probably, they also say alot of tosh. As i said i would love it to be true, but with the salary cap it would mean a probable wage cut for him, made up by less sponsorship than in union. He would have to be part RFL funded for it to be feasable, IMO

He is not that good an RU player, he would get murdered in SL

Give him half a season and watch him leg it, well hobble it anyway.

Tart.

Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, Fireman Sam...

...Super Ted, Cerys from Catatonia and Iestyn Harris.

Wasn't Thomas the Tank Engine set in Wales?
I'm sure the island was based on Anglesey.

Injury prone has-been seeking last big pay day, or top class player seeking new challenge?The cynic in me thinks the former im afraid.

As long as he wasn't on a big wage, think the salary cap would see to that anyway, who cares?

You sad person



The relevance to RL and TtTE is ?

I know the answer but don't want to say it.

Shows what you know!
The Fat Controller played prop for Batley in the 70's before going on to manage Liverpool FC.

He is only 27 (i think) if he was 31, i might be more suspicious. Now i'm just suspicious that this story is balls

Of course it is.

On what basis do you come up with this? Just because you dislike union? The guy would be an awesome SO/outside back.

until he got properly tackled, he'd never get up again!

It's difficult to judge isn't it? I rememebr Jonathon Davies switching and i thought, what a tart - he'll get smashed in this game. "Little Jonathon" turned out to be a class act, not only here but for the Canterbury Bulldogs too.

On the flip side? One name. John Gallagher

Centre maybe but stand off?

Where are all the posters moaning about Lee Smiths ' defection ' to RU ?

Surely they should be coming on here to complain how unfair it is that a RU player could be tempted to change codes

Double standards methinks

If you want to discuss Union please do so on the "Other Sports" thread. Come on Starbug, you've been on here long enough to understand that

Henson will frighten the likes of keith senior and adrian morley

I think if Henson did make the switch I think he'd do ok. He can muscle up when he has too, as long as he stops looking at himself for more than 10 seconds during the game. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TY5lUu0AN8 This technique reminds me of a certain SBW. Here's another at the start from the same game www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzN8Hg7y ... re=related

Why? DOnt they tackle hard in union?

1. He is an immensly talented player, and I suspect would make a fair few people on this thread eat humble pie

2. True or not its good that Celtic are getting their name linked with a household name in the national press. Other RL clubs, take note.

3. If it happened it would be national news and would put a fair few thousand on the Celtic gates, at least short term and long term might aid in recruitment of young players and juniors

If it is a true story and happens, it would be a great coup for Celtic and RL.

Thanks for that Mr Picky.

There are a few other clips that show he is a decent player that would do well.

I disagree that his head was in the wrong place in the first tackle as the player was cutting back to his right so to hit him with his left shoulder would mean he fell on top of the player and not the other way around.

The second one I disagree with as well. The player was running straight he put his head to the right of the oncoming player. In my opinion there is no right or wrong way in that situation as long as you get the shoulder in and wrap your arms around making the tackle as he did.
