No it's the lesser average names taking up squad positions that could be filled by English players to at or very near the same quality. The Ben Cross/Weller Hauraki etc etc type players. The ones who never come close to being the best but still keep getting regular gametime and keep getting contracts at SL clubs.

But as I said, that is actually a relatively minor issue compared to the real development problems prior to first team SL squads.

wests have to cover his wages of 1 million a year for the next two years, if he came to sl for 200 thousand, he would still get his million as wests would have to make up rest of his wages to cover his current contract....

I'd love to see him in SL. Have Catalans revealed their Marquee player yet?

Can't see it realistically.

Can't see Catalans signing him as well as Aiton.

I think most clubs would be interested but who could actually afford him? And would he want to leave the NRL whilst still in contention for SOO?

In all honesty I can't see it either. Hope St.George go for him!
