Put feelers out in the Aussie media that you would like to play in the Super League and it is amazing how they get a better contract down under to stay.

Very much. Many rumours eminate from agents trying to get a better / improved deal for their client and or course a bigger payday for themselves.

That aside, he's a solid 100% player. Don't think he's got SOL's ball handling skills but reckon he'll thrive in SL and be an asset to us.
Actually it is a Dads Army play on words when they call Simon Cpt Mannering.....Aussies and kiwis were big fans of that classic show.
There are ditties on the NZWarriors site about the time Brad Fittler ran down Sam Tomkins

" Who do you think you're kidding Mr Fittler......Lewis Brown went to Penrith town in twenty one and two....


Ends with " If you think Old Pomkins is done "
