Real shame for him, like someone else said, don't think we saw the best of him as he always looked solid for Hudds.

Agree, shame he got more than his fair share of injuries, honest player.

Unless the club signs a straight replacement for Evans or gets Mcgoldrick in at centre i am concerned already for next year.

If the rumours are true we have approached Bradford regarding Glenn Hall then this would explain how Ferres would end up at centre,then i aren't happy on both counts

Good luck James, I'd swap your reliable steady brand of rugby for some of the 'star' players we've had since you left any day.

Million pound game springs to mind.
When Dyer gifted him that try his face was worth a million pounds. Shame he wasn't with us for longer.
A very honest move in terms of his retiring, we all know he could have just signed on for a year like so many have done.

Have a nice retirement James.

Does anyone know if he is based over here now or will he be going back to Oz? Would be nice to shake his hand if I were ever so see him at a game or a function.

Going back to Oz is old Jimmy. Good of him to retire and not flease the club this coming year. Good lad.

Best of luck to Jimmy. Great player when fit, always seemed to be just an average signing on paper but really impressed in both attack and defence. One of our underrated players IMO. Will always be remembered for that try at Murrayfield Magic v Hull.

Regarding his replacement, Dixon back to centre, perhaps? Or even Jordan Thompson's chance to step-up? Or even young Sam Orange? Who knows. Would like us to sign Charnley on loan from Wigan.

would like to wish JAMES EVANS good luck in his retirememt from rugby. its a shame its come to this.thought when he played for us he had some great games,wonder who will be his replacement.as some have said at least hes not just hung on and taken wages for the season with out playing .must have been a big call to call it aday. GOOD LUCK JAMES.

Showed up very well during his stint at KR, I would have liked to get him on loan. A very good prospect IMO.

Have to say I'm disappointed that James won't be with us next year, his scoring ratio of a try every two games shows how effective he was as an attacking player when fit, his defence was also excellent and we will miss him. It's a pity there was lot of negativity surrounding him, as we were continually being told that he was making a comeback from injury, which of course never happened

It does give us an opportunity to sign a replacement, so hopefully we'll see at least another two new faces and add some quality to the much depleted squad.

Thanks for your efforts and your honesty James and best of for the future.

Thanks for your efforts Jimmy.

We now need a top class centre.....
We should chase one with 'dogged' determination!
