If he improves there as Greg Eden did then great for GB/England a shame for wire & super league.

Further proof that Super League has become a mere feeder league for the NRL.

It is only proof that the NRL has a lot more money & is not competing with other sports for players TV coverage. When our economy picks up & Aus goes into recession the top players will come over here as before.

Wishful thinking.

You never know, they're only twenty six years recession free!

Good luck to the lad, his performances seem to have plateaued in the last couple of years over here.

Massive bags of potential but just doesnt seem to be kicking on. Rumours from every club hes been at that he was a bit of a shirker and a chip on his shoulder. Maybe Brisbane will sort him out.

back by June next year, when they realise he can't/won't tackle.

Back that late? I would have thought April more likely at the latest.

Hats off to him for having the guts to try and make it in the NRL. He's giving up a regular first team spot in Super League to be a fringe player and try and break into the team at Brisbane.

I think we may all have moved to another world by then.
Dont know about Aus but, our economy is screwed.

Just for interest, have you checked out the difference in sponsorship between the NRL and SL

NRL $1.8 billion
SL £90 million

THeir deal is roughly 10 times as big as ours and that's before all of the add ons and other major sponsors.

I'm looking forward to the "brain drain" reversing though.

He has a big time charlie attitude, he'll get minced in the NRL and come crying back to the UK in no time.
