He's joined a club with an NRL team.....when he makes the matchday 17 he's joined the "side".

The best 24 from each country were on show last year. The eyes of the RL world were on them, including scouts from all 30 professional RL teams on the planet. The were terrible........a couple were picked up by HKR and then dropped.
French RL players at Catalans (in the starting XIII) number single digits by the way.....not sure of the numbers of top flight PNG players in the NRL, but about 13 of the RLWC squad were NRL Based.....that's a poor return for a nation supposedly mad about the game.


Like a health warning on a packet of ciggies, the above should be attached to every single one of your posts.....

I'm talking about bringing more of their amateur and semi-pro players into a full time environment to develop them. What's that got to do with last years international squads? My point is we would get more success from players coming from proper RL clubs from proper RL regions rather than places like America (or even the south of England!) where too many RL clubs play a very short season using mostly players from other sports.

Saw him today. Big, strong, ball carrying prop. Ran flat out as often as his legs would allow him.

Another good away win on the weekend.

I thought they would struggle to win any away games this year, but so far they have 2 wins, a draw and a loss away from home for the season.
