Will Mark Gasnier defect to Rugby Union?

I feel a bit sorry for league players. They are torn between playing the code they love and which has given them their break, and the fact that union is able to offer such lucrative deals.\n\nI think he will probably go to union - I know I would if I were in his shoes.

Yes he is playing for the Wellington Hurricanes. He has another year on his contract with them and there is talk of him going to Europe.

I am not sure.  I know Wales has hopes due to the Ospreys victory.  I'm kind of torn.  I have a good friend from Wales, but our rugby club's coach is from Australia.

They probably won't next season barring some major disaster.  He's doesn't have the speed that Lemaire is looking for, but he does have a booming shot.  IF (big if) he is called up, it'll be for a very specific roll - 3rd line sniper or checking line winger... if he's lucky, 2nd line on the 4 man kill.

Nope..with his experiences in the competition..it is a huge boost for France to get him back.

I was at the Cardiff match yesterday and all the talk is that he will not join Cardiff.  Dave Jones approcahed Man Utd about loaning him for a month while Steven Thompson gains full fitness and Alex Ferguson publicly said that he thinks a loan move to Cardiff would be good for one month.  He gave Cardiff permission to speak to Alan which apparently will happen on Monday.  However Leeds have thrown their hat into the ring along with various other clubs and the consensus is he will go elsewhere.  Ninian Park is not a happy ground for Alan and he was sent off there in a 2-1 FA Cup defeat in his Leeds days. The only reason he may join is the Ridsdale factor and connection.

I would think that the kangaroos moving up to queensland to form the northern kangaroos seems like a logical move financially for the club and the comp. There isn't a big enough fan base to move a club to Tassie so i think the hawks and saints will stay. The only other option is a second team in Sydney or a team in Canberra...I think that the canberra option may be passed its used by date (especially if the kangas move to qld) but sydney will probably get another team in the next 10 years or so...How does the Sydney Saints roll off the tongue?

It doesn't neccasarilly make him a player. It will more than likely make him unattached. My advice: DON"T DO IT!

Sorry to say this, but YES there will. I just hope that the new legend is playing for the TOON ARMY!\n\nGeordies rule OK?

Well I am from New Zealand, but I have to say that the decision was correct. I think it is clear that when you say 'grand-parents', you don't mean 'great grand-parents'. The New Zealand Rugby League chairman has quite rightly resigned and, if it is shown that any other board members or the coach knew about this false declaration, then they should go too. The people to feel sorry for are the other players, but it is important that the rules of eligibility are strictly applied and that penalties are heavy enough to dissuade deliberate breaches.

If he is a naturalized Ozzie now, I don't have a problem. However if he is still legally a citizen of NZ( I think) then no, no matter how good he is he should be playing for them. I think players with dual citizenship should have to choose one way or the other because with an International Test you are supposed to be playing for and representing your country. Just my opinion.

Of course it will...he is your best player...Michael Owen if he goes will probably hamstring himself again..and the rest of the strikers are just average. But Good luck anyway !

Yes, that would be great.\nBut we all know what the result would be-the Super 14 team will beat the hell out of the Heineken Cup winner.\nEven the Western Force could take the best European teams!
