Not really from here, just a few texts I've recieved today saying he'll get smashed all over, the big soft get.

It could be just the shot in the arm the game needs right now, a high profile convert. I say good luck to them and him if he decides to chance his arm at league.

i'd rather we signed Dwain Chambers

He's not good enough to play League although he is a very good kicker

How can you say he's not good enough to play Rugby League?, I personally believe he would make a cracking Half Back or Centre, He is a very good tackler, has the ball handling skills and a great boot on him injuries apart he would make a definite Super League player IMO and i'd love to see him come to Rugby League and as said earlier it would get good publicity for the Sport...

He's up to his elbows in.......


.......... Charlotte.

As a Wales and Ospreys supporter I can say, in my opinion, that he doesn't have the speed, fitness or upper body strength to play in super league. Also in the last season, and internationals, his positional sense seems to have dissapeared. He is an OK tackler by Union standards and I also don't think that that would be good enough for a super league centre. And I don't know how you have come to the conclusion that he would make a cracking half back as his performances at ten are dire at best. If Super League wants a quality Welsh back it would then Lee Byrne or Jamie Roberts are the best options.

I havent really seen him play since Rugby Union bores the hell out of me, but as far as im concerned I dont really care if he makes Paul Sykes look like an amazing centre in comparison, the signing of Henson would be massive for Celtic just for PR reasons.

[iOn 10 December 2007, Henson was charged along with three other men with disorderly conduct after alleged "rowdy" behaviour while they were travelling on the 19:37 First Great Western train from London Paddington to Cardiff on 2 December 2007. They had been summoned to appear at Cardiff Magistrates' Court on 14 January 2008, but the case against Henson was later dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service due to insufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction.

On 01 April 2009, it was reported on the BBC that Henson was cautioned by police "in relation to the incident" following an investigation of assault at a premises in Cardiff's Mary Street on February 15.[/i


He sounds like an ideal rugby league player already. An actual conviction would have sealed the deal.

I can't argue with the PR reasoning. But a better PR option would be Shane Williams IRB player of the year who has expressed an interest in league. A much better player than heson who can play wing fullback and scrum half with a much better PR record. Now I'd pay to see him in a crusaders shirt

Who is he?

The best RU player in the world

Its only you and I who have picked up on this!

In Award Only Not On Recent Form, Tends To Fumble The Ball A Lot Too, On His Day Though He Is A Truly Inspiring Player...

I'd rather have Jim Henson!!!!!!!

didn't williams say that claim was made up, and he actually thinks that league would be to tough/hard for him ?

.....mmmmmm Charlotte Church

Well that is your opinion and you've already seen my opinion, If a player has been plagued by the injuries it's hard to instantly get the consistency back, Lee Byrne i agree with yes i rate him very highly he's a fantastic player and has past Rugby League experience with the Bridgend Blue Bulls, Jamie Roberts is a great attacking player and very powerful but although a good defender can be suspect (caught out) in defence at times i think this was demonstrated by John Smit on Saturday...

In a strange sort of way I would love to see Henson give RL a crack, I think he would do ok. His Union game style does seem to rely on the guy to his side a little but I think he would work well in League for some reason

Muppet...

Do you still need a work permit when coming over from Wales ?

That would be back to Dwain Chambers then ....

any reasonably high-profile Union convert would be a boost IMO - the less league is seen as some kind of feeder comp for Union the better.

I can see the attraction for the PR guys. Our own Rugby League version of Posh and Becks.....there's nice!

But who would realistically take a punt on Mr Henson and the sort of salary he would be asking?

Forget Crusaders, they know their Rugby Union down in that part of the world, and I honestly can't see them turning out in any great numbers to watch him having a run out at League.

I wouldn't mind seeing him having a go, but in these financially straitened times it would be a hell of a gamble.
