Priced himself out of the move.

You actually believe ‘zero tackle’ in fact you actually read it?
Utter made up garbage click bait.

That suggests to me that we've nailed him for a big marquee deal. If he went to Australia he'd be the best hooker down there and worth every cent of a big NRL salary. If they are only offering him peanuts in relative terms then he'd be making a big sacrifice by dragging his family over there. What's the incentive for his wife if they go there without building a nice nest egg? She'd be dragged away from family just for him to show off his skills in a better competition.

Yeh your right, I mean why should we bother reading any news anywhere when you are always right

To be fair RD should recognise “made up garbage” when he sees it.

The best hooker in the NRL? I'm not sure about that. Hodgson has been very good in the NRL and you've got the likes of Cook and Koroisau, even before you look at the younger generation, and as ever they have some very good players coming through.

That big marquee deal would have to be pretty decent. The average NRL player is now on £218,000 with an increase due with the new TV deal. The average Super League salary is £80,000. If he'd be the best hooker you would imagine there will be several sides after him. Certainly looks a good situation for his wife

But you said it yourself when you mentioned Hodgson, who was bang average over here. If Roby or Clark had been in the NRL the last five years they’d look far far better than Hodgson.

This, Clark is far better than Hodgson. I'd be very disappointed jtednif he left but it would be interesting to see how he went in the NRL.

Got to remember Hodgson played in an awful team over here. Clark has a better running game than Hodgson definitely, not sure he has much else over him. I think if Hodgson had come back and played in a decent team he'd look outstanding, he's certainly far better than our reigning Man of Steel.

Better hookers there may be in the NRL, but Hodgson isn't one of them.

The only thing Hodgson has over Clark is a better kicking game. Clark is superior in every other department.
