should thread title be updated to "Top Rugby Australia Talent targeting NRL"?
The Roosters are really struggling for outside backs, so this would be a good signing lol
No chance manu goes to that rabble lol
Code in crisis
Clovelly Public SchoolScomo is from the Eastern Suburbs and he still went for the Sharts
So somehow with so many spots open at so many clubs, not one club can sign a freakin outside back and free the bloke to actually run..
Andre Esterhuizen, never seen him play, but surely he has some skills.
I just find it weird not one back out of entire world cup is not tried.
NZ excluded, union has prestige over league, plus union backs in NZ know league is harder for less reward.
Ok. Why would any nrl side take that risk? To drag across a union player at that level wouldn't be cheap. Union backs have nowhere near the same workload, so there's a risk they can't cope with the defensive workload. There is a production line of backs coming through, who have played league their entire lives. Not worth the risk.

Looks like the risk is about to be mitigated...
Clueless again popsBecause we lack players.
OT: Has the NRL run out of players?
I won't post this with full confidence in the accuracy of the info but I do expect it will be in the ballpark. It is sourced from the fan site, Number of roster spots open Club Spots left ? most significant loss Brisbane Broncos 5 roster spots Flegler, Palasia, Farnworth Canberra...
So yes worth a shot.
But hey Union is easy, so probably will not happen.
Great moveLooks like the risk is about to be mitigated...
ARLC to discuss salary cap exemptions for clubs signing Wallabies stars
NRL clubs look set to be handed financial incentives to target players from rugby, with Max Jorgensen set to join Mark Nawaqanitawase as a prime target for the 13-man code.www.smh.com.au
Sounds good. But geez, you gotta feel sorry for the Recruitment officers having to sit through a truckload of Union games to identify the talent. Salaries doubled in one fell swoop.Looks like the risk is about to be mitigated...
