yes he is , lol funniest thing is and i find this kinda odd thet let the backers of rugby 360 pay for them come to usa play games wine n dine them in all there sports games n casinos ( who picked up the bill oh wait rugby 360 )

rugby 360 owners come from all the biggest sporting leagues across the world soccer clubs basketball cricket
yet they want ban players and agents why not ban the cross code players or players that go to super league

10 year bans were something super league had then were found as illegal as your restricting trade if rugby 360 does come about , sounds more nrl running scared


they don't just get big basketball nfl players to rock up because they nrl

the fact also can lift the bans on case to case just shows how dumb nrl are ( you can bet if a top 10 player in nrl went he be weclomed back with open arms )
After the Jack De Belin farce, I think the bans would have stood up in court. It would have had to go to a higher court which would have taken years and which would have cost the players suing truck loads of money.

Purely hypothetical at this stage and looks like it will be forever but I disagree.

Keeley will thrive at the Storm under Bellamy his game will go to another level. Sad to see him leave as his peak years are still ahead of him but happy for him to be at a very successful coach under an elite coach who has a great record of getting fringe players from elsewhere turning them into stars.

I thought 26 was Bellamy last year as head coach

Agree completely. Good for him, but this is one I reckon we will regret. He's got the tenacity to be anything with the right system around him. Won't be at all surprised if he is a top 5 backrower in a couple of years.

Surprised he is being let go but according to Woolf, he might have fallen behind Zac Graton and/or Lewis Symonds and maybe Knowles as well. I actually don't really know about Knowles at all. He was already behind Lemuelu and Finefuiaki.

I just hope he isn't planning to play Plath or Gilbert in the backrow. He started last year with Plath in the backrow and Gilbert at lock and we all know how that played out.

Oyrn is joining the Storm. With all due respect to Woolf, Bellamy has a great habit of turning players around into top players. If he goes there, you're likely going to be right, without sticking your neck out. I mean he is going to be coached by the coach that will go down as one of the best ever, despite what I think of him.

However, if he stays under Woolf, whilst I think he will become a great coach, he isn't Bellamy (yet). So should he stay here does he become that top 5 backrower? No, not on what I have seen.

I must admit, I didn't think Keeley was that good. Not a big loss. IMO. Though it is confirmed he is going to the Storm? I haven't seen the news.
