Some take to it and some don't. He won't be the first or the last. Wasn't Thackery homesick in Hull and he was from just up the M62? |

Not too sure but he was in Hull for a long time and stuck it out! |

Matt James has a reputation for being full of himself. I would imagine the 3 substitute appearances were too much for his ego to take.

he happily "plebbed" it with lowly Halifax for a year so he can't be that much up his own 'arris. |

It is a worry for Quins, attracting decent talent down south.
I know of some of the players they were targetting in the off season, these were NL1/NL2 standard players but I know of a couple who still turned them down as they didn't want to move to London and share accomodation with 3/4 players they didn't know as of yet.

NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_9857.jpg |

I'm surprised more "Northerners" don't move down to play for Quins. 20 something and earning 100K+ in London would be a dream!

It's full of Southerners and Ockers like Barry MacKenzie. Make it £300k. |

Northern slags are far better than Southern slags! And the slags along the M62 corridor are best of all! |

Just out of curiosity, how many 20 year olds in SL do you think are on £100k+ salaries? |

He didnt include the "£". Probably thinking in terms of aussie dollars, although that might be optimistic. |

he did say "20 something" which would be the standard age for 90% of SL players.
based on the salary cap, the average earnings in SL are around £60k, but the point still stands....why do they find it hard to recruit talent from the North, or from the top international players who come over from Aus/NZ? |
