    The Rumours Thread

    Paul Turner has now been confirmed as having signed for my club Featherstone Rovers who play in the Championship (2nd tier) in England.

    Joey Leilua signs for...

    Seriously? "Fui Fui play 10 minutes, Fui Fui train 10 minutes"? The incident when Moi Moi was sacked by Toronto along with Dave Taylor for various alleged indiscretions? His wife's very public attacks on his extra-marital activities? The bar for being "an absolute professional on and off the...

    Joey Leilua signs for...

    You're probably right. But expectations are going to be different - high by UK Championship standards, but not remotely in the ballpark of a $850k NRL marquee-type signing. It's a gamble by Featherstone, but we are already arguably the strongest team in the division and he won't be expected to...

    Joey Leilua signs for...

    I really don't know, and salaries don't get revealed over here. But it will be a tiny fraction of what he was on in Aus. £50k (about $92.5k) would make him one of the top earners in the Championship...about half his team mates will have a full-time job outside RL (Featherstone are a hybrid...

    Joey Leilua signs for...

    ...Featherstone Rovers to play in the English Championship (tier 2). I know this because I'm a Featherstone fan and we've just announced it. Yes, am well aware of what a massive fall from grace this represents, how the mighty are fallen etc and have read all the negative stuff about him here and...

    Cameron King Anyone ?

    Cameron King played for my team (Featherstone Rovers) in the English Championship (tier 2) this season. Featherstone were beaten by Toronto Wolfpack in the qualifying game for SL, having led until 20 minutes from the end. At Fev we like to joke that we were 20 minutes from signing Sonny Bill...

    Cameron King signs for Featherstone Rovers

    Sorry to prolong this thread but you'd have to be hardnosed not to see the feelgood factor here..after a third try on Sunday in three games he has gone from from being an NRL cast-off to a cult hero at Featherstone and he's only been over in England for 17 days! post-game when everyone else is...

    Cameron King signs for Featherstone Rovers

    Apparently Dane Chisholm (aussie half back who plays for Bradford) warned all his team mates beforehand that King would try this, but to no avail. I think his move is going to be good for both parties, this is a totally different level to NRL and probably the right level for him but he's playing...

    Cameron King signs for Featherstone Rovers

    Make it a 2 in 470 event after he scored again in week 1 of the regular season. In startling news, it appears that it's easier to score tries from dummy half in the UK 2nd tier than it is in the NRL :D. Fair play to him though, he played 80 minutes in temperatures of 3 degrees and icy rain 9...

    Cameron King signs for Featherstone Rovers

    Cameron is making his debut for Featherstone today in a pre-season friendly against Leeds Rhinos...and after just 5 minutes scored from dummy half within 2 metres of the try line :D

    Cameron King signs for Featherstone Rovers

    Hi all, I'm a Featherstone Rovers fan and we have just announced that we have signed Cameron King for 2019, facilitated by our new Aussie coach Ryan Carr. Doing a quick search through this forum it seems clear that most felt he wasn't really NRL standard at this stage of his career, but we are...
