[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 771291, member: 38640"] Whose to say they could afford him two years ago? He wanted to go to union because it was a World Cup year. I don't think he would have passed up a rugby league world cup to do so. I honestly think his transition was always doomed to fail; simply because it seemed to be based on a desire to play in a one-off tournament. Nothing about his subsequent departure makes me think he'd have chosen to leave league two years earlier to earn an England call-up. In my opinion the fault lies with the RFU in spending 500k a season, over someone they overestimated their desire to be a union player. [/QUOTE]
