Well hearing the interviews with Players and Coaching Staff on SKy against Batley and Sheff i only picked out Local accents!!!
Good Luck to them dont think theyll be bothering the fax DO YOU?

Carcassonne to Gateshead....

I feel desperately sorry for the lad

He's probably been told he'll be playing SL in 3 years as Gateshead are in rugby league no mans land.

Good Signing this for Gateshead, i know i have said this before but WE need a HalfBack if he is going too Them no offence, then surely he would have wanted to come here.

WE probably could not afford him. plus we not doing bad with what we got.

Is Ben Black not doing the business for you??

Surprise ,surprise but hey this is good for the game, expansion at any cost which means improving the Aussie game or French game well anywhere except the English game eh???

Russel Aitken - he was well out of his depth in the NRL and I'm guessing nobody else in the NRL rated his chances of making it as he wasn't offered a sniff of a contract.

He was poor at the Storm and I never saw any potential in him (obviously somebody did though or he wouldn't have been at the Storm).

He only played in the GF and WCC as Storm didn't have anybody else resembling a hooker (note we lost both games )

I don't think the boys will be troubled by him although he'll probably go alright in the Gateshead side.

From what I've seen of Ben Black he looks a far better player than Aitken.

TBH the last time before Sunday I saw so many Australians on holiday I was at Surfer's Paradise!
