I agree, but you never know.
It wold be one hell of a challenge for the guy - an opportunity to really put his money where his mouth is and create in Britain the style and standard of play that he always insists we lack.
very few RU players would be able to handle RL, thats why you see so few making the switch (although wages have something to do with that as well!)
Seems the same going in the other direction as as well. Faz, Henry Paul, Vainokolo, Hape all international league players who made no real impact in union. Apart from Tiquiri and Robinson most RL players going to union have struggled.

Both games are more different than people think, a good player from either code cannot just walk into any team in the opposite code and do a good job. I have heard people say that Jonny Wilkinson would walk into any super league side and be the best player in the world
O'Driscoll is the only one to honestly convince me he would be a good player in league.
Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS

Well I personally would hope that if Henson did move to Celtic he could not only lift there profile and the profile of Rugby League, but he himself could make a success of it and who's knows he could even be a future GB Centre with a bit of luck.
Wigan vs Leeds finals aggregate score.
Wigan 178 - 64 Leeds
Wigan wins - 6 Leeds wins - 0
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!
