Come off it, Sal. You might fool a few on here, but.....
As I said, Hodgson will be 35. He doesn't need to switch codes
Thomas is a totally different case. Crusaders needed a marquee signing. Thomas (from what little I know of the 3 point code) had acheived virtually all that was capable to him. He had nothing to prove. He'd just come out of the closet, and (if you excuse the expression) wanted to keep his head down. He obviously wanted to stay in sport, but not get the attention. What better for him to do, than join a club with little support, in a sport that gets scant day-to-day coverage in the national media.
Again, some people are getting their knickers in a twist over speculation from the media.
If 10-20 top class RL players defect to the 3 point code in a season or two, then I might worry. Until then...well, we've got a big game tomorrow, haven't we.
