this is an excerpt from an articcle from bbc sports about jordan tansey. luckily for us, it looks like he will be staying at bondi if we offer him a new contract - which we deffinatley should IMO after his current one expries.
Tansey on the up down under
Tansey also believes his move to Australia may prompt a fresh exodus from Super League, with players keen to chance their arm in the NRL.
"I'm sure some of the other Rhinos boys will get a chance to try and make it here, too, especially now that I've come over at a young age," he said.
"I reckon my move will change a lot of players' opinions about moving. Now I think we will see a lot more of the younger lads deciding to give it a go."
Tansey is due to stay at Sydney for two years and then head back to Leeds, who have retained his registration. But it must be hugely tempting to remain on Bondi Beach.
"I'm due back at Leeds in 2011, but if Sydney offered me another deal it would be very hard to turn down," he admitted.
"I'll be back in Super League one day, but whether that is next season or in five years' time, who knows? I'd hope when I do come back I'll be able to play for the Rhinos again. "
If Leeds do take Tansey back, they will find a very different man to the one who flew to the Roosters.
"I have grown and matured as a person as well as a player," he said. "Being away from your family on the other side of the world makes you grow up pretty quick. And I do really miss a nice cold pint of Yorkshire bitter!"
