Quote middleman="middleman"Those days are well gone , looking at Wigan & Hull's attempts ) Powell - Biggs , our cross code signing last year Jordan Davies is now back playing for Rotherham RU., Problem is - If they're good enough to make an impact in SL , they'll always be able to earn more in Rah rah and prolong their career being put out pasture in French club Rugby or Japan.'"
Agreed, long gone are the days our clubs could throw a couple of hundred grand at a rugby union international back like, Jonathon Davies, Scott Gibbs or Alan Tait etc.
To be honest since SL went full time I would doubt many home nation union internationals would have anywhere near the impact they used to have. I think if you were looking for any kind of impact now you would have to be signing the very best union backs in Australasia or South Africa on a minimum million pound plus contract.
