I reckon you're right. Here's a back of a fag packet group of players who could do it IMHO. Some won't because of nice salaries/family etc. Walmsley, Thompson, Makinson, Grace, Lomax, Fages, Knowles, Connor, Taylor, Shaul, Watts, Trueman, McMeeken, Garcia, Julien, McGillvary, Leeming, Watkins, Walker, Johnstone.

The Mole also said they were interested in SBW. The Dogs are skint, so make of that what you will. Worth taking with a pinch of salt. I remember reading somewhere that Thompson's dad is a multi millionaire, so I guess chasing dollars is not his priority. If he did try his hand in the NRL, you'd think Nathan Brown would have had a quiet word - Same with Theo Fages who is rumoured to be on the move... Although, if I was the Dragons I'd try and get Thompson in as as a replacement for Jammer or (if convicted/banned) JDB.

So Round 6. Sam and Bateman on 6 points in Dally M reckoning. Munster leads with 11. Dragons v Manly Widdop still out but Graham plays. Jordan Pereira who put his hand up for England has been going great on the wing. Souths v Bulldogs Sam now captain after GI retirement, twins both in as is Campbell Graham. Canberra v Brisbane All four Poms slated to play. Sutton been really impressive, still waiting for Whitehead to explode into action. Bateman and Hodgson been great. Roosters v Storm Radley fills in at 9 again, Hall expected back Rd 8. Q Cup Devils - Herbie Farnworth is second in points chart after scoring four tries and kicking goals. Next cab off the rank if Brisbane go a man down in the backs? Cutters - Alex Gerrard has been playing, Lloyd White not in this weekend - unsure why. Capras - Luke George scored just once so far this season. Bottom of the table

and he had Ponga in his back pocket the week before last.

Pangai with a dog shot on Cronk last night. Think the comparisons with Taumalolo are overblown personally. JT was way ahead of him at that age and had already won a Dally M. Think Broncos are looking really shaky. Boyd looks half the player and their halves are erratic. No organisation https://twitter.com/NRLonNine/status/1113735860665573376

And he goes up against Cam on Friday! Should be a cracker

ROUND 2 TEAMS Brisbane v Melbourne Herbie Farnworth - at Norths Devils in Q Cup, lost last weekend. Canberra v Melbourne John Bateman - named at 13, 2 Dally M points Josh Hodgson - starts at 9, 3 Dally M points Ryan Sutton - on the bench, only did 15 mins last weekend Elliot Whitehead - starts at second row Souths v Dragons This one could get ugly!! George Burgess - still banned Sam Burgess - starts at second row after a good game v Roosters Tom Burgess - starts at prop, has had concussion Graham - starts at prop in a scratch Dragons side Widdop at No 1. McGregor under pressure to move him back to No6 Roosters v Manly Ryan Hall - still not fit Victor Radley - starts at 13 Trent Hodkinson - demoted to reserve grade Wests v Warriors Chris McQueen - named in the 21. doubt he'll play

Yes he does. Throw all the Scots in. Euan Aitken (Dragons), Jarred Anderson (Dogs). Sheldon Powe-Hobbs (N Pride) and Billy McConnachie (Ipswich) in Q Cup. Lachlan Stein (Newtown)

Not sure if they played for a SL academy. No idea where he will be playing club-wise.

Looked at Big League teamlists, there's also another Englishman: Luke George - Wilf's son and of a great couple of years with Huddersfield is at the CQ Capras in the Q Cup. That's where Dave Taylor is atm. Down the road at Mackay, Lloyd White (Welsh) and Alex Gerrard, both formerly Widnes are at the Cutters.

Yeah three games. Didn't play in the trials either, so imagine he'll be playing reserve grade to get fitness. He's off contract this season too.

ROUND 1 TEAMS Brisbane v Melbourne Herbie Farnworth - at Norths Devils in Q Cup, scored twice last weekend. Andre Savelio - gone to Hull Canberra v Gold Coast John Bateman - named at 13 Josh Hodgson - starts at 9 Ryan Sutton - on the bench Elliot Whitehead - starts at second row Manly v Wests Trent Hodkinson - benched. Was expected to partner DCE. Likely a utility pivot this season. Souths v Roosters George Burgess - still banned Sam Burgess - starts at second row. Tom Burgess - starts at prop St George v N Qld James Graham - starts at prop Gareth Widdop - starts at FB Roosters v Souths Ryan Hall - still not fit Victor Radley - starts at 13 Wests v Manly Chris McQueen - named in the 21. doubt he'll play

also would appear one of the Goulding lads is at Cowboys

Hull FC!

Au contraire... "If I could play for England in this break, and come back and play for NSW I'd do it in a heartbeat"
