It looks like Gavin Henson has burned his bridges in French RU, given that George Carmont may call it a day at the end of the season and we're currently playing a second rower at right centre, would (salary cap permitting) you take a punt on him?

Plus points
Big lad, decent pace, good goal kicker

Negative points
Attitude seems dodgy to say the least

Would a new challenge bring the best out of him?

No thanks.

Definitely not. Far too many attitude issues plus the gamble that comes in any cross code switch. Would be a waste of a fair chunk of cap space.

Seems to have good skills and may be useful as a stand off as well as centre. I'll leave it up to someone much more qualified than me to make a decision on him though.

He would come with a hefty price tag though.

He will burn his bridges wherever he goes, doesnt seem to stick at anything

I hope he goes to Crusaders tbh, would bring in afew more people through the gate etc

No

Age 29 - would demand a huge fee (Toulon will be paying him shed load like all French RU), would take time to adapt - assuming he could stay out of trouble, worth a risk ...for me absolutely not we would be best to stay well clear, even assuming he would be interested and I don't think he would consider RL.

He's the sort of player Leeds would have bought back in the 90s.

They'd have paid a fortune for him, courted publicity from the world's sporting press for the best part of a month, and then, ignoring advice that it was going to take him at least a year (by which time he'd be in his 30s) to reach an adequate standard, they'd pitch him straight into a very tough match, expecting great things, only to see the opposition drop him on his head in the first minute and kill any further interest he might have in a game as tough as Rugby League.

He would then quietly withdraw from view, a lot richer, and Leeds would hardly ever mention the incident again, their fans preferring to talk about how Wigan's era of dominance was due entirely to colossal and ill-advised expenditure on overseas players.

no thanks...not good enough...and too many off field issues

We couldnt afford to pay for his fake tan and hair gel let alone his salary.

I hope Saints and Wire are interested though.

One of his team mates said about him recently "When he has had a drink he turns from Andy Pandy to a person who wants to fight the world... Trouble is, he fights like Andy Pandy"

Oh and NO!!

Too much baggage and a poor injury history IIRC

He'd bring us some press but were not a club that overly needs it compared to others. As were a top line rugby league club I think we should stick to signing top line league players and leave celebrities who play rugby in their spare time well alone!

If we were taking a Jamie Roberts, Shane Williams or Brian O'Driscoll then I'd be tempted but Henson I'd leave well alone.

Brilliant idea, perhaps he could bring Dennis Moran back with him

Crusaders should sign him ONLY for publicity. They are losing momentum and need a boost. I have no doubt that his first game could draw close to 10k. He is a huge celeb in Wales.

Can't act, can't sing...can dance a little.

I hear "Henson" and automatically think of "muppet"

And strangely pretty spot on in this case....

as Frankie Howerd said "nay , nay and thrice nay"

I thought he played for saracens not toulon

If he comes to RL it will be to a far worse side than Wigan IMO.

IL isn't daft enough to splash a decent chunk of cap on this waster.

and thats exactly why we don't want him hes been at 3 union clubs this year and is set to leave another would be an appauling signing considering his wage and the amount of talent coming through our ranks.

Can we make a bid for Charlotte Church?

Swit swooooo!!

I'd like to see him in Rugby League, probably just not at Wigan.

Amen to that!

NO!

Look I've just had my tea, are you trying to make me bring it back up?
