Could I be the one to refer people back to the thread title? Has it actually been confirmed anywhere?

They were also all s**t during that period and not worth signing.

Nailed on according to my sources.

Quote Old Feller="Old Feller"Bath coach Meehan hopeful it says here: news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 396308.stm'" I wonder if they showed him their turd hole of a ground. Bath W*****rs told us not to bother bringing our kids to the minis and juniors fixtures back in December (at the last minute as well - many of us were already on the way) because the Rec was "frozen". Although some people from our club were shopping in Bath that morning and saw all their kids training as normal. I guess we weren't easy enough for them to beat, or posh enough to walk on their grass.

We're talking about Eastmond here.

Y'know... Eastmond that plays for Saints.

Y'know... Saints that play at Knowlsey Road.

PMSL.

It's a good point, well made.

The so called Bath minis and juniors have nothing to do with the professional outfit called Bath Rugby nowadays. The land that Bath minis play on (the Rec) is run by a charity, who dictate when conditions are fit for play.

He can hear the money jingling into his bank as we speak,,, yes he looks like robinson but has no where near the same talent as JR, personally i think he will fail at Union and would be a huge loss to league if he does go but will be back soon enough i think... some like it some dont

Apart from John Bentley there are serveral notable England RU internationals that converted to RL. - Bev Risman, (Leigh, Leeds) Mike Coulman (Salford), Keith Fielding (Salford). Barrie John Mather (Wigan & England Schools RU) If you go back futher you have Ray French (St Helens), and the great Leeds legend Jim Brough and Thomas Holiday (Oldham)

Wales RU of course produced a conveyor belt of talent and Scotland chipped in with a few as well - the great Dave Valentine (Huddersfield), Ronnie Cowan, Drew Broatch & Alan Tait etc

In addition to the dual code internationals there have been many local players who came to RL from Union and became top League players Derek Hallas, John Atkinson and Sid Hynes to name a few.

You missed George Fairburn from your Scottish converts, weren't Hugh Waddell & George Graham also Union converts?
Bobbie Goulding I think played union to a high standard as a kid, keeping Kyran Bracken out of a rep side.
