I hope he succeeds. He could play on the wing, because he has the speed and size to make an impact there.
If he is successful it could be the start of something really great for the game, because an influx of Americans into professional rugby league (both into Super League and the NRL) could provide the core group of players for a future US professional league and a quality US national team.
Leeds Rhinos have a relationship with Jacksonville Florida, because they go there to train preseason. IIRC Leeds will play a US team during their coming visit. They ought to trial US rugby league players, and maybe also American football players, from the Southeast region of the USA while they are there.

Catalan are the only club in SL Calloway would be able to play for, given he has a conviction for use of a stolen credit card that would likely prevent him getting a UK visa.

According to what you just said, sounds like he wouldn't have much problem in getting a Visa.
If each Super League club and each NRL club would talent search in the USA, and trial enough players to get one or two quality American players for the first grade squad, the we would have between 28 and 56 Americans good enough to play professional rugby league. These players could eventually provide the core playing group for a professional US rugby league competition, and for a U.S. national team that could be competitive in the Rugby League World Cup.
The Roosters had a couple of yanks playing who were American Footballers in the mid 90s. They never made it to first grade. So good luck to this geezer.

Can't be much of an American Football player, look at the difference in salaries.
How wrong you are, he was actually one of the top H-backs at Alabama, which in turn is one of the top colleges for gridiron. He was thrown off the team for his fraudulent use of a credit card conviction, problem is that he has a drugs offence too under his belt.
Here's the blurb on him, http://www.alabamaintel.com/brent-callo ... h-started/ somewhat closer to 107kg/17 stone than the 100kg that the Australian press reported. He also played at linebacker so not unaccustomed to tackling If he still has the explosive speed then he could turn out to be a monster centre or winger.
