Past his sell by date

[RL The greatest game]

I hope no Super League club sign him as the wages he would want would be better spent on Junior development.

Totally disagree, I doubt he'd be asking for a big wage. His experience to help some younger forwards come through (and all players for that matter) would be worth just as much as throwing some random money at 'junior development'.

I’ve never read such drivel. He’s certainly past his best but he has a lot to offer on and off the field to super league sides.

Also disagree. His leadership and experience Is exactly what some younger English forwards need around them.

Tough prop who has spent time in a better league comp goes back home to pass on what he's learnt during his career in esl and nrl to younger players and make his team and hopefully the esl comp a little better. Yeah who would want that.

Going to Saint Helens immediately, will return to Australia in January to see out his days.

Good luck to him I say. Sometimes things just need to be grasped when they are available.

Saints? Wow! That’s a shock.

Did he get sick of Mary or is it a cash grab ?

Seems unlikely he is going to be getting more there in this climate than here.
Seems like he knows he’s played one season to long in the NRL and wants go for one last hoorah where it all started.

If the money aspect is true then is he a marquee player (unlikely IMO) or are Sts working wonders with their accountancy?

they’ve just released a player to come to the doggies. (Name escapes me right now) I’ve no idea what figure either are on but it could be a simple 1 for 1.

True. I had forgotten about Luke Thompson’s immediate switch.

Would have loved him at my club, even just for 6 months! He's been waiting to get his Australian permanency so he can retire back here next year. Good that he can go out on his own preferred terms where it all began. He deserves it.
