Quote: sally cinnamon "Why does everybody assume that he will automatically go to the NRL? Has he said he wants to play in Australia? He's come through the Saints academy system and he's a scouser so why not stay at Saints all his career and get a benefit, plus win all the trophies he will get with Saints and become an all time legend like Cunningham.'"
He has already won every honour available to him in SL. Challenge Cup: Check, Grand Final: Check, League Leaders: Check, Man of Steel: Check, World Club Challenge: Check. Why not go and test himself against the best in the world and prove himself in the NRL. No one at Saints will think any of less of him if he goes, plus it's less of an assumption, it's more about the noises coming out of the club. He could very well sign for Saints, he hasn't signed a deal yet, but I reckon he might well do when he's over there during the Four Nations. Saints could do what they did with Cunningham and sign him up on another contract just hours before he is due to sign with an Nrl club, but I doubt it.
