Much as I'd like to see him in our game (for the PR if nothing else). I can't see it happening, I reckon his agent has just put this story out to give him some leverage when attempting to get more money from RU.

If the French RU lot don't want him, he may well end up at Celtic Crusaders. The WRU is on it's butt financially (alledgedly)

Black Backgrounds/Zoot.gif Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

| Don't know about his ability to change codes, but there have been a couple of drink related incidents that perhaps CC should think about before signing him.

He is probably trying to get more money out of the RFU or the Sun are printing a load of rubbish for a change.

| Would be great for CC, but don't believe it. Just linking him to the CC is good for them, like Lomu showing up to the NZW dressing room.

well the sun will report that micheal jackson is dead so im assuming you wont believe that either. The sun is a turd paper but that doesnt automatically mean that everything they print is untrue. werent they first to report dwayne chambers trialling for castleford? who believed that then. the fact is that we dont know but we do know that he has caught quite a few crusaders games and seems to be a genuine fan of the sport. but then the players have always been more open minded and less childish then some hard core fans of both sports.

oh good grief. firstly what has the rfu got to do with it? i think you mean the wru. secondly try going to your boss demanding a wage rise or you'll go and wortk for macdonalds. see how far that goes. threatening france or the guiness premiership might be a tactic but going to league from a financial point of view would be a very bad one. henson is one of the few players whou i would suspect of genuinely not giving that much thought to earning a few grand more when he could off someone instead.
still overall i think this is a publicity stunt by someone, maybe with hensons permission, in order to garner publicity for rugby league in wales. i hope noone has got a problem with that.

| IMO this potential signing may reflect the recruitment of David Beckham by Real Madrid
The purposes for his capture was predominantly off field with merchandise sales etc expected to more then make up for the initial transfer fee and salary. Any decent performances on field were a bonus.
If this is genuine and not just the agent doing his job then I see the potential Henson capture in a similar vein all be it on a smaller scale. It would make the CC known in pretty much all of Wales and also entice curious unionites down to the Brewery Field who may like what they see.

Must be years since I've bought a copy of the Sun flower.
Go and have a lie down before you pop a vein.

RFU WRU, tomate-o tomart-o
Your McDonalds camparison is poor, unless you are comparing playing for Celtic to flipping burgers . The difference between skilled workers and unskilled workers is significant in this respect. Skilled workers can ask for money because they are in demand. NRL player agents, for example, link their clients with ESL team to scare their current clubs.
I doubt Celtic would want him for his playing skills. Like you said it is a publicity stunt. Celtic would be better of saying they don't want him and he is not good enough. Now that would be a good publicity stunt for Welsh Rugby League.
