Being naked next to a dog is an experience not wholly unfamiliar to him. Refer to my previous post for why.

Dont understimate how good Henson could be, he comes over as arrogant...'"


Don't really agree with that, to be honest. GOing off his interview performances on Strictly Come Dancing he just comes across that incredibly thick and devoid of any personality whatsoever.

He's one of those who evidently got a load of attention and got bulled up by everyone when he was a lad, purely because of what he looks like. Because of this, he's believed his own hype, and thinks he's owed what everyone said he was going to be, and because of this, he's not bothered to develop a personality or any form of intelligence whatsoever.

Think a male version of Jessica Simpson, and you're not far off.

I can't believe you people!

Henson is exactly the type of person who could bring a bit of showbiz razzamataz to your frankly uninspiring area, and allow you to maybe move away from your "hicks in the sticks" tag.

Fake tan and gelled hair? The local ladies would love him! Let's face it, that's got to be a better option than the pasty faced, bad hair day that they usually get to see in the town centre on a Saturday night.

And when Tomkins junior departs downunder, you'll be needing someone that the rest of SL can take the p1ss out off.....and Gavin is tailor made for that role!

Defo a win/win situation. A coachload of gelled up orange tanned Wigooners arriving at Headingley brandishing their bog brushes would be a sight to behold!

I look forward to the day!

He did not just get bulled up becuase of his looks, he could play a bit and was instruemental in helping Wales win its 2005 grand slam win. Pity people are judging him on looks etc when they have not really seen him play as tbh how many on here actually watch union as most say they turn it off. He went down hill 3-4 seasons ago when he got injured and got bored. Sounds a familiar story.

For any side he will be a gamble but the latest i have heard he has been summoned to the WRU think his time in union is over. I can see him going to Widnes or Crusaders. This is not the only story recently of a union player been an idiot 2-3 others have happened maybe union is becoming football full of over paid idiots.

As for Hensen, he would be fair to average. He would do a job on a small salary but it isn't going to happen.

As a Crusaders fan and a Welsh union fan I would say don't go near him. We certainly don't want him at Cru. He was an instrumental player in our 2005 Grand Slam and he had great skills. However, with injury and personal life issues he's become a burden. He seems to be more interested in celebrity than rugby now and has a bad attitude full stop. He's a prima dona who would expect a huge salary. He showed such promise to be one of Welsh legends of union and he threw it away. Sad loss to rugby imo.
