Welsh club sign a very prominent 35 year old former Welsh RU international. Publicity stunt in an attempt to get more bums on seats and, maybe more importantly, make the Crusaders a more attractive proposition to younger top level Welsh kick and chasers.

It's a publicity stunt but a good one.

If it raises the game in Wales it's worthwhile.

Unfortunately I tend to agree.
I've no doubt that at 25 he'd do well but 35?
Next it could be 'bring back Allan Bateman'? (a superb player but now in his 40's)

Quote: wireontour "Agreed, just look at Rauhihi for example, 36 when he retired and still hadn't got the hang of it.
He was alright at picking it up after he'd dropped it. Then again he did get plenty of practice.

It's a win-win for the game of RL.

If he fails, he's a RU legend who can't hack it in RL.
If he succeeds - and I hope he does - he'll be a massive draw for the Crusaders and a real Welsh icon for the fans to latch onto.

Anything that gets people talking about RL is a great thing.

There is no reason why Alfie Thomas should fail.

The 2 games aren't as different as all the 'flatcappers' would have you believe.

A great signing for the club IMO

I still rankle when I think of him. One good game against Leeds at home ages ago then nothing but average to abject dog faeces the rest of the time. He spilled more balls than Jenna Jameson*. To think of how much we put in his pension fund over the years. A classic bloody Cullen signing. The house even made youtube videos of how to get ed/pour pints whilst on Warrington's dime and the crowd chanted his name like he was Boyd. For shame.


*Google her.

Will be a good move for both Thomas & Crusaders. I think he'll adapt a lot more easily than many seem to think - he'll be a more than useful centre or winger who will score and finish a fair few moves. He hasn't the skill base of a Jonathon Davies, nor the technical issues in the pack of a Scott Quinnell so in reality hasn't that much to learn - get ball, run, score try; shimples.
