Quote: Hatfield tiger "Is he class? - he certainly was.
As for RU - he came on when England had absolutely battered the Kiwis up front and had no other options than to try and move the ball around via SBW offloads. He and New Zealand were totally ineffectual in that respect and was easily defended against.
If he were such a massive attraction why is there not an offer of a contract in the NRL. The best he can hope for is a new deal in RU, a coaching role in Oz, or a crazy deal at the end of his career - much like the one he is being offered now.
The reality is that its a gimic - he can still play and play well but that money is just crazy for one player - going to be great for moral as well'"
Let's see where he ends up then, shall we
If SBW is the player that you describe, he wouldn't get a deal in either the NRS, SL or Union and would be put out to grass.
There will be offers from all 3 of these and as I said previously, IF Toronto have offered the HUGE contract that is rumoured and he still ends up somewhere else, it would suggest that he is indeed still in demand.
In League, the guy has it all, power, strength, agility, superb handling skills and the heart of a lion and tbf, that skillset, although great in Union, is much better suited to RL and I really do hope that he ends up in SL (and not back in Union or The NRL).
