Likely story ladies. Do you always have to pass the laptop about when wanting to look at the internet and only have one laptop between you?

It is not a choice between having an academy/buying a top class existing rugby league player or Powell. I know there is an academy in place, I've seen their sides play on a few occasions. There are run of the mill acadamies, good academies and excellent academies. My point was the money could be used to make the academy a lot better and more professional than it currently is.

We all know that you would prefer to spend money on a union convert than invest it in youth or a top class existing league player. I feel the opposite. Can we leave it now as you , whichever one you're logged in as now, are boring me.

To be fair if the introduction to rugby league of Gareth Thomas hasn't achieved this then I can't see Andy '14 Wales caps' Powell doing it to be honest. Thomas played 100 or so games for Wales and is recognised by all in Wales even those outside of the game. A lot less than can be said for Powell.

The same amount of money will be spent on the academy regardless as to whether powell is signed or not www.superleague.co.uk/article.php?id=17917
