Hopefully this will be the case mate. Have a few good players in the ranks (Flynn, Craven etc)and these will only benefit from super leage rugby and training with top class players on a regular basis. From what SOC has been saying so far he does seem very eager to develop the current crop of youngsters we have.

I think its inevitable that we will sign a coupld of Aussies this summer, hopefully ones that can stay with us for years to come and not just here for the final year or so of their career.

You will sign 5 aussies and 2 that don't count on the quota (prediction only)

I can't see any top line Aussies coming over at the moment the rate of exchange of the pound over the Aus Dollar is too low to attract them, a couple of years ago when it was $2.5 A for £1 it meant they got a great payment but as it's only runnimng at about $1.5 A per £1 it's not attractive enough. I can see it going back to either youngsters or 'old timers out for a final big pay cheque' who can't get a contract in Aus.

i hear talk of jarrod crocker. hes what? 21-22? by no means the first name to be bandied about lately but i think he fits the bill.

20 mate. If he goes to your men he's straight in my fantasy team with his kicking and try scoring!
