Nobby's idea is basically the RFL should direct each club to sign a Jonny Wilkinson, or a Brian O'Driscoll. A mass RL player snatch.

Good publicity - with the added benefit of doubtless winding up some outraged Onions - but who would we actually want? And is it practical?

They might also be buried in a locked casket in an Afghan cave, but it's hardly accessible, is it?

why not? over the course of 3 days, enough people accessed it to have a 7 page discussion on the subject - so on the whole slightly more accessible than a locked casket in an Afghan cave.

More like a 7 page discussion on the merits of Vainikolo's kick return :SLEEPY:

Band aid solution....

Each club is better off spending an extra 200k a year on juinor development rather then poaching players. It may get a few extra lines of press (how RU in aus gets its extra column space) initially, but how is this going to better British and French RL?

SL, RU poach a few players from the NRL each season, however no one notices they are missing after a few weeks into the new season. They are too busy watching the next Folou or boom rookie.

True..but we could definately pinch a couple of players worthy of an England/France/Wales shirt i reckon.

The plan is one player who will cost Ā£50k off the salary cap, no matter what they are actually paid. Sounds like the American Soccer league's system that allowed Galaxy to sign Beckham.

I don't see why it should be ring-marked for RU players (but I can see why you would need to exclude current SL players). The plan would be for the signing to be financed by sponsorship money - but how many clubs have enough sponsorship as it is? Would signing Sebastien Chabal find its own funding and generate more publicity/sponsorship than the cost? It worked for Wire when they signed Joey.
