I think he would be an excellent signing -
his displays in the recent world cup showed his class and ability
Bottom line though is that Richard Thewlis (it is reported) says there was no deal on the table despite reports in the Aussie press and quotes from his agent
Does that indicate that Nathan / Richard/ Ken dont see him as a useful addition to the squad - or bearing in mind recent reports -are his agents terms way above what we value him at at this stage of his career.
I think his agent is laying down his starting point - and its now down to any interested parties -( whether its us or not ) to present theirs
if and when a compromise is reached ( whoever that is with) will need a lot of hard bargaining it seems before its "acceptable" and both parties are happy.
As I said in the previous post - its how highly we rate him -(if at all we`re led to believe ) and how highly he rates himself at this stage of his career
but personally Id be delighted if a deal was struck.
