Stephen is a world class player and has made a fantastic contribution to Australian rugby. He will play an important role leading up to, and during the 2007 Rugby World Cup.
I think he'll go very well in rugby, I think he'll be sensational in rugby and he'll have a great future.
I have no doubt that he is ready for England . Some of the rugby out there today was of Test match intensity.
He's the right age, he's 24, he's arguably the best rugby league centre in the world, and I think he'd be a fair acquisition to our game if everything lines up.
George is definitely a talented player and someone who has so much to offer Australian Rugby now, and in the future.
