This is huge news. This is no unfit, overweight whopper like Burrell. This is a bona fide rugby union star who was all blacks player of the year last year

Huge news for whom, some NRL team for sure, what impact will it have on SL?, none at all I suspect, it's that huge over here it's had 3 replies on here

Will be interesting to see if this happens?

I think his being a bit arrogant to name the Rosters or the Storm as destinations as no guarantee either of those sides want him but yes a RU player in his prime wanting to come to RL is a good thing.

If he was to switch i wonder if some other All Blacks would do the same?

Interesting? But Is it just me that this smacks of an agent’s ploy to get more cash from his current employer?

He is 16 so has less time for Union to ruin him. To be fair they game of RU is better than when Gallagher was playing so any player who does switch is less likely to fail.

Exactly this.
A couple of pointed questions from a journo and you have headline news.
Cant see them "letting him" go and he will either be in for a pay rise or, be ostracised for daring to mention Rugby League.
