Family reluctant to leave Australia. Stay well clear.

3 young kids in tow, not ideal is it.





I realise its hard to find quallity players but its very risky.

Doesn't seem very keen, I'd leave him where he is.

Its easy to see why he wouldn't be keen with young children and a personal motivation to remain in the NRL.



Is he whats needed, would he offer more than southern? or an option closer to home.

So who has agreed to leave if we are offering contracts to Injured Aussies? Or is he a none quota?

Seems bright enough to rationalise the situation, maybe he will be bright enough to decide if its the right thing for him and his family to move to the uk or not.

Do we really need to be replacing one injury prone, ageing, average aussie back rower who doesn't want to be here with another? Not for me this one, hope he turns the deal down.

This

Looks like one of those 'two year deals' that would quickly be terminated when he gets 'homesick,' right about the time that an NRL club offers him a new deal.

Agreed. We need to learn the lessons from previous experience and stay well clear.

Agreed.

I can't see how we can get anything worthwhile out of this. If he is poor/injured we get another quota player not in the first team squad. If he is average, we take up a quota spot at a standard we could get from a project player or youngster. If he is good, he'll be on the first flight to the first NRL club who notices.

For that reason, I'm out.
