Quote: Howardposner "There are twelve teams in Super League. Each are allowed five imports. That means there are a potential of 60 overseas players starting each week. Reduce this number (and the number in the Championship) and this will start to reduce the gap as each teams have to develop talent and narrow the gap on the pitch between squads. An old hobby horse of mine but one I still believe in.'"
I don't understand this theory.
Some clubs will be better at developing talent than others. Just like some clubs are better at recruiting overseas players than others. The best junior talent will continue to be attracted to the clubs with more money. As they are now.
I appreciate the need to improve the UK player pool - but as a way of equalizing the competition ?
Pie in the sky.
And I'm a firm believer in the concept of pies.
