In Australia, the rival codes are at loggerheads over the snatching of test wingers Mat Rogers and Wendell Sailor.
#POMMIE PAUL CODE#
The chairman of England's Rugby Football League, Sir Rodney Walker, has asked that country's Government to cut off funding for rugby union, accusing the rival code of using that dosh to snare league stars. Unfortunately, he will now be remembered by many as the guy who got off the plane late and did not play to expectations the guy who sold out, which is wholly unfair on a talented footballer. Paul could have been a great Warrior or Kiwi. And he's a media star there, with endorsements and a hip-hop band on top of the Bulls' pay-packet. So when the Dutch auction erupted during the Kiwis-Kangaroos test week - the Canterbury Bulldogs saying they had ended negotiations with Paul because he was only trying to jack up the amount the New Zealand Rugby Football Union would pay - it was wholly predictable that he wouldn't leave England, given the lure of a salary in pounds equivalent to what he would get in dollars here or in Australia. The Warriors then spent $12,000 flying Platt's dogs to New Zealand, money that would have been better spent keeping Paul.

He was sent to Wigan so they wouldn't demand a transfer fee for Andy Platt. Paul was signed as a development player, but never appeared in the Warriors' colours. He learned early on, in his starting code, that money is all and players are interchangeable and dispensable when Warriors coach John Monie unceremoniously traded him for a tired Pommie prop. Even at the Te Atatu Roosters, where he started his jinking and jiving, there could be no shock at his dumping of the code of his childhood for the one that league supporters love to hate. By PETER JESSUP It should come as no surprise to anyone that Henry Paul went for the biggest cheque he could get.
