| Quote JEAN CAPDOUZE="JEAN CAPDOUZE"Especially true if he goes to a club which doesn't yet have an Englishman. You would have UK fans watching Souths (Burgess brothers), Canterbury (Graham), Melbourne (Widdop), Parramatta (Hock and Mossop), perhaps Brisbane (Reed), plus Tomkins'"
Scott Moore at the Cowboys aswell.

| Quote Bondi_Warrior="Bondi_Warrior"He doesn't have to live in Western Sydney to play for Parra. He probably would pick a Sydney team though, as others have said, more fellow English players and Sydney is great City, depends whats he is after though.
Wouldn't mind seeing him at the Roosters, Mini isn't going to be there forever.'"
You obviously aren't a very serious Roosters fan. It has been made perfectly clear that when Mini's contract is up at the end of this year, he will be replaced at full back by Roger Tuivasa-Sheck. The young Kiwi is a very talented full back and the Roosters coach seems very happy with him playing out of position on the wing (and forgiven him for being out of position in defence for a couple of games), because the club has decided that Roger will be Mini's heir, and they want to groom him with first grade experience.
Plus the club is at the top of its salary cap now and will continue to be so if Sonny Bill stays. There is no money for Tomkins.
So the Roosters have no interest in Tomkins, as CEO Canavan has already stated.

I live at Noth Avoca next to Terrigal, it's paradise.
On Tomkins, I recon maybe the Tigers?

All I said was I wouldn't mind seeing him at Roosters, and then im accused of not being a very serious fan. What a tool you are. So I cant say that 'I wouldn't mind Tomkins at the Roosters'??? So why is that then, because like many other Roosters fans, I pay my season membership money and turn up every week, so why can't I say that I wouldn't mind a certain player there. Hate to tell but plans change especially when players become available and others don't progress as you would like. Do you really think SBW will be here next year? How exactly do you know that they or any other NRL club dont have an interest in him. Because of a news report or quote? Your an idiot if you believe everything you here. I have no idea if they would be interested in him, just like you dont, CEO's have a habit of denying all sorts of things.

| Quote sgtwilko="sgtwilko"You sound like someone who has never been, let alone live there. Ashfield, Balmain, Quakers Hills? That's just a few nice places. The to put the west of Sydney all in the same column is a massive generalization.'"
I lived in Sydney for 2.5 years, just near balmain in a lovely suburb called Abbotsford, those suburbs are in the Inner West which is entirely different to the greater west.
I also wouldn't class Ashfield as a 'nice' suburb I looked at a house there it was a right dump as was the surrounding area

You need to be able to look after yourself out there or the Doony Boys will get you

According to your little badge on the left you have never left Sydney.
Balmain is a yuppie trendy area with metro sexuals and perfect little professional couples isn't it?

'"
I've definitely left Australia, great place for a holiday, wouldn't want to live there again - well maybe when I retire.
Balmain is vet yuppie territory, With yuppie prices (great little village though) Abbotsford is more of a quiet family suburb but still with yuppie prices!
Probably one of the few things I miss about Aus is living in Abbotsford, lovely area.
Now Bankstown and Blacktown .....

The nicest suburbs in Sydney are not the oceanside suburbs you mention, such as the massively overbuilt and overcrowded Bondi, but rather the harbourside suburbs of the east and lower north. There are few places in the world as lovely as the water view parts of Vaucluse, Darling Point and Elizabeth Bay in the eastern suburbs, and Mosman, Cremorne, Neutral Bay and Milson's Point in the lower northern suburbs. However rugby league players seem to never aspire to live there, prefering instead the ocean side suburbs, where they can surf, like Coogee, where I believe the Burgess brothers live, as did Adrian Morley before them.

| The nicest Suburbs in my opinion are Balmoral Beach at middle Harbour or any of the Beaches north of Mona Vale, with Whale, Avalon and Palm Beach right up there.
