I honestly think we can forget McDonnell, I don't know whether it is because we don't particularly rate him or perhaps he has made it clear to both Clubs that his intention is a return to Aus. all the vibes are wrong we would have got no comments or "we don't comment on rumours" from Bomber and Co, rather than brusk denials from both Clubs. By doing that they burn their boats. On this occassion I think that Humberside got it wrong, everyone make mistakes, although you would think G would know, but it certainly got people talking, if thats what they wanted however it seems to have wound a few up at our Club too. I could be proved wrong and just my thoughts of course, but I am pretty sure that he isn't staying at Rovers either.
If McDonnell goes back to Aus I think there's only a handful of clubs where he'd stand a decent chance of getting in at fullback. If that's his preferred position he may be better off staying in SL. There's a massive gulf between the quality available in the position in the 2 competitions IMO, even more so than the general NRL v SL difference.
