It's difficult to judge isn't it? I rememebr Jonathon Davies switching and i thought, what a tart - he'll get smashed in this game. "Little Jonathon" turned out to be a class act, not only here but for the Canterbury Bulldogs too.

On the flip side? One name. John Gallagher

Centre maybe but stand off?

Where are all the posters moaning about Lee Smiths ' defection ' to RU ?

Surely they should be coming on here to complain how unfair it is that a RU player could be tempted to change codes

Double standards methinks

If you want to discuss Union please do so on the "Other Sports" thread. Come on Starbug, you've been on here long enough to understand that

Henson will frighten the likes of keith senior and adrian morley

I think if Henson did make the switch I think he'd do ok. He can muscle up when he has too, as long as he stops looking at himself for more than 10 seconds during the game. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TY5lUu0AN8 This technique reminds me of a certain SBW. Here's another at the start from the same game www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzN8Hg7y ... re=related

Why? DOnt they tackle hard in union?

1. He is an immensly talented player, and I suspect would make a fair few people on this thread eat humble pie

2. True or not its good that Celtic are getting their name linked with a household name in the national press. Other RL clubs, take note.

3. If it happened it would be national news and would put a fair few thousand on the Celtic gates, at least short term and long term might aid in recruitment of young players and juniors

If it is a true story and happens, it would be a great coup for Celtic and RL.

Thanks for that Mr Picky.

There are a few other clips that show he is a decent player that would do well.

I disagree that his head was in the wrong place in the first tackle as the player was cutting back to his right so to hit him with his left shoulder would mean he fell on top of the player and not the other way around.

The second one I disagree with as well. The player was running straight he put his head to the right of the oncoming player. In my opinion there is no right or wrong way in that situation as long as you get the shoulder in and wrap your arms around making the tackle as he did.

No, the Island of Sodor, which is between Barrow and the Isle of Man.

Don't Barrow Island amateur team play out of Walney, just outside of Barrow and technically on Sodor ?

Are you thinking of Ivor The Engine ?

And whilst we're on the subject of famous Welsh people liked with Celtic, how about Ruth or Phillip Madoc ?

All of the above.

Was the vicar/reverand who wrote the stories Welsh?

A few fans met with a few top people at the club earlier.

A few comments made didn't exactly pour fuel on the rumours but they didn't deny them either when asked straight. Leighton will know him already through his links with union etc so funnier things have happened.

bridgend lad too aint he? well pencoed which is near by

Yes he is.

He's been to quite a few Crusaders games. I spoke to him after one.

Around the time when he was due to pack in the game totally I told him to 'keep at it'.

He told me I might sign for Crusaders. Took it as a joke as he'd had a few and so did I but funnier things have happened.
