Had to laugh at the end comment. http://www.stuff.co.nz/4685056a10713.htmlWendell Sailor is poised to walk out on the final year of his contract with St George Illawarra to join the Celtic Crusaders in the UK Super League.
The Sydney Morning Herald understands the 34-year-old winger has become a target of the Welsh club, which will be elevated to the Super League next year.
Sailor has one season left of his $300,000 two-year deal with the Dragons but it is believed the club will not stand in his way if he wants to finish his career with a lucrative contract overseas.
He has recently been linked with French rugby union and making a 12-week cameo appearance during the NRL off-season.
While the Dragons were prepared to let him explore that opportunity, it is believed negotiations have reached a stalemate between player and club because it wants Sailor to return before Christmas.
But sources say the veteran dual international is likely to join the exodus to the UK after one season back in rugby league following his two-year cocaine ban.
"Who are they?" said Dragons chief executive Peter Doust when asked if he knew about Sailor playing for the Crusaders.

Re: Celtic after Sailor
Further down the same page is the interesting news that Catalans hooker Aaron Gorrell has signed for Brisbane Broncos. He has been excellent for the "Dragons" and will be missed badly by them next season imo
Meanwhile, Brisbane have lured former St George Illawarra hooker Aaron Gorrell back to the NRL as a replacement for their departing rake Michael Ennis.
Gorrell, currently at French-based Super League club Catalans Dragons, has agreed to a one-year deal with the Broncos, briefly reversing the trend of players ditching the NRL for the increased money on offer in Europe.
