How come DEgsy missed him? Heads will roll at Leigh!!!!!

He is 38 in February!

Publicity stunt, will be amazed if he plays a game.

He must need some beer money!

Media were creaming themselves over this Yawnion has been. He’ll be sat on his arse with a hell of a hit in his first game then we’ll not see him again. Waste of time.

Ottawa?

No geography expert but can't work out why Llanelli constitutes West Wales.

Bit pedantic, what would you prefer - South West Wales Raiders?

Split Wales down the middle and they're in the West.  Simple as.

They've now signed Rangi Chase!

Spelly.

Could be a dangerous combination. Not sure about on the pitch though!

Seriously, whoever is behind these moves at the West Wales Raiders should be commended and fully supported by the RFL. Probably created more RL interest in the local area than SBW signing for TWP, with all the expense and hype attached - and the chances are once the game re-starts they will offer more on the pitch than SBW!.

At a time when RL is honouring the Welsh RL legends - the Cardiff Bay RL Codebreakers - surely the RFL should be asking whether a successful (in relative terms) expansion in Wales would be better for UK RL than an even bigger "pie in the sky" international expansion in North America.

Maybe the point is that Rangi will produce moves that they won't have seen anywhere, certainly not on a RU field. And that might encourage converts.
