[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg

Great PR move, good player with lots of skills to teach the academy, marquee signing, could pave the way to other WRU players crossing the line.
Won't set the world alight as past his prime, though he may make a decent backrow forward if he bulks up.

Too old at 36, Henson would be a better PR signing, the RFU will laugh Thomas off as being too old.

Is that bottom of the league and a disappointing year last Bradford Bulls Menzies?

Yeah, he's setting the world alight.

'Alfie' Thomas is Wales most capped player with 100 appearances, ninth in the all-time international tryscoring list, A British and Irish Lion and a great RUGBY player.

He is almost 36 but if he did come to the Crusaders (which I doubt personally) he would be a big hit.

Rugby League and Rugby Union aren't that different really are they?! No line outs, 2 players less and only 4 points for a try are the fundamental differences. The ball is the same shape and the idea in both codes is to score tries.

I personally like both codes (and have played both) but you one eyed blinkered League fans (and I know that doesnt include everyone on this board) should realise there is more to Union than just kicking the ball into the crowd

I suppose you could say Rugby League is just kick, Tackle, Tackle, Tackle, Tackle, Tackle, Tackle, kick if you wanted to be really pedantic about it.

Its unlikely Alfie will come to the Crusaders, same as it was always unlikely Gavin Henson would. But if he did I would wholeheartedly support him and I reckon he would be great for the club.

Maybe if the club had remained in South Wales, but not now.

And for my money Alfie was a far better player than Henson ever was

If i wanted to be really pedantic i would say rugby league was just kick, Tackle, Tackle, Tackle, Tackle, Tackle, kick, but im not being...

Moving on i think Gareth Thomas would do everything the Crusaders need their team to do off the field: raise the club profile across a Rugby loving country and thus encourage people of all ages to attend games to play the sport.

Whether he can go on the field, i havent a clue. but given some of the dross thats played in super league over recent years i dont see why not

Sure, but if he signs, then maybe Henson will next year. Then maybe the year after that Powell, then maybe the floodgates will open...

Not on the money SL pays they wont.
Stick to developing juniors rather than worrying about paying over the hill union boys a fortune.
Still, a marquee player would be nice
