No, the Island of Sodor, which is between Barrow and the Isle of Man.

Don't Barrow Island amateur team play out of Walney, just outside of Barrow and technically on Sodor ?

Are you thinking of Ivor The Engine ?

And whilst we're on the subject of famous Welsh people liked with Celtic, how about Ruth or Phillip Madoc ?

All of the above.

Was the vicar/reverand who wrote the stories Welsh?

A few fans met with a few top people at the club earlier.

A few comments made didn't exactly pour fuel on the rumours but they didn't deny them either when asked straight. Leighton will know him already through his links with union etc so funnier things have happened.

bridgend lad too aint he? well pencoed which is near by

Yes he is.

He's been to quite a few Crusaders games. I spoke to him after one.

Around the time when he was due to pack in the game totally I told him to 'keep at it'.

He told me I might sign for Crusaders. Took it as a joke as he'd had a few and so did I but funnier things have happened.

If the coup came off would be good for the game if it brought in 3000 more fans in each game and they charge 15pound next year that would make £585000 and would pay less than that in wages.

I play Union, therefore I am rubbish.

You keep telling yourself that is the situation with 'the other code'.

Some great athletes in Union, many who would show up our wonderful code.


Henson would be a great centre, and great for Celtic, should be ever challenge himself.

do people still really believe in the crap written in the scum?????????????

Four pages would suggest they do.

Well said.

would be one of the best running centres in the SL if so, whether he'd give up international union for good and probably more money is another thing.

They'd be better looking at some 17 year old quality youngsters and getting them signed up for alot less.

Might be good marketing but would be a lot of salary cap eggs in one basket and given the general quality of their signings to date i doubt they have the money anyway.

I hope you're not insinuating that players of the calibre of Josh Hannay really aren't very good?

I think one thing they dont have enough of is over paid hacks from outside their development system who are just leeching money thanks to poor players recruitment by the clubs management.

You can never have enough of them!

On the basis he is not that good an RU player. I doubt he would be 'awesome' in SL either, we have planty of players already who do not fit into the 'awesome' category, so I doubt Mr Church will.

Me too.

On Henson, i think his form has been unimpressive since 2006, he even lost his club shirt a couple of times.
The plus side is that, thanks to his multi-millionaire wife, money might not be a big thing and if he is dis-illusioned (sp) with his playing career, he might genuinely fancy a new challenge.

Obviously he'll struggle to make an impression, what with all the high qulaity british centres running round SL.

If they don't have to pay that much, I'd be tempted.

he would not play centre he would be too exposed defensively and would be targeted by every second row and loose forward in the game.

he would play full back , once he learnt positional play and would be joining the line in the attack. Would be the go to man for 5th tackle kicking.

I sometimes read this forum and wonder if some of the posters actually watch RL, they certainly dont understand it.

Their grasp of RU is even more tenuos

Any link to this story?

Id have him over any of Hull KRs outside backs.

You obv dont watch union because if you did, you would know he has all the attributes to make it in RL.

that's not unusual....

I can't see it happening, I reckon his agent has just put this story out to give him some leverage when attempting to get more money from RU.

If the French RU lot don't want him, he may well end up at Celtic Crusaders. The WRU is on it's butt financially (alledgedly)

Don't know about his ability to change codes, but there have been a couple of drink related incidents that perhaps CC should think about before signing him.

Written by an anglican Rev based in South Birmingham, not sure why he would have chosen Wales as a setting.
