Money goes further up north, plus, comparing playing for ST Helens and London, no contest really!!!

Nowr to do with cost of living unless they are buying a house. Loaf of bread in Sainsbury's in Ealing is same price in Ull!!
Jordan lives in Hull! His commute to work is going to be a lot easier.
LMS went to Saints for same reason any player goes to a big club! Win trophies and get paid a lot more.

Not everything costs the same. One of my sisters came down to London with her northern fella a few months ago. He nearly passed out when he found out the price of a round!!!!

According to TRL 'Not Yet Determined' Abdull / Cunningham / Davies / Fleming / Gee / Hellewell / Ioane / Kear / Pelissier / Smith.

Out-of-contract players who have either been offered a deal by their current club, or have already signed terms at another club, do not appear on the list ....... so by my reckoning HINDMARSH and WALKER have either resigned or signed elsewhere,

In actual fact, according to ONS data, Yorkshire and the Humber have regional consumer prices approx 2% lower than the UK average whilst London is 7% higher. HTH.

I would be surprised if Walker has not been snapped up by someone, not sure about Hindmarsh but I doubt London would have offered him a deal yet so guessing he will be off also.
