That would probably the best option for him financially. Three years, hopefully doing well, in the NRL would mean he could return home for a real bumper deal to finish his career on.

Robes has also said he wants to go there and has only 12 months left on his contract.
We will miss him more than Jammer IMO.
This is all very depressing especially as Tomkins's both say they have no interest in going over there.
New Stadium opens to fanfare and our two best and perhaps our only world class players clear off to Oz. Will Gingerbread Kyle be off somewhere as well?

I hope Sizzler gets a grip of all this and quickly.

We could always sign Joel Monaghan, but we'd have to keep our mascot on a leash! http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/monaghan-future-hinges-on-board-meeting-20101108-17kjn.html Apparently "While Monaghan had reportedly said he would quit the NRL to save the Raiders further embarrassment to chase a deal in the UK Super League, Banaghan (his manager)said there was ''no English offer on the table''. Canberra co-captain Alan Tongue admitted a stint in the UK might be the best option for Monaghan

Really? Then why do they want to nick ours?

Ellis and Burgess didn't look any different at the weekend given their 'higher technical standard'! Graham looked superior to both of them.

You can not be serious?

Graham should never of been made captain....simple!

Burgess should of got the honour, or even Ellis ahead of Graham.

Our two current NRL "stars" haven't looked any better than the rest of the team. I think this theory of the superiority of NRL is now discredited.
How come we win most of the WCC games?I think our top 4 would compete well with most NRL teams.

Where we go wrong all the time is a lack in strength in depth, a complete lack of team and individuals confidence, having to play to the Aussie's interpretation, Aussie dubious refereeing and the Aussie's style of play and (currently) by employing our worst SL coach (just before he was actually sacked) as England coach (our only decent coach in recent years was Smith).
What next? Promote Bobby Goulding?

Half of the SL teams players are from OZ, Kiwis, Samoa + Paddy Richards type overseas origin, what is a bigger problem from Englands point of view, nearly all the key playmakers are not English.
