Just a shame he won't win a nrl title with Souths.

Reports I have heard is that he will be with Souths for the 2014 season before any possible move to Union. So if true still a chance?

Sorry Freddie you're right in theory, but Souths won't win the nrl this year.

The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

Still struggling to think where he'll play. eight? probably, but unless he already possesses a good understanding of union it could be risky. any other pack position is too specalised and he's probably too small.

outside centre? wasted.

Stick with league Sam.

Is it genuine anger at his perceived lack of focus or is it jealousy at the attention? Or just press b0llocks?

That's the biggest load of rubbish I've ever read.

The character assaination is in full swing.

The press love building people up, just to tear them back down again. While it was only a brief mention, if the press continue to bring their Mum in to it, I can't see any of them sticking around.

What is the definition of a "marquee" signing?
Someone who's played NRL? A World Champion ?
Who would have the final say?

He'll do well at union not least because the skill levels are so low that anyone with serious talent will be lauded. Hopefully he wont get bored during the endless stoppages and set pieces that characterise that rich and expertly marketed sport.

It would be quite simple I imagine. Each club would be allowed to nominate any player as a marquee player, regardless of their background or experience. That players salary would not count on the cap.
