Have Catalans not got a spare place in their squad?

I've just thought that if any team can find some way of getting him, Cameron Smith is the kind of player who could make the difference and win you the Grand Final.

I think you’ll find that betting has more to do with the outcome of a super league grand final these days than a talented play. Hence why Lee Smith was awarded that try!

You're right, thats why London Skolars win it every year.

Warrington are getting them all, don't you know!

Hope so.

They'll stay in the NRL but be heading fer other clubs imo. Expect Cowboys (If Thurston doesn't resign), Broncos (if Folau jumps ship), Manly (If Stewart goes down) to all make moves for the big names. Finch was on his way after this year anyway and may end up in SL. Would love to see Blair go to the NZ Warriors. Only Inglis or Slater would be wanted by RU I'd say.

I'd be astounded if a number of French rugby union clubs haven't been on the phone to the Storm management already. They don't have a salary cap to worry about and the likes of Toulon and Stade Francais have plenty of cash behind them.

I can't see the likes of Slater, Inglis and co heading to Super League. Aside from the strength that their names have in Australia, no club can bring them in under the cap this year and I doubt they will next year either without major cuts elsewhere. If it turns out that criminal charges emerge from this as well, the chances of those players involved being admitted to the UK are probably slim given past examples. The question then is whether they can be encouraged to cut their earnings and remain in the NRL - and I'm not sure that they all will.

Could any of them get ahead of Bell at the Catalans? ... We'd also take a FB, all ours are broken!

As long as we don't lose them to the dark side, i'm not bothered who they join.

If they do leave RL fair play to them, it's not like they won't be replaced soon enough. Inglis is too fat anyway, he'll be terrible by the time he hits 25.

How much were they over the cap? Why would they have to get rid of all of them?
