wonder if she will like her new boss

Scrawl all the negatives you like, the fact is we have watched him improve for us with every game, he has taken to SL quite well and is big, strong and skillful and I reckon he will only get better. At 20 yrs old he has got to be worth a contract and I would not bet against him becoming a top SL second rower with time.

Disagree with that, very impressed with him when i've seen him

well if being the third best centre and harlequins impresses you then no wonder your impressd by lovegrove

not scrawling for anything, if he is good enough to bend the rules for, he would be good enough for saint george, he may get to be a first grade player, he may be a game in game out player for you, but he will never play for Aus, he will never play for GB, he isnt going to be MoS and isnt worth the exception, and is exactly the type of player the RFL should be looking to discourage clubs from bringing over

One thing I'm not impressed with is your shoddy grammar!

Great post. The new rules are there to rid us of the average foreigners that have plagued SL for too long now and any team trying to get around the rules should be treat with contempt. If he's that good why isn't justine including him on the quota?

exactly

Morgan obviously sees the prospect of him being "that good", and more than a few Rovers fans see the same potential.

That's OK then. Lets change the rules

I knew I recognised you from some where!

If our friend Smokey would have done his homework he would know that St George-Illawarra Dragons actually chose not to run a Jersey Flegg (U-20's) team this season which left Rhys out of match practice.

This was the reason he became available and HKR were quick enough to snap him up thanks to his good friend Mark Lennon who has known him since Rhys was 8 years old.

Often players don't make the first grade until they turn 22/23 unless they are very special. Some clubs blood youth quicker than others but most will develop and nurture their youth until ready to play NRL.

This is due to the strength in depth, the Premier League Reserve grade teams play to a high standard and often talent goes unnoticed.

Jonathan Thurston was spotted playing in the Aboriginal Knockout competition which is played every single year at various venues in Australia. The calibre of player is outstanding and often Aboriginal players will refuse to leave their families and friends in pursuit of a footy career.
Other players to have been spotted playing in the Knockout are Denis Moran, Dean Widders, Matt Sing etc.

The point of the story is, just because Rhys isn't playing first grade NRL at 20 doesn't mean he won't develop into an International by the time he returns to Australia. Watch out next season, ignore him at your peril!
