Not the same thing. Money aside, Rooney left Everton because he knew he would never win anything at Everton. He left for a rival team, can't see Rhys doing the same, even if you include the finacial aspect.

Simon Moran said today "we dont let people go anymore that we want to keep"

Nick fozzard was a long time ago wasnt it....which player can we imagine losing to Saints, leeds or Wigan now...?

in previous years they'd have put big contracts in front of the likes of Ben Harrison and Ben Westwood to name just a couple...

whats the option..... play in poorly coached teams in mid table or play wrestle mania for the most boring anti-Rugby playing team in the world....."I'll take whatever your offering Tony"

hells bells, more doom mongering
The only person who knows where Rhys will end up, is Rhys himself, yet posters on here are making his mind up for him.
Strewth, he's only played 5 first team games and some people are thinking he's a shoe in for MoS, International player of the year, and a Nobel prize. Let him develop as a Wire player. I'm sure IF his potential is proved, Mr Moran will have him contracted for a long period. Any subsequent move (IF it ever happens) to the 3 point code/NRL will envolve a very hefty tranfer fee. Life will go on.

You never know, Evans may just like playing for us. He may have this thing called loyalty. It has happened before

Going back to previous posts, Fozzard stuck out like a sore thumb in 03. A forward pack without much grunt, and a side going nowwhere....Fozzard stands out. Stains were in their pomp, and needed a go forward prop, so they got him.

Sydney it is then.

Ben is only here because of Rhys

Flamin Charlene, ya got me there cobber.

...and on what authority do you have this "gem"
Ben might be at the club because of his rugby ability
We are running a Rugby League club, not a pals/brothers club. There's not enough room to be giving up places at clubs for talented youngsters relatives

Barcelona?

Agree with it all except that.

Can;t afford to have loyalty in this game. Especially when you are as good as Rhys is. I know it is early days but for raw talent he is unsurpassed. He can be making SMW money, i reckon, by the time he is 25. He won't be getting that at Wire.

Because if we didn't take Ben, we couldn't take Rhys

utter rubbish.

You've obviously never seen Ben play if you can come out with rubbish like that.

ben is a great forward, and will only get better. hes obviously one of the best young english forwards as he was chosen to play for england u20's in the summer, or did rhys swing that for him as well.

having seen both of the boys numerous times over 2 or so years at burtonwood i can tell you ben is a very good rugby player, and rhys often looks so good off of the back of ben's hard work.

So please dont talk shiiiiittttttake mushrooms.

In about 5 posts you have managed to go from will he go, to im sure hell go and im annoyed about it.

For flip's sake, just let the lad play out a season of rugby before you start speculating where hell be going next. He's had a great first few games, but might end up like kevin penny and then let's see how stupid you would look by claiming rugby union will be offering silly money in a few years.

HES OURS AND HES GOING NOWHERE FOR A WHILE: SO BE HAPPY!

this thread is insane lol

People really need to get a grip. He's only just broke into our side, yet people already feel he's got a multi-million pound contract in Union waiting for him when he turns 21. Let him get on with his rugby and let him develop, enjoy his performances and stop stirring the future.
