Reminds me of Danny Orr's last season - knew he wouldn't be playing next year and so put absolutely everything into each and every game.

I'd hope we give him another year - been awesome of late

In any case why would he want to sign for Salford - they don't pay their players do they?

If we'd have been talking about this last year we'd have been looking at replacing him then, prior to the wigan quarter final. He was bashed up when he signed for us and has spent about a full season out injured (or thereabouts) in his last 2 and a half years.

I've said before, that if he's injury free then he's a starting centre and unstoppable. But he seems only moments away from a season ending injury. In the last few matches he's holding one part of his body or another and I keep thinking is this the moment its over.......................and then he pulls another amazing tackle or play out from nowhere.

The mans a machine, but they eventually break and you move on with a new version.

Fingers crossed there's an acceptable offer on the table for Jake

I am really hoping that a deal can be sorted out. He's been awesome so far this year, and would be a great mentor for Crooks (and Minikin if confirmed).

I'm surprised he's just 31! His rugby career is going to have a real bearing on there's of his life. I love him as a player and would be very sorry to see him go. In the long run, is playing on the best for him long term? He looks in pain everything he takes a tackle. Player welfare must be paramount.

The article doesn't suggest JW wants to either stay or leave. I would keep him for another season myself if he wants to stay with us as either a starting centre or a utility bench player centre/2nd rower.
