apparently he has signed for Gold Coast Titans, according to wigan board. Good luck to him, didnt think he'd get a move to nrl for a few years, if ever

Is it such earth-shattering news when you consider that Tansey and Thorman both had gigs in the NRL

Good luck to him. Looked a good prospect, if not the finished article

Definitely not the finished article. Still plenty of flaws in his game as a full back, especially his confidence under the high ball.

Has bags of potential though, and could be a star. I hope he comes on well in the NRL. England need some depth and challenge for places.

Yeah he wasn't great defensively but I thought he had enormous potential, especially with ball in hand. This looks like a great move for him and possibly for England. Good luck to the boy.

Not a great move if you're a Titans fan though.

Tansey - would say no, was a great player when he was in form, was gutted when he let but understandable why

Thorman - Yes.... definitely

Why? It's not like he'll be on the first team squad.

Yeah, because Zillman's been outstanding.

One of the few NRL fullbacks who isn't any better than most we have in SL IMO.

A specialist FB was needed when Campbell retired. As you say, Zillman would struggle to get a game at half our Clubs. But tbf, he's a half (not a good one mind) converted IMO.

Completely off topic but just realised Nathan Blacklock is Greg Inglis' cousin. Good basis for a rumour in a few years I reckon.

We seem to suffer in this country from thinking that every single NRL player is a superstar, when they do in fact have average/poor players plying their trade as well.

Is he? On the same side as Beau Champion as well by any chance?

Always said the same.

What sets it apart is the top 10% of their players are superior to our best players, your Slaters, Smiths & Marshalls etc..

Not sure, but you can see the resemblance now! Preston Campbell is a cousin also, that's how I came across it.
