ESL Players Coming to Aus in 06

[The Whippet]

What ESL players are likely to find themselves in the NRL in 2006?

 

[Davester]

Brian Carney for sure

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

Although i couldn't see why any club would want to sign an injury prone 32 year old...

 

[ESL - Wire]

One of the players that was going to go was Evans for the Huddesfields Giants, he had offers from a few clubs but has extended with the Giants.

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

How's he going with Huddersfield anyway? and what about De Vere and Drew? havn't heard much of them

 

[Phillips]

De Vere is injured at the moment? i think

 

[Evil Homer]

Evans has been very good since he arrived.He is a good defender and scores a fair number of tries.

Drew has been carving up a bit from dummy half and is a very effective player.

De Vere has been solid enough and good in defence and attack without being too spectacular but has now broken his hand and will miss around 10 weeks.

 

[ESL - Wire]

Another player coming off contract and has hinted of returning to the NRL is Chris Mckenna. He said that he was suprised of the interest he is getting from NRL clubs and may go there next year. He is in talks with Leeds at the moment and has been happy playing with them.
Chris feels his game has improved on the skillful side, since joining Leeds in 2002.

Damn didn't know Carney was so old.

 

[ParraDude_Jay]

Carney isn't even 30 yet, he's 28/29 (not sure if he's had his birthday yet). He'd be a great signing.

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

Scott Donald > Leeds

Christ, now Leeds will be scoring 120 points a game with him on board...

 

[Corbin]

i'd expect McKenna to go to Manly,

Im really hoping that some french players come to australia after they almost beat us aussies last year!

 

[JasonE]

Carney was a late starter to RL though so theres plenty left in the tank.

 

[Billy the kid]

Rumoured that Aaron Moule is coming back.
