Quote: HamsterChops "It's been said before, but Sheffield's fall from grace after going full time wasn't just the added expenses. A large part of it too were that when they were flying quite high, a lot of their best players were part time. When they went full time, those players who didn't want to leave their jobs left the club and ended up elsewhere (Brambani was one of them), meaning Sheffield actually got worse on the pitch.
I don't see the benefits of turning away part time players who don't want to be full time, if they improve your squad and you can manage the training properly. Certainly not outside of Super League anyway.'"
Totally agree about the Sheffield situation, the extra they were offering for full time was not good either, so a raft of them left. To be fair their situation was again the problem of one backer promising the world. Remember when they said they were probably the only club who could afford Greg Inglis haha
