No comparison whatsoever. Big name soccer players are leaving sun and beaches to earn millions in one of the best domestic leagues in the world. NRL players are leaving sun and beaches to play in the cold and rain in a sub-standard competition in sub-standard stadiums. (Castleford, Wakefield).
Would Christiano Ronaldo move to Stockport County and stick around for 3 years? No, because even if the money was equal to what he's on, the club and the league is beneath him.

I thought NRL players came to the UK to earn more £ than they would in the NRL and to get 1st team action.

Some may. Either way, the comp is still beneath even the average NRL player. look at Hiku, fair to middling sort of player in the NRL. Comes to Warrington and looks like Mal Meninga.

No no no no no
Hiku looked like a bright spot in a dour team and gave something to cheer us up, but to compare him to Meninga .. ??

This^^^
He was a good player and performed well but unlikely he would have stood out in the 2011/12 team, meninga would have...... Tho I don't think is was ment as a direct comparison could be substituted with lyons and others of that quality
I cannot see he changing so quickly, given the fact he resisted or wanted to stay at Salford, who forced that sale through.

| Bit of an overreaction to one article that doesn't say BMM is looking for a way out, and it says he is happy in super league.
It would Take something Astranomical to entice him away.
Seeing as most NRL clubs are struggling to retain players and are offloading players left right and centre, Doesn't really ring any alarm bells does it

It's not fare to put Blackpool in the same sentence as Rhyl!(even if I did it too)

LOOKS LIKE MAL MENINGA. Not is as good as, not on par, not comparable..... "came to Warrington and LOOKED like Mal" its a simile, not comparing him at all.
Jesus some people... I.E Warrington were that bad we made Leigh look like the Kangaroos.

By definition a simile is a comparison but I understood what you meant.
[isimile
ˈsɪmɪli/
noun
noun: simile; plural noun: similes
a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid (e.g. as brave as a lion ).
the use of similes as a method of comparison.
"his audacious deployment of simile and metaphor"[/i

| A simile is all about directly comparing one thing to another....
However, I figure now that you meant that we were so poor we made an average player appear to be an exceptionally good player.

| I think its complete balls. There is no mention in there of us or the fact that he had just signed a 3yr deal. My bet is that interview was before he signed for us.

Trouble with that theory is ""There is one opportunity that I know of, but I've been focusing on the World Cup while in camp."

| When did he enter a world cup camp after the season? I'll bet it was before we announced the signing. I reckon we were the "one opportunity".

Might be wishful thinking but if that "one opportunity" were an NRL club he'd have grabbed it with both hands by now. I guess it will come out in the next week or so now Tonga are out, he's due at the club on 18th Dec

| I'll be gutted if he gets a move somewhere else, he will fit in to out team very nicely. Bottom line is though we will get a transfer fee and should be able to get another player in his place, no matter how dissapointing it would be to never seem him in p&b.

Good. Although he can lose referring to himself in the 3rd person. We are not that type of sport thankfully.
