Offiah is touting him towards Union when he's 25. Until then he'll be with Saints. It is up to Saints to keep him in RL as at present the only person talking about Union is Offiah.
Perhaps a change of agent rather than a change of code would be more appropriate.

Offiah hasn't sent anyone to Union yet. Clarke and Howes have.

Valid point.

Clarke had to cheek to complain about us losing Ashton as well.

Yet, being the word Rouges.
Not for the want of trying from Offiah as he says he's already spoken to Jason Robinson.

His career and income depends on his ability to get the best deal for his clients, and if he can build a reputation as a good agent, he'll get more clients. Let's not forget that to him and the players their career is short, and they need to earn money whilst working. As much as we, as fans, want the best players in RL, we can't begrudge a player chasing the cash, when we would probably do the same in our own walks of life.

According to Offiah on Sky towards the end of the season, Michael Worrincy is already THE best back rower in SL

I agree, but it's inevitable that RL folk will resent it when someone like Offiah - who owes everything he has to RL - starts looking to send RL players to RU.

Sure, it's all about money. But British RL can ill-afford to lose any more players, particularly from its star ranks, which are threadbare as it is. People like Offiah and Andy Clarke expect us to understand that they must get the best deal possible for their clients. In turn, they must understand why we hate them for deliberately weakening our game.

Michael Worrincy is officially the most mentioned sportsman on Sky Sports News for 2009 so far

David Beckham is lagging 2,537 mentions behind and Wayne Rooney is 1,450 behind. Tiger Woods is making a late charge but is still a whopping 5,550 behind.

Surely Henry must be up there
