idrewthehaggis Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 All I will say that a friend - as "reward" for a favour - took me to see Sale play Toulouse. A bottle of whisky perhaps , but ah well. I was sat watching Josh Charnley spin nonchalantly and almost invisible marking air on the Sharks wing. i am sure he was earning more than that game than I was in a few years, but he cut a certain redundant figure as the "Chaps" and "Guys" battled out consequent rucks, scrums and line outs. If Regan wants that more fool him, less fool his bank balance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolford6 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 To say that Regan Grace is not cut out for RU is ridiculous ... he was brought up on it. If he can tackle the likes of Ryan Hall and Fouad Yaha he can tackle the likes of any RU winger. 40 players have been released by the Welsh RU Regions and so he probably won't go to Wales for political and financial reasons rather than for not being wanted. His father is reportedly English. However, it's true that he is more cut out for RL ... that's why Canberra are reportedly interested in him.

Have you noticed that we're supposedly interested in every SL player with any notoriety these days? The truth is that we're not seriously interested in the vast majority of them, their managers are just trying to use our existence and recent history of hiring poms to increase the value of their contracts at home. That's not to say that the club isn't interested in Regan Grace in particular, as I wouldn't have any more of a clue than you do as to whether they're interested in him in particular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably plays our World Cup and hops over after. That is the other nations fault, not England's. Its not England's job to grow Scottish and Welsh rugby. Part of the split was also to open up funding for each union. I think the Welsh are actually doing an OK job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fighting irish Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I think Regan Grace, should think very carefully about turning away from St. Helens and Rugby League in general, in response to an offer from the great god Ra. I am afraid that he may not fully appreciate, that having supped his fill of the delights of playing alongside those (great) Saints players, who have taken every opportunity to include him fully, in the fast and furious Super League, a return to the sedentary, soporific, spectator sport that is Kick and Clap wing-play will suck every bit of enthusiasm (for playing) and every ounce of his innate zest for life out of his veins and leave him a dry and withered, lifeless husk of his former self. That would be the biggest tragedy of all. I'd advise he speaks to Josh Charnley and Denny Solomona about their experiences in the gloomy, mephitic halls of the noxious opium dens, carefully crafted by the great Ra to seduce our best and fairest back to the dark side. Life, and achieving it's full potential, isn't just about the acquisition of money. What does it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, but suffers the loss of his own soul? 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
