and?

It's an achievement. He's made a brave decision to turn down a final year in Union to come and play league for a new franchise. He has given league a lot of good publicty with how he has spoken so enthusiastically about the move. If his hard work pays off and he can inspire Welsh players into seeing league as an option it should be applauded.

Gareth Thomas takes a dump. Read all about it on the VT ........................................

Exactly, this is what he's bringing to the table. His enthusiasm and positivity about the game and his experiences will do wonders for the game.

Biggest name in RL in the UK seems to be going well.

I bet it won't. Let's assess things in two years and see these "wonders" you speak of. I've nothing against what he's doing and i wish him well but it's nothing to get so excited about really. Durham Giant's post shows how insecure we are as a sport when we get so worked up that a Union player close to retirement chooses to play a season in League.

Yep. Iafeta Paleaaesina had a good game today against Salford.

There is a bigger picture to all this.

Unfortunately too many RL fans do not understand the term , ''Bigger Picture''.

You don't get any bigger than Jonathan Davies. With a mass of media attention, he came, he saw and he certainly conquered. Rugby League in the UK still sits firmly behind Union though. I know what the bigger picture is - it's Rugby League as a minority sport and the likes of Gareth Thomas, and nay, Jonathan Davies of the recent past won't be changing that any time soon.

Took his try well, although not sure of how good a feat that is at the moment as we must be a dream to play against for wingers. Only one try is probably a poor effort against us for a winger.





Still showed a few signs of his inexperience of the game, but looks a hell of a lot better than what I saw of his debut and could develop into a top RL player in time, which is good for the game.
