Are there any wallabies who could be turned.? : Sat Jun 08, 2013 1:43 pm  
Could Quade cooper play RL ? He seems to want to play like a RL player
Morahan the Queensland reds winger looked like he could be a useful RL player ?
any others that could be poached in Australia

If they could make it they'd already be in the NRL.

Most of the Wannabes are RL rejects as-is, that they are so successfull in the Union rankings/WC's just shows what a sham their intl comps are.

mistaking your opinion for fact again?

To answer the OP, Cooper would be a liability in defence, but there are a couple of outside backs that might make the grade. There's also a pretty handy fella playing FB for the wannabees at the moment...he might be able to step up :wink:

Hi Andy

The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

There is no lack of quality full backs in the NRL at the moment.

except at the NZ Warriors where a certain lad from Milton Keynes isn't as good as what's off to Salford IMHO.

Nick Cummins would have been worth a punt, but he's off to the land of the rising sun to cash in next year. Kurtley Beale would be a good acquisition IMHO.

I happen to believe that Zak Hardaker is a better all round full back than Sam Tomkins. Others will disagree.
Anyway the rumour mill is saying that Sam is off to union after his stint in NZ. Like his brother though he will get bored playing the 15 a side game, and will in the medium to long term look at a return to Wigan IMO.

Not sure if he'll be happy with his first year in NZ......he really have been average at best IMHO.

I really rate Hardaker, and I reckon it's make or break for Sam T this year after a slightly disappointing first season. I wouldn't say Locke is better than him, though.

And of course if things don't work out at the Warriors, we'd welcome him back with open arms at Wigan. :)
