It’s fair to say it’s not been the best bit of business by the club,I’m all for giving players who have injury problems their chance but this hasn’t worked out for me.

It’s a pity because Iain is a big game player.

Very disappointing for Iain but at least he had his big day at Spurs. How many games did he actually complete this season? I seem to remember three that he started and went off injured. I know he's contracted for next season but I can't help thinking that the club should help him through his re-hab and then encourage him to move on.

Made of biscuits for sure and I hold my hands up, I was very, very sceptical when he re-signed. I must admit though (in the few games he has featured), I think he's done well.

When he was playing for Leigh you could see he didn't have the agility needed for Super League. It was also clear the few games he played this year too.

I wish him a speedy recovery and all the best for the future
