I don't think it is the same as backing the coach in all honesty.

Other players have looked at the NRL and have been quite honest while doing so, infact some have used it to get a better deal in sl.

I don't expect him to go which was my initial reaction when I was told about this a few weeks ago, but the press release doesn't mean anything until I see him in a hull shirt in 2012, anything is possible.

I thought if it was written in 'BLACK AND WHITE' it had to be true.

I agree, personally think he may be in the shirt next season, I doubt he will be the one after though.

It could also be a little bit of mischief created by his agent to get him a better (long term) deal.

He should have told Houghton!

Good luck to him, 100% every week, great scoot & defence - distribution needs a bit of work. Will go well and improve in NRL with better coaching.

Bottom line is the salary cap and exchange rate will make it much easier to poach english players.

Danny will probably go on double money, beach front apartment and be a squad/3rd choice. They can afford to 'take a punt' and put effort into his development.

He might make it big and never returrn or not succeed and come back. Lets face it every one on here would be gone like a shot.

Fearful similar approaches for Briscoe, maybe yeamo and Westerman in the next year also ?
