I've always been a big fan of his

He would be good for Rugby league

Pse read the AUP on copyright. tb

Another positive it is getting League in the paper for the right reasons.

Ten fold if the signing is completed.

Is that video in slow motion?

Excellent publicity and a reasonable crowd puller I'm sure. Probably an ok signing as a player. Overall, it's a thumbs up from me.

First of many? If he goes, might be followed by a line of other players, who would do really well.

I heard that Witt is a signing from RU? So perhaps Nobby knows how to bring RU players into the fold. I say give GT a go. It will be a media coup, too.

Witt played RL before that

I'd like to see these SL players that are going to smash Thomas, even at 36, to death. I really would.

He might not be a rampaging success but he wouldn't look out of place either.

I think he will be ok but he will have to play second row or something like that. He has never been quick at any stage of his career so i cant see him playing full back or centre. Could play wing though i suppose. It will be fascinating to see how he goes if he does indeed come over to RL.

This could be very good for young Welsh players if he were to play for Wales in the Euro cup, he would bring such a wealth of international experience (even if it's union) and show the young guns what it's all about!

Good publicity as well. It's almost a shame about his age, then again i'm not 36 so i don't know how hard it is to be that age and learn a new game!

We regard union as semi-retirement for older RL players with dodgy knees. If the rumours are true this guy's making a much harder career choice.

He was rightly admired for coming out. I hope he makes it in RL.

He's about 6'4 and 16-17st. Not quite as quick as he once was, but plenty fast enough. 36 or no he is a far better Union player than Jonathan Davies was (and twice as big) and HE didn't struggle too much with TGG as I recall.PLENTY of Welsh Union players did fine in League.

Remember, in Wales Union is a working man's game. This isn't the same as some rugger bugger toff "giving it a go". This is one of Welsh Union's most decorated players bringing TGG to a country that hasn't yet accepted its superiority over the other code.

It WILL make the South take note. Expect a flurry of brand new trolls. Many Union dinosaurs REALLY hate things that take the press away from Union. But once it settles, the WC will get a lot of press out of this.

And if it opens the floodgates down South, to the Scorps' benefit, you'll see that mostly Welsh RL team climbing the leagues before you know it.

Good on him - hope he signs, enjoys himself, does himself proud and bigs up RL in the media.

Don't really see any downside, there are some awful wingers in SL so I'm sure he'll be just fine.

It took Jiffy Davies 18 months to properly get to grips with Rugby League and about the same again before he was at his best in the code.

So if Thomas follows the same path then he'll be pushing 40 by the time we see the best of him.

I also think there were more hiding places in RL 20 years ago whereas now the game plans are much more structured and so individual weakness/inexperience tends to be exposed.

Good luck to him but, as I implied earlier, I think opposition coaches will be relishing the thought of his name on the Crusaders' teamsheet.
