He did turn out for Quins a few times, just a few, now working in law somewhere
I believe he was competing with Travis Ismael for most impressive impact
... The loss of Welsh players playing in the Wales is a big problem and hopefully the same doesn’t happen in England. I think there is a big problem with the salary cap for all home nations teams that needs to be addressed asap.
Is there a salary cap in Wales, Scotland or Ireland?

It was under the limbo bar 😂
Goneva was an impressive signing don’t forget.
As a rookie on the IPP (International Players Pathway) he should get $10,000 per week and if he makes it to first choice elite wide receiver he can expect $15 to $20 million per year..
I can only think of 2 British players who had decent careers in the NFL - Mick Luckhurst at Atlanta Falcons, John Smith at New England Patriots. BOTH were Field Goal kickers.

A pittance compared to your own earnings, eh Dangly?
10 grand a week? Pah, Deadly's butler doesn't get out of bed for less than £12k
BB - The URC does not have a salary cap, which is why Leinster do so well.
However, the Welsh and Scottish franchises have a lot less to spend.
The WRU has imposed a salary cap on the Welsh Regions, apparently £4.5 million.
Glasgow and Edinburgh are part of the SRU, and appear to have a combined budget equal to that of Leicester or Exeter.

Yes, I didn't think so but was aware the Scots and Welsh weren't flush.
Not sure the lack of a cap matters to Irish teams - pretty sure they are all owned and funded by the IRFU who also have the top players centrally contracted.

Isn't Osi (the guy who presents the NFL coverage) from London? Won a couple of superbowls so did OK

Yes, but not ex-rugby. According to Wikipedia he's one of 5 British-born players to have won a Super Bowl.

Ah sorry. Misunderstood what you meant by “2 British players”. I read that as British NFL players.
That was SunburyQuin. 😁
You all blur into one multi-coloured, quartered blob 😆
