On the face of it, I think this is a great move and don't know what all the fuss is about if we use the freed up cap space wisely. For whatever reason it hasn't worked and most on here have been calling for his neatly trimmed ginger head to be axed for some time.
As a collective, we seem to want it both ways, he might do better at Leigh alongside Hughes, Mulhearn, Davis for a we'll show 'em season, but imagine the furore if Powell had persisted with picking him without any improvement in form? What we certainly can't be accused of is improving/wet nursing this guy for a rival a la Wardle for Wigan.
