On past evidence he won't even be allowed in the country.

A tim smith in the making

The club has worked so hard to build up a string culture and in the face of it the bloke would be too much of a risk. In saying that we took on Andy Powell and this guy is world class so you'd have to give it a second thought. I'm happy with what we've got but world class players don't become available every day.

I could see Hull throwing thousands at him anyway.

I wish, but I reckon we still couldn't afford him, he might not get a visa and I still think he will get a contract in Aus (be in NRL or RU).

Anyway it looks like we have signed Leon Pryce for next year, although I expect another half to be signed.

We own the RFL remember ! Doubt we'd let a small issue like sorting a visa stand in our way!

Visa's don't have anything to do with the RFL. He has been found guilty of drink driving. Later received a suspended sentence for drink driving, driving while suspended and failing to stop for police so he is highly unlikely to get a UK visa. Catalan are probably his only option in SL.

He's obviously a bit of an idiot but a top class player, if he could get a visa would be worth the risk for anyone.

I think he would go the way off Tim Smith. I think we should be better than taking cast offs from other clubs.

Surprised the Dr isnt interested

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Mon Jun 30, 2014 10:14 am  

He'd be the best player in SL since Jamie Lyon.
He could only sign for Catalans but what a signing he'd be for them.

Re: Todd Carney - replacement for Blake?? : Mon Jun 30, 2014 11:11 am  

He's already been refused a UK Visa when Huddersfield signed him.
His only hope in SL are Catalans Dragons.

He'd be favourite to come first in any p*ssing competition.
