By Jonathan Davies Wales dual-code rugby legend

I'm not surprised that Iestyn Harris has chosen to return to rugby league because his contract is so open-ended that he always knew he had a way back.

I don't think Iestyn's applied himself as well as he could have Ruddock accepts Harris move Harris to quit union

My situation when I went from union to league was different, I had to make a success of it because at the time there was no road back to south Wales.

I don't think Iestyn's applied himself as well as he could have, but I also don't think that those around him have helped.

He was rushed into the Wales team purely for financial motives when he wasn't ready for Test rugby.

He should have played at inside centre rather than fly-half from the start, whereas we've only seen him at 12 for one season.

It's a blow for Wales because he's a very talented individual and we haven't seen the best of him, and the more talented players we have the better we will do at regional and international level.

But the buck does stop with Iestyn and he should have worked harder.

League is a simpler game to union and he will adapt back to it Leeds to fight for Harris Analysis: A dream unfulfilled

The contract situation concerning his return to league is so complex that I don't think anyone knows what is happening - including Iestyn.

Leeds Rhinos chief executive Gary Hetherington saw Iestyn Harris as their star man before he left and would certainly have wanted first call on him if he returned to rugby league.

The Rhinos have got a young, talented stand-off in Danny McGuire now, but the point is not whether they want Iestyn or not - it's getting first refusal.

Bradford Bulls are in for a stand-off as they have been lacking there ever since Henry Paul switched to union with Gloucester, so we'll have to wait and see.

As to how Iestyn will fare back in the north, league is a very different, simpler game to union, and he will adapt back to it.

But it will take time.
