Poor man's Jermaine McGillivray.

That said, Danny Williams did alright when he went from the Rhinos to Newcastle Falcons, so Brown might make a career for himself.

Regarding the number of foreign players that union teams are allowed mate,is it unlimited.

Re: If you must discuss Union, do it here II : Sat Jul 23, 2011 2:16 pm  

It used to be a maximum of two foreign players on the pitch at any one time, at all periods during the season.

Thanks cj Listened on the radio and sounded like an absolute cracker. Will be home for the semis so will ask someone to pick me up a ticket as soon as they go on sale. If we do lift the cup this year we'll have done it the hard way. South African lock picked by South African coach in Italian RUWC squad.

I haven't seen too much of him to be honest Peter. Saw him play last year in an academy game and he impresssed. I have heard that he's a better prospect than Sam and Joel were at his age, which as a Wigan and England fan is brilliant.
