It seems like this guy is just a "high school" level rugby player, pardon my Americanized words. As such, it doesn't meet the notability requirements of a Wikipedia biography. I'm a bit interested in the fact that you've contributed to a lot of rugby pages, so maybe you can upgrade this article to meet the notability requirements pretty easily :). But right now it just doesn't seem that way to me. Jonemerson 10:52, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

He is a professional player who is in the first team squad of the winner of the BBC Sports Team of year for 2006

The BBC has a sports team? By the way, a search for "Steve Bannister" on Google shows no links referring to the rugby player, so I continue to believe this article does not meet the notability requirements for a biography. Jonemerson 22:19, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
A Google search for '"Steve Bannister" "rugby league" ' does produce results for him. Perhaps this was not the case at the of searching, but it is now. Stevendavy 17 Dec 06
The BBC awards a prize for the best sports team in the United Kingdom, in any sport, as voted for my the UK public. This is then televised on national TV and has the biggest audience when broadcast. St Helens won the award and he is part of the team. It is not clear cut, but I would suggest he does just make the grade. He is certainly above high school level as he has (please excuse my attempt at Americanized lingo) been drafted into the top rugby team in the country. It has only just happened though, I imagine he will have a much higher profile in a year or two. stevendavy
