Cynically I would bet that the RFL would chose after the signing whether they would honour he ban for the NRL.

Personally if the NRL issue a ban then it stays in that competition. Any ban issued should only apply over here if the misdemeanour was relating to an International game or competition.

The insiders on the Saints side reckon he's chosen to sign for you guys. Sounds to me like he's just been bouncing between two or three clubs to extract that extra bit of dollar.

Can't blame him for that. It's not like he has any affinity to any club.

People on redvee and PMs on here and Twitter. The usual suspects who seem to know signings before they are announced. Probably all getting their info from the same places and entirely unverifiable.

Current English International, still under contract.

I would estimate a transfer fee of £200k, would be required.

That`s if SJM was prepared to sell, which is very doubtful.

Or a player exchange with Walmsley & Percival coming to Wire?......Thats the prop & centre signings that have been debated on here.
