Good luck to him.

Disappointed, but not surprised.

Start a petition, he might change his mind!

Thats what persuaded George Carmont to stay................apparently

really thought he was going to stay, he seemed to really enjoying himself over here, still i suppose the lure of a cashed up 3 deal back home overshadowed the meager amount another season here would have provided, if he had been a couple years younger i wonder if he would have stayed

In all seriousness - has been good to see him over here, even though everyone knew full well it was only because of Storm's difficulties and wouldn't be for more than a year.



He could have come over and coasted knowing he was going back to the Storm - but that clearly isn't his style. Cracking player.

He was never, ever going to stay. I wouldn't be surprised if he had already signed a pre-contract with Storm before even coming to Wigan.

Agreed. It's been a pleasure watching him this year - a complete professional.



Would hope some of the younger 2nd Rowers have picked up a few things from training with him too.

Sad to see him go but fair play to him, he's never given anything less than 100% for us.



Hope he returns to the Storm with both a CC Winner's medal & GF Winner's ring.



So much for #onemoreyearryanhoffman

A shame he won't be here longer, but no surprises really.



And it does allow us to use cap money in areas where we will need to strengthen for next year.



Can't wait for the first poster to ask "how long was his contract for?". I have a feeling I know who it might be....

Disappointing but would never hold it against him, I give great thanks for him coming over and it’s been a pleasure to watch such a quality player in the Wigan team. Shame he has to go but back row isn’t a position we’re short on numbers so it’s not the worst thing in the world.



Bring in Chris Heighington to replace if possible!
