Has been released by WASPs and obviously has a few issues but ive always thought when i've seen him play that he runs like a rugby league prop. Would any one take a chance on him?

I'd like to see him go to Quins to give them a big name that Twickers regulars might go to see.

My thoughts
The Twickers regulars wouldn’t go and see Quins RL if Jason Robinson, Jeremy Guscott or Will Carling were playing for them. The Twickers Union crowd are simply not interested in Rugby League – we need to accept that and move on
As for Powell, he is a Rugby League players playing Rugby Union – his game is entirely suited to our sport but he comes with serious baggage and would disrupt the team without doubt
Worth the risk? Maybe for Crusaders but as with Henson, they should say no and concentrate on building a stable future not short term publicity

If he wants to play league, and he stated in May 2010 "I'm sure I will do it - at some point in the next year or so" he will likely have to play for a lesser English side with money under the cap, ie Harlequins RL or Wakefield Wildcats or return home to Wales and play for the Crusaders with Gareth Thomas. Any move to Super League would give him an almost guaranteed place in the Wales squad for the beefed up Four Nations.
There is a rugby union world cup this year, and the Wales coach Warren Gatland seems interested in him playing, but with the union season virtually he may struggle to force his way into that setup if he doesn't have a club.
I would say he is a good chance at playing Super League at Wrexham this year, but the RUWC is a big deal to some people.

He may not get into the Welsh squad for NZ. He's not an automatic pick. Plus he's a liability. |

IF he can find another Union club and IF the WRU say he is in with a chance of making the Wales squad then I think he will stay in RU.
However if not... he might give league a go. |

Yawnion get one of arguably our best prospects in Eastmond.
We are looking at the possibilities of signing a ageing player with disiplinary problems.
I dont like it, but its a fact.

All players are ageing, that is definitely a fact. I would prefer to bring a 19 year old full international, but at 29 is he really too old how to learn how be a prop forward in the quicker game.
Eastmond left to have his ego stroked in a code that has an international game with a wider appeal, and more money for an easier run. We can certainly aim to sort out two of those problems for our game, and Andy Powell may be seen as a lesser footballer going the other way to Eastmond, but I certainly wouldn't mind having a wrecking ball of a forward on the books at the Twickenham Stoop and Iestyn Harris wouldn't mind having a Welsh born player to help build a competitive team for the Four Nations, even if he might not want him in Wrexham right now. |

Given the picture shows him getting smashed over the head with a chair you feel he could have put up a better fight?
How about you trying it?

Well under-14s to Super League is a fairly big stepping stone in my book. |
