Quote Paul Youane="Paul Youane"No but having seen Hickey in action (term used loosely) for Wakefield's u20s last month then this indicates that an Aussie accent together with any kind of NRL record will get you a contract ahead of a multitude of English lads who would provide a damn sight better return for the salary expenditure.
Remember this is the Hickey who could not even provide a dent on the Wakefield first team last season when offered a short term contract as a career lifeline - how Harlequins can consider he has earnt another shot is beyond me. It suggests that Harlequins have done no "due dilligence" on the player whatsoever. They would be much better served looking at the likes of Peasnell and Broughton from our u20s.'"
And would our U20s want to move down and relocate to London?
That's the problem they have always had.
To be honest we are wasting our time with RL in the capital but of course some do gooder will come on telling me how much good work is being done in the community and how every kid in Brixton is playing RL.
