agreed, 4got about that man....but how long will it be before he's coming back do u think?? my statement was that hardly any english players that have ventured overseas have done any good....

I agree with you here. For every Burgess and Ellis there is a Thorman and Mathers. Only our elite players stand a chance of succeeding in the NRL.

If players apply themselves and have the right attitude i think there's at least 20 British players that could make it. Only Sean Long as a half in the last 10 years but i think players like - Sinfield, Roby, Peacock, Abblett, Tickle, Houghton, T.Briscoe, Fox, Westerman, Eastmond(potentially), S. Tomkins(potentially), Senior, Graham, LMS(potentially), J. Tomkins(potentially), O'Loughlin, Carvell, Gardner. All could have or still could.
Then you've got Morley, Jackson, Ellis, Burgess, Flannaghan and Widdop (he's played for England, i'm having him) who have or are cutting the mustard over there.
Now, in no way do i mean any of these players would get a gig at a top team as a starter, but they would all get contracts. When you look at Tandy, Crossman and Fitzhenry going back and getting deals i don't see any of the above having a problem.

I beg to differ with Senior. Watching him play for Leeds I wish we had him at Salford, for England/GB it's a different story. Personally I'd say he's not quick enough and the NRL defences wouldn't give him the same amount of space to move.

An interesting week of announcements/signings ahead ?? or just interesting ??

September 1st on Wednesday so there may be some announcements.

Will be checking my Inbox first thing that morning

But surely anyone signed already has been done so with his clubs consent so we could announce it before then ??

Agree with you there the player concerned would have at least been released by their club. Its all still up in the air IMHO.

Still no decision on Radders/Dowes, depends on other targets I reckon. There has been no interest in Chase.

Both gone mate.

To Bradford and Rovers respectively or any suprised to where they have gone?

Any news on Craig Hall's next club? Last I heard he was more likely to end up at Cas.
