Stewart isn't a has-been though. He was a stand-out player for Catalan in SL last season, he played origin and for Australia 2 seasons ago. And, at 32, he's not exactly over the hill.

As a newly promoted team, we need experience to compete. Stewart is a great signing for us. There's a fair few other SL teams he'd get into too

When there was 'licensing' SL clubs were given the chance you sign/young English/Welsh talent, and guess what, but they didn't, and instead 'chased trophies' and signed experienced/old antipodeans.

Did he?

Sorry my mistake

It doesn't change the fact that he's performed at SL level this season, he's very experienced and still has plenty to offer. All talk of him being a has been or past it is nonsense

I know.

Hed have been a MOS contender had he played for an English club in 2016..

Glenn Stewart is a liar and a backstabber. He asked for a release for family reasons. That usually means he or his wife wants to return home. Catalans feels sorry for him and expects him to return to Australia. Instead he signs for an English club within days. What a deceitful person!.

Good luck with him, Leigh

Stewart probably left Catalans because they would not sign his crippled brother to play full back.

That would be the Glenn Stewart who's son has learning difficulties. He requested an early release from his contract for this family reason. His son has been struggling due to the language barrier and he and his wife wanted to move him to a school where the language was English so as to ease the pressure on his son. No lies there, he's been upfront about it.

Do they speak English in Leigh?

Might be the best you can do anyway. Rats and sinking ship spring to mind. It will be good to have a French and Canadian team in the Championship in 2018. Maybe 2 French teams if Toulouse feck it up.

I wish him well at Leigh.

It's a shame that it didn't work out at Dragons for off the field reasons, but good luck to him.

At least look at the facts first before you stab your keyboard with your index fingers..

Family reasons is family reasons, not what his wife wants.

Go have a lie down before your blood pressure goes through the roof

Haha squirm baby squirm

Huddersfield1895. I thought post-brexit we will stop European immigration and have move immigration from the commonwealth like Nigel and Boris said. so presumably we'll have more aussies and kiwis and fewer French players in England?
