that.

Great quote te in the Yorkshire Post this morning, 'I've always wanted to play in Super League' Mmm

There will be a few pubs in West London that will miss him.

Why would you blame a player wanting to better him self and play in a higher league and probably for better money.

ML may not like it but would he stay in a job in a lower position than he was capable of for less money. Its a no brainer, He has worked hard to reach SL and I wish him well as he was always a gent to me and deserves this chance.

Re: Eddie : Mon Jan 25, 2021 2:39 pm  

I have no problem with him leaving the club. He was given a chance by Hendo which he has made the most of and he has done well.
What is more he comes from up that way. So who could blame him for taking this opportunity.

I think you & wantawin have missed the point of my observation. Don't think anyone would begrudge Eddie his day in the sun. He has given his all when playing & good kyck to him.

Its also not for ML to like or otherwise as he is Commercial Manager not CEO or Owner but usually when our players leave, even those under contract, there is something from Hughes thanking them etc etc. Not this time & even Wakefield's name isn't mentioned. I'm sure Eddie was a big part of Danny's plans so you can understand the terseness of the statement. Don't think Wakefield have conducted themselves well though.
