P\ufeffhil Gould<\/a> has earmarked one Super League<\/a> talent who could "easily" make the jump to the NRL<\/a> in the coming years – but clubs will need to do some work to land him.<\/p>\n

There have been mixed results when it comes \ufeffto English players transitioning to the Australian competition, as opposed to those who head in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n

Players such as Sam Burgess<\/a> and Adrian Morley dominated during their time Down Under, while more recently the likes of Dom Young and Herbie Farnworth have lit up the NRL.<\/p>\n

On the flip side, Sam Tomkins and Ryan Hall struggled to make their mark in the NRL \ufeffdespite being regarded as some of the best players in England at the time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

However, according to the current Bulldogs head of football, there's one man who is already on the radar of NRL clubs and could be destined for big things in the future.<\/p>\n

\ufeff"There's a boy playing for Wigan, big back-rower, Junior Nsemba," Gould said on Wide World Of Sports' Six Tackles With Gus<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

"I think he's signed for a few years at Wigan, but I'd like to be assured at some stage of his career he will come out to Australia and I think he will be very good.<\/p>\n

"He's a similar sort of build, similar sort of frame [as Newcastle rookie Kai Pearce-Paul] and I really like him.<\/p>\n

"He's on contract for a few years and he's only young, but I think he's a player who could easily come to Australia."<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old was part of the successful Wigan side last season and has continued to make strides this year for the second-placed team.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nsemba is an imposing figure at 195cm tall and given his early success overseas, it could only be a matter of time before Aussie teams come knocking at his door.<\/p>\n

Gould also highlighted two Super League standouts who will make the jump next year, included a player returning home after reviving his career in the UK.<\/p>\n

"I do watch a fair bit of it, I've got an interest in it," he said.<\/p>\n

"We've got Tom Amone coming back to the Bulldogs for next season.<\/p>\n

"South Sydney have got the halfback, Lewis Dodd, coming out here next year."\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
