I heard last week that McGuire had already made an approach from Souths. If he's going anywhere, the Russell Crowe factor will decide it.

If Cherry Evans could play for England, are we sure he'd occupy any quota space?

If he couldn't get a uk passport he would, he'd be non fed anyway.

His agent said he deserves and will be looking for a bigger deal than Sandow and then quoted his $550,000.

Who is the high profile English player from 'this side of the Pennines' that has agreed a move to the NRL according to Twitter? I've seen a few references to it and they say it's not Roby. I can't think of anyone high profile on this side?

It seems Cherry-Evans might be staying at Manly anyway after they offered him a Wigan-esque incremental contract.

Who on twitter said it?

Given the money the NRL is throwing about SL clubs will be struggling to attract Tier B players.

The only people we're likely to sign are those at the end of their careers seeking extended two, three or four season contracts NRL clubs will refuse to offer.

He'd be other Federation Trained so we would still have no room for him on the quota/overseas trained spaces

If that is the full quote (there is no location given) then it is Tom Briscoe.
