Brings to mind a previous international centre who played for Hull and went to Leeds where he played at 6. His career rose to new heights for club, England and Gt Britain. Saw him out here play for Gt Britain in an Ashes series where, as captain, he produced one of the most dominating performances I have ever seen by a GB player for a comprehensive win in Melbourne. Had a couple of good spells in Aus at 2 clubs too.
Didn't know the full background for his departure from Hull but I believe the club were in some form of financial stress at the time.
I think and hope those days are over, but if a player wants to leave, the power is more less all with him as there is no much you can do about it, so if this move did heappne, I think it would be because of the players desire to move to Leeds rather than financially.
As it stands I cannot see why he would want to leave Hull for Leeds at this time, they look a way off challenging and dont have a coach in place. I think he will stay at Hull until the end of his contract (2021) then maybe move to the NRL or another club, if we aren't challenging again.
