Why do we need Union players? We've got a bloody good academy.

Wasnt it Nobles idea to sign players from RU to raise the profile of the sport?

Yeah, but he also says this which is just ridiculous; BBC Sport wrote:The former GB coach is advocating the scheme in order to bring more British and Irish talent into the sport.

Talking to a lad the other day who fancies a go at League.
He's 24 plays tight head prop, 6'3" around 17st.
Trouble is, he got sent off and banned for 12 matches.
"I play with too much passion and want to win too much. I look after my mates as well" ses he!
Hard as f*****g nails and playing with a half mended fractured eye socket.
He played Union at school and since.
If we picked up a top class Union player with his attitude we'd be ok.
After all he'd only get put on report here in League!
