http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,25200550-23214,00.html With rugby union sniffing around him, could we afford him? The deal he's turned down i think is around £200,000 a year (i could be wrong) He would be the type of signing i think we'd all want but is he worth it and i guess would he come?

Well he'd be an improvement on what we've got, but tbh it's the halves were we need the improvement the most

he can play stand off though can't he?

But tbh he probably won't get a visa as he's another one with an alligation over him and so good old uk board control will shoot that one down.

but he's a player that would improve our squad, so he's unlikely one of McNamara's transfer targets. but reading the article it doesn't look like it's a money issue with him signing. more a change of scenery

I'd be amazed if we signed him, but if he's got some off field troubles and and some form then it doesn't look good anyway.

I think he played stand off for queensland last year. Put some ferocious hits in but not necessarily the biggest qualification for the position

It was the game they lost though
