Anyone think it will work?

Alfie is a fantastic player.



If he does join us, he will do very well.



I've admired him as a player for Cardiff Blues and Wales for a long time

Would be a huge challenge for someone who has achieved alot in Union to switch codes at the age of the 35.



Its good to hear Harris mention the cost involved & the desire to play our game as I'm guessing a few Union players down in the valley's might be looking to cash in.

Where do you see him playing? Wing or Centre?



Could be a gamble on a guy who is 35 and is going to have to adapt to playing Rugby League

I would prefer to see him in the centres as I don't think he is fast enough for the wing.



He is a pretty tidy full back too though!



Yes he is old, but he is a fantastic RUGBY player. He will bring far more positives to the Crusaders than negatives if he does join us.



A great ambassador for EITHER code in my opinion

When will he make his debut?

Think the article says the move could be completed as early Friday.



I doubt, if the move happens, that he would make his debut for a week or two as he's going to need to adjust to league.



So I doubt we will be seeing him this weekend.

If he was 25 he'd struggle adapting but 35 ? I can't see him being more than just publicity. Hope he proves me wrong but can't see it

It's just a signing to get bigger crowds in and generate some publicity.



How can anyone expect a 35 year old union player to adapt to RL.

Agreed, just look at Rauhihi for example, 36 when he retired and still hadn't got the hang of it.

I`m sure he`ll have his own ideas of where he`d like to play.
