    Not strictly true, he did do quite a lot for NFL Europe. Not the same, granted, but some of the skills will be transferrable.

    I can't see it myself though.

    At least he's chosen the easier code

    I'd put my house on the fact that Dwain will never play first team rugby league for Castleford.

    He's there on a 1 month trial and after getting smashed a couple of times in training will realise he is dreaming.

    Super Leauge players have been battle hardened since about the age of 10 years old when they would have began the game.

    Anyone who thinks they can rock up at the age of 30 and get a game in Super League is either dreaming or on drugs!!!!!!!!

    He'd have had far more chance of making it in the game of union, which is of course populated by slow, lumbering players and punctuated with those awful, time-consuming rucks, mauls and scrums.

    Every honest player and there is a bloody lot of them will want to be the man who SMASH's the drugs cheat in to the ground, their mate or the concrete wall around the pitch.

    Thanks for the thought Dwain but see you later

    PS
    Kick and clap might be a better option, especially for england as a winger never gets a pass, in a full 5 games.
