I think they’ll have ironed out any potential issue before confirming the appointment anyway but if not he’d be one to keep an eye on. His form this season would be a worry for me. He’s not at his best and you want to make sure it’s not the start of a more permanent decline. He’s only 30 I believe but has been playing superleague in a tough position for a long time now.
The more I think about it, the more I wouldn't want him. Like you said he's bang out of form & he turns 31 in a couple of months. When you then add in his questionable disciplinary record (something moving to Wigan won't help him improve), his best days are firmly behind him.
Sadly when you look around the game as a whole, there's a real lack of top class props at the min. There's a handful of good ones, but when you compare it to the depth at FB, wing or HB there's certainly less to go around.
