Brett Stewart has received a massive offer off a UK club.

London Irish though and the SL clubs interested can't afford him. That's what the SMH article you read stated anyway presumably???

Apparently 4 and that's in the RFU's second division! Setaimata Sa and Shaun Edwards already there though.

all the vibes are wrong we would have got no comments or "we don't comment on rumours" from Bomber and Co,

"We don't comment on rumours" is a James Rule line. McRae has commented on rumours on a couple of occasions.

They're in the second division?

Isn't Edwards in Sydney now with Wales?

Yes I've heard all 3 rovers players are done or agreed deals . But I work with broughs relation and he's said it's not true about him coming back . Of course he could lie , but don't see why he would with all the rumours about him signing .

ive been told about the brough one as well by what would be a "good source" but i cant see it honestly

No need to hope... It's 100% not happening!!

I honestly think we can forget McDonnell, I don't know whether it is because we don't particularly rate him or perhaps he has made it clear to both Clubs that his intention is a return to Aus. all the vibes are wrong we would have got no comments or "we don't comment on rumours" from Bomber and Co, rather than brusk denials from both Clubs. By doing that they burn their boats. On this occassion I think that Humberside got it wrong, everyone make mistakes, although you would think G would know, but it certainly got people talking, if thats what they wanted however it seems to have wound a few up at our Club too. I could be proved wrong and just my thoughts of course, but I am pretty sure that he isn't staying at Rovers either.

If McDonnell goes back to Aus I think there's only a handful of clubs where he'd stand a decent chance of getting in at fullback. If that's his preferred position he may be better off staying in SL. There's a massive gulf between the quality available in the position in the 2 competitions IMO, even more so than the general NRL v SL difference.

Where did McDonnell say he was going back to Aus?

According to the Sun, Leeds are going 'head to head' with Canberra for Tim Moltzen.
