Quote christopher="christopher"Can we have the Samoan full back please?'"
Rugby Union have offered him a $10 million dollar contract apparently, hopefully there’s now enough money in the NRL to keep him in Rugby League.
Theoretically a Super League club could offer him that and he’d only count as £150k on the salary cap as a marquee player, in reality no Super League club could afford it

They should let RU take him. The ARU are in a financial mess. One decent player isn't going to make any difference.

Joseph Suali’i will be the best player in the world within 3 years, he’s never playing SL for anyone.
Given what I’ve seen of the Centres on show, I’d not be interested in MacDonald, Lanai on the other hand…

I could see his upright running style causing him a few issues in RU.

| Quote sharky64="sharky64"So an update from todays coffee catch up. The swap deal is a young player who wants more game time for a experienced player, no names or positions given as it should be announced next week. I did ask who is getting the better deal and he is really adamant we are, so fingers crossed I suppose. Centre wise apparently we are still in for Nene Macdonald and it could be announced next week, but there could be a twist he said lol. Very cryptic today, not really sure what I’m taking from this. I will update again on Sunday.'"
Any update from Sunday Sharky ? |

Yes we should send our 19 year old superstar over to Rugby Union, what a ridiculous response, they’re clearly not in such a financial mess if they can offer league players $10M contracts.
Union can afford to offer Suaalii this because of all the money their International game generates. Yet we have fans complaining left right and centre when we price ours from £25 for World Cup fixtures, claiming our World Cup tickets are too expensive and should be £5/£10. You can’t complain we have no money in our game to keep our best players and also not be willing to put any money into our game. |

Leigh have shipped Sam Stone to Salford which probably eases their quota dilemma and may mean MacDonald stays there. Based on his WC showing that may be no bad thing.. |

No idea whether we are signing him or not but wouldn't rush to judgement on the basis of the WC. He was unfortunate to be playing right centre (not his position anyway) in a PNG team that was almost totally left sided. Didn't see him get a decent pass all tournament. I don't think Stone going to Salford changes things as he'd already been released, but may well be wrong. |

Leigh still currently have 8 non-fed players, even when you assume that Lam is getting a dispensation. Asiata, Ipape, Ferguson, Leutele, Amone, O'Donnell, Nakubuwai and Macdonald. I know that Beaumont has come out and said that he thinks he can get around the rules by loaning one of them out every two weeks to a duel reg partner, but that doesnt get around the registration problem on the 1-December. Unless the rules are significantly changing, Leigh still need to get rid of someone... |

Fair comments on MacDonald. Wasn't so much a judgement of his abilities, more a reflection of how little involvement he had. |

We've been here before with sides testing RFL rules. They're about as watertight as a coachload of octogenarians after a brewery visit. |
