Considering he's on contract we'll expect a decent transfer fee then.

Cant think of the last time an nrl club payed for a aus/nz player from sl so you might not be so lucky , contract or not.
He can play the home sick card , we didnt get zip for mckinnon and he was on contract but time will tell I suppose

Shall we have a wager on it?

Just show a proof of payment on the site.

Put up or shut up.

Believe it or not, but he actually turned down a bigger money offer to stay in the NRL in Australia before opting to play in the super league with Rovers, it was quite well documented at the time.

Where exactly..?? Can you provide some substance to this made up assertion.??

He was actually released from the last year of his North Queensland contract to join Rovers after the Cowboys had farmed him out to country rugby and had no offers in the NRL..

Think the fact that he is now immediately chasing the bucks after a few good games against inferior opposition tells us everything...

More to the point why do apparently sane people think that a RL player would turn down an offer of more money to play in the best competition in the sport in a great country with fabulous weather , with a massive profile and associated benefits to come and play here..??? They come for more money than they can still get at home and no other reason...

can you provide the information that hes chasing the bucks because apart from speculation on forums nothing has actually been said

GS Sport management can tell you more than me...

Gareth Ellis being the exception? Because, correct me if I'm wrong, he had much better offers in both England and Austalia but chose FC.

Whoever told you that was, again, making it up.....

For someone who knows nothing you say a lot

Unfortunately i dont have the article to hand but i can assure you, it is not a made up assertion, i leave those to people like yourself.
It was in Australia at the time and in a sports column where it was written along the lines off, certain things had made him realize that money was not always the most important factor in life.
I believe he was refering to some of the personal issues that he'd had to contend with which had effected him on and off the field and his faith which had helped him come through it.

So what about those white seats eh...?

Bollox, he is here because FC are paying him a boat load of cash, which isn't a problem if they think he's worth it.

Nah, he took a pay cut to play for them, top club innit?

lets talk about the seats
