At the end of the day I dont blame any player in rugby leaving a club for better money, it's there job and it's a short career so take what you can while you can.
I think with the Connelly situation was the fact he went Wigan that got to the fans and I think the player and club could have handeled it better.
Players need to make as much money possible in the shirt time they have as a player.
I'm a st Helen's lad who's saints mad but as a youth player I turned saints down to sign for Widnes because they offered more money and I was only 15/16 at the time so I can see why Connelly did it 100%.

I've always said if I'd been good enough to play pro at a top class standard I would have followed the money (even if that would have meant playing for the dark side). Do you remember Warrington splashing the cash on players our age? several of your Orrell team mates went there iirc
