Sporting careers are short careers, especially when they're as brutal as Rugby League.
Joel can't be blamed for looking after his future whichever path it takes.

Cant disagree with you add the factor in that it could all be over in a blink of an eye as well you can't blame anyone,not just Joel for looking after themselves.

I think it is wrong to just link it to sporting careers, I know that when it comes to my job I look after myself, would like to be paid as much as possible and retire as soon as possible.

I think it's quite simple with Joel.play him in the second row always and never ever play him at centre.hes not the best and is overrated but is wigan through and through.hes not clever enough at centre and needs to run as hard as he does when he can't see the try line.i want more clean breaks in your own 25 Joel.come on wigan fans who agrees with this coz all his breaks are in the opposition 25. Oh and no stats please I'm going off what I've seen with my own eyes

Absolutely, and anyone who says otherwise is lying, deluded or rich enough.
League players' salaries are an absolute joke, thanks to the RFL not being able to promote the game effectively.

I fully understand your question. My answer is that Joel is a top player and every top player needs cockiness/arrogance or whatever you want to call it. Gregory, Hanley, Farrel and Edwards had it in bucket loads. Can you please point out the penalties he gave away on Friday?

Furby, I think Joel has done more in RL than just play 1 good match!

Furby666 How do you ascertain that Joel is arrogant? Nothing in his play gives the impression that he's an arrogant person.Or perhaps my perception is different to yours.Apart from his return from Union when he was re-adapting and a couple of error strewn games he's been quite solid in his all round play.Thank heavens we won against the saints or I hesitate to think what you would have had to say then. As for the thirty peices of silver and his move to the dark side.He is entitled to take his employment capabilities to any club that deemed him good enough to employ him.It is what we call freedom to ply our trade.Whatever the reasons for his return I for one welcomed him back to the club but not for one minute did I read any comments about him being the prodigal returning.Infact some posters questioned if he would fit back into the team.And please don't be quite so defensive if someone happens to disagree with your comments it is a forum with differing points of view. :)
