The only reason that this is being mentioned is because he can't get in the Welsh National rugby union team and if he's not good enough to play for them after playing rugby union all of his career i'm fairly sure he's not going to be that effective at League.

He's slow, not particularly strong and not particularly skillful. The only thing he's got going for him is a strong boot. Personally i would expect a little bit more from an international rugby league centre.

To be fair if we had that backline we'd be a hell of a lot closer to the aussies than we are.
More than anything, think of the publicity..we'd have the union toffs spitting chips if it came off

Gavin is too broken to play union, that will transfer well to the less damaging game of league ...
oh.

I always thought international rugby league players were selected on the folowing basis. They qualify to represent their particular country and they are the best qualifying rugby league player in their postion. So why the hell would spotty Harris consider selecting someone who doesn't even play the sport? It makes even more of a mockery of the international competition!!

Great overeaction to a comment made by Harris boys and girls. What else was he going to say? If Gavin Henson actually was in Harris' first Wales squad then I'd get excited.

Whats the problem??

This has been the hallmark of the GB/England game for many years

You have been watching this as well huh?

Henson for Welsh RL.

Good news for everyone else I'd say.

Guys put aside what you've read about Henson in the Sun.

I've seen him at his peak (when Union still interested him) and he can win games on his own.

The Welsh player most suited to a Union to League conversion would be our full back Lee Byrne (who incidentally has played both codes). He would not only walk into any League side in Britain (including the national teams), he would captain them shortly after. There in nobody in either code who has better running lines or spatial awareness than Lee Byrne. Except Gavin Henson when on form.

Now Gav may have sent a lot of time injured and he may appear disinterested in Union (I can currently understand that), but there has rarely been a more gifted rugby player of ANY code than Gavin Henson on form.

If he can regain HALF his top level form, he'll still get into most SL sides.

You are Charlotte Church and I claim my £5.

He's mega fit. They should sign him to league just to make the Sky promotional shots more appealing.

We do fine with Ben Westwood and Jamie Jones Buchanan
