Chris Armit will be playing for the Penrith Panthers in 2012

If it's a forward, it may be second rower Gary Warburton, another former Bulldog who is leaving the club. He struggled to get a regular spot in first grade and was a ok player in the NRL. Was behind a large number of players at the club and could go a little better over there in the right conditions.

There is a lot of players off contract at the moment in Australia, which is unusual at this time of the year and is all because the announcement of next years salary cap was late this season.

That's interesting as the Canberra Raiders announced they were trying to sign a current player in the NRL finals. Could be the same player.

I'll let you all know if I hear anything from this end.

If it is who I think you are talking about, could be an awesome signing for either team. Winter in the most boring city on earth (Canberra), or summerish in London town. Tough decision.

Relatively easy distance for family and a partners family or the other side of the world is a big decision and one that I don't reckon you make lightly. Skype makes it easier and on the London side against Canberra, a warm summer versus a very cold winter would be an easy choice for me too, but if it was weather surely get a gig up in Townsville with North Queensland Cowboys, but you'd be moving to a place where the locals don't know if they live in a town or a village.

Typical Sydney-sider prejudice. There are thousands of more boring cities than Canberra. No RL team = boring.

Good point - I stand corrected!
