Pretty sure that's the plan, hence the conditional release. Don't know enough about the sport to comment on whether he'll make it, but I'd imagine he'd do well as a Punter.
WAC. Doesn't he know the rules? High profile players are meant to win a premiership before switching codes.
He is an absolute clown if he is deciding to go over there now as a punter. My Money is he is going to try be a Corner/Specialist returner...
If he chooses Running Back he'll be looking for a desk job in no time, injured and unsuccessful after a year playing stadium football...
I'd reckon, ignoring punters, The best prospects would be athletic second rowers and turning them in to ILB's or else some of these quick big bodied wingers could make good strength receivers.
I'm not shocked at the move, just the timing. There were all those rumours floating around last contract negotiation iirc.
