Whoever we recruit, I would explain to them in advance that

1. The NW of England is a dump but there are some OK'ish parts to live.
2. The British Isles boasts appalling weather (not an issue if they suffer from erythropoietic protoporphyria)
3. England is steeped in tradition, culture and a rich history. This will be a shock for an Australian.
4. Casual misogyny is not in fashion at the moment.
5. There are beaches at Southport and New Brighton but keep expectations modest.

Amen to that, brother.

What’s even more worrying, is that Brown (especially) and Roberts are sound defensively. Eastmond’s been playing centre in Union, and I’m pretty sure his defence isn’t going to be anywhere near that of Brown.

All I can say is Eastmond had better damn well score two tries for every one he lets in...

Why can’t we just pay a hefty fee and salary for an out and out RL half back?

No question
No question about it.
However he said he'll be at Catalans whether they got relegated or not.

No, I don't see him as a SL half back either.

I do. He's like another Ratchford or Tomkins with some Sandow and Albert Kelky in him.
He'd be at home anywhere in the spine.
I for one can't wait...if I have any reservations at all, it's that we could become a team reliant upon him like Sandow and Briers.
I hope we get another top spine player to have depth.

who are you talking about again?

We drifted off Roberts on to Eastmond.

Since we broke the story on here last May, Roberts performances improved 2 fold.

Luckily,Tyrone & his family have not yet been exposed to our usual "summer " weather of incessant rain,gales & floods. When that happens,his family might be on the first flight home.

......This burning and worrying question for me here is who else is next through the "homesick exit door"?

This is happening too much lately & highlights the need for a good youth & academy system in the UK instead of bringing in overseas players who may or may not hack it over here.

Sam Burgess, James Graham and Garth Widdop I hope...get them all here.

He says he's 100% committed for the remainder of this season. Does anyone actually believe that? Another Aussie disaster story.

right, cos, you didn't seem to be describing eastmond, that's what lost me.

Just my opinion but i think he'll give us a decent showing for the rest of the season, he's told us in plenty of time and at least he's seeing the season out.

Interesting to read TKL's article in the Guardian the other week about how he coped as a 19 year old on his own over here when he signed. We need more signings with his toughness.

Shame about Roberts, although to be honest the Aldi-brand Vegimite is rubbish.

its all ballsed, we've tried that route with patton, despite him being pretty good in 2016 he's been naff at halfback since. People have mentioned this past week about signing trueman from cas, we tried that in the past with myler and look how that panned out.

I've got a debbie downer on me this morning, i've wanted all these roberts rumours to go away and for him to be the hero the wire fans want and haven't had since briers left, its a kick in the nuts.

See, this is the other thing thats peeing me off over this, most of us have watched this sport for 20 plus years, in that time, before say 3 season back, how many foreign players went back under the homesickness excuse? i can't think of any.

langer and Gee left under a cloud after DV2 was ousted, vagana went back cos auckland realised they'd made a massive bollock drop and took him back(and took tony tatupu as payment)

oh kidwell did, he went back halfway through his second season, although to be fair it was amazing we'd managed to sign him in the first place, his partner supposedly wanted to go back to oz due to personal problems, though he conveniently had a contract at the roosters waiting for him.

Would not surprise me if now the news is out and its all confirmed that we see a different player (hope so anyway). He must feel relieved that his future is sorted and hes on his way home. Hopefully a happier player may lead to him showing us what he can do. Wont hold my breath though....

Lol. OK. We'll soon find out.

He will leave before the end of the month

No he won't.

Only just spotted this. It is a shame because he has shown glimpses that he could be a decent HB - not nearly enough though.

I reckon Joe Mellor may be a target to replace roberts.
