I would hope that every club that takes 2 players from developing nations would take 2 from the same country, as happened with the Serbs at Warrington. That way it will diminish to some degree the impact of loneliness and homesickness.

I remember when Wests Tigers had a Russian RL player on their books for a few months.

Short stay and i'm sure he learnt a lot.

Quote: JB Down Under "Given the sprinting abilities of the Caribbean Islands you'd think there would be some potential over there?'"


a fast player's not good unless he's been playing good level rugby since a relatively young age. Being an athlete alone is generally over-rated in RL in this country. Countless London juniors have come through as the next big thing based on speed (Caro, Worrincey....) and turned out to be fairly poor RL players. If you haven't got a football brain and an RL heart you have no chance.

True but speed and physique and get them early enough and you have a new talent pool of speedy wingers. Identify at 16 , get them in an elite training program in their country and take the best 18 year olds into SL and NRL systems.

Like I mentioned earlier in the thread, Konrad Hurrell came to RL quite late, as did Tom Lineham at Hull.

Both are terrific athletes who are still learning the basics of the game in reality.
