Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

Its a beautiful place though that has got a great lifestyle.'"
It was great when I first arrived and the exchange rate was over $3 to the pound (nothing near close to that now). Reality sets in when you start earning the Kiwi dollar lol.
It's a great place to live, there's always something to do and I love how crime is rarely much of a problem down here. It took me a few years to settle in though. I lived in a few different places around the North & South Island before finally settling in Queenstown. I came pretty close to moving back home myself in 2007 but decided to stick it out and thankfully things seem to have worked out well.
QuoteJEAN CAPDOUZE="JEAN CAPDOUZE"Yes it does have the right. London is the capital of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It must be represented in Super League if rugby league is to be taken seriously in the UK, let alone overseas.
Also, let us not forget that London has produced stars like Daniel Sarginson, Louis McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Anthony Clubb, Kieran Dixon, Mason Caton-Brown, Michael Channing, etc. The list goes on.'"
This guy should be on stage !!!!!! catching bullets between his teeth.
QuoteJim Pooley="Jim Pooley"The idea that someone from Hull, the great dude of Britain (it's where you live, learn to spell it) felt that New Zealand wasn't for them is quite ironic really.
New Zealand has been my home for 6 years now and my biggest regret is that I didn't move here sooner.......the quality of life is light years ahead of the UK. Auckland is my least favourite place here, but is craps all over Wigan from a great height......he's not homesick, he's just failed.
Aussies get their culture from a yoghurt pot.'"
Now that Sams had a successful run of games and the NZW are 4th in the table do you still have the same opinion?
As the original predictor of the Samuel Tomkins' cave in to his homesick partner, I think that we now have to ask how good is Samuel going to be back at Wigan, faced with the emergence of the likes of Zachary Hardaker and Morgan Escare as rivals. Samuel will be a big fish in a small pond once again, but now some other big fish have emerged to compete for attention. Moreover his Wigan team mates play with a conservatism that is unknown at the NZ Warriors. Can Samuel readapt to that and still perform at the highest level that he was once capable of? At least Samuel will no longer have to live in the shadow of magical Shaun Johnson -- perhaps another reason why he is scurrying back to Wigan.
