You're just jealous that the biggest Rugby comp on Earth is at least Twice as big as the best Union comp. 
Care to disagree?  |

Funny how Nobby's gone and mentioned Andy Powell by name too. Not suggesting he's one of the few players he says they've had discussions with but while he's bigged up bringing union players to league long before he moved to Wales, it does seem he's cranked it up a notch today and that the club want to make a statement of intent.
Can't see the WRU shaking in their boots just yet though. Or Gareth Thomas being anything other than a poster boy for Crusaders. Hope I'm wrong. |

Your correct.
Alfie has all the attributes to make a solid RL player he might not take it by storm like he could of done 5 years back but there is no reason why he cant be a Cru regular and do a solid job.
He is still a blues 1st team regular at the highest level ie euro cup so i see no problem with him crossing over.!
He does look very fit at the moment and physically looks the best shape i have seen him.
Also alfie is not the type of person to do this if he didnt think he could give it a good shot.!
but
its a bit harsh to pick Adam Jones out of all the front row union forwards.?... a great athelete / rugby player in his own right with great ball handling and running skills. He only has the weight because hes a front row forward and needs to scrummage(one of best in world ..!!) etc you should of picked Phil Vickery or John Hayes.
