    <p>Is it that or do they just stop developing as players when they come over here? I suspect its a little of both to be honest. </p>

      <p>They all seem to come back looking to run into contact & playing heads down rugby.</p>
      <p> </p>
      <p>If you watch Luke at Sale he was used over & over as a crash ball runner - with a lot of success. But then he came back & all he seemed to have was the crash ball into contact. Which in NZ rugby is the "well, there's nothing on so I'll do this" option, not the "this is my first option every time" thing it is in a lot of UK sides.</p>
      <p> </p>
      <p>In contrast you had guys like Nonu who certainly could run that ball, but only if the gaps weren't on. Its like 3 years up North they stop seeing space. Part of it might be you run constantly into space in the UK & then get caught the chances of your 9 & your 3 fat slow loosies getting to you in time to recycle are zero. It becomes self fufilling, players run into contact because thats where the support is, and 6's get picked as opensides because a big grunter is more useful over 80 mninutes than a fast link man / poacher, because the game is a bit tighter.</p>

        I hate this thread. Each time someone posts I open it with trepidation wondering which player is moving overseas...<br><br>
        If a RWC, the Olympics and the Lions wasn't enough of an incentive for Charles I'm not convinced he leaves £££ in NI to come back to a Super Rugby contract and a possible AB jersey.

                  <p>Of course.</p>
                  <p> </p>
                  <p>As we all know, $200,000 a year is very good by NZ standards, but in global rugby is below average.</p>
                  <p> </p>
                  <p>NZ $200,000 = 120,000 EUR</p>
                  <p> </p>
                  <p>NZ $200,000 = 95,000 GBP</p>

                      <p>We (Cardiff) have been linked with Willis Halaholo. What's he like? We need a ball carrier in midfield.</p>

                      <p>Rey Lee-Lo has done Ok this season, but Jarrad Hoeata has been a disappointment during his 2 years with us.</p>

                        A good player but never had much opportunity at super rugby level. About on a par with rey lee-Lo I would say<br><br><br>

                          <p>He is certainly a ball carrier, that's for sure, sometimes to the detriment of supporting players. </p>

                              <p>Halaholo is mostly unproven but has more upside than Lee-lo.</p>

                                He is also uncapped, which has a real value with the overseas player restrictions for Welsh Teams.<br><br>
                                Lee-Lo has been good with ball in hand but indisciplined in defence.
