jonah lomu to london broncos ??????

[douglasallen91]

jonah lomu has had some meetings with cullen sports, in the aim of jonah lomu joining the london broncos if cullen sports buys the london broncos superleague team

 

[FredParky]

But would he not be a quota player? I think they are up to quota unless he is a Kolpak ruling South sea islander?

 

[Fairleigh Good!]

Jonah Lomu :lol:

He retired five years ago did he not?

 

[DIEHARD]

Any sources to this rumour?

It'd be huge if it was true.

 

[FredParky]

Its good publicity though if it is anything like true, and in this game in 'Blighty' any news in the newspapers is good news.

 

[douglasallen91]

Jonah Lomu :lol:

He retired five years ago did he not?

he is planning to come back in march

 

[douglasallen91]

in the sunday paper last week both jonahs manager and wife, PR agent and eric watson have been confirmed of having a meeting with jonah about going to the broncos

You would think Union would be his first priority, with League 2nd.

 

[shaggy]

im pretty sure he played leage up until the end of high-school
he never really retired from union he stopped playin about 2 yrs ago due 2 the fact that he had problems with his kidneys & has 2 have dialises 4 it, it was also revieled he played with this problem through his hole carrer menaing he has never played @ 100%, if he got the transplant (which last i heard he was on the waitng list trying 2 find a donar) then i guess he would return 2 the game

he had his kidney transplant like 3 to 5 months ago

It would be a MASSIVE boost to the London Broncos and Rugby League in Great Britain. The amount of Kiwi's atleast that would turn out to see him play would be a boost. (probably double the crowds)

 

[douglasallen91]

i also hear danny williams has signed for 1 year with the london broncos with danny missing out on the first 9 games due to suspension

 

[ThrashViking]

It'll be worth it just for the publicity he gets.

 

[In-goal]

Well i never thought i would see the day, i just hope it's true.

 

[DIEHARD]

Publicity is publicity I guess, either way.

 

[Corbin]

Lomu should be going to the warroirs instead.

 

[Fatbob]

This is the problem with rugby league in England. Why has this rumour not made the papers/tv? I'd love to see it happen but more importantly I'd love to see the rumour make some waves. Ellery Hanley to the London Monarchs anybody?? :lol:

[playdaball]

Lomu has come out IN TODAY'S NZ Herald strongly denying a switch to RL.

 

[SalfordRedsWA]

Question is, is he fit enought o play rugby league? :lol:
