| The farcical RFL approach to overseas players is once again on show
How has Hep cahill been given a visa for the Crusaders? Who at the RFL approved this..and why?
This bloke managed around 5 1st team games last year. In a team with nothing to play for and with a great opportunity to 'blood' new players Cahill gets 5 games.
He has never played for an international team. The best he has managed is an appearance for the 'ethnic' maoris.
A couple of years ago wakey signed Winterstein. That was a farce but even he had played proper international rugby.[A player who is now also at the Crusaders].
bringing in a NRL fringe player with very limited 1st team rugby and no international experience is a joke.

[quote="The Reason":3e09qe5x]Hi Andy
The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

| Crusaders don't follow the same Quota rules as their a new franchise.
Cahill getting a visa has nothing to do with the RFL.
There's plenty of overseas 'stars'' in SL who haven't got international caps.

| He's a better import than many others in SL. Being a fringe player at the Storm last year still puts him ahead of plenty of other imports currently playing. Ingerlund didn't mind picking a fringe Storm player in its Test team last year.

| If this Cahill bloke was English (or Welsh..) this thread would have looked so much different. There’s probably English players in super league that around the same standard or even worse than him. Yet where are them threads asking for them to be replaced by better talent?
It is nothing but mild racism and a local jobs for local people agenda once again. When people go on the pitch I don’t care about where they come from. I just care about how good they do on the day.
People should get in the side on the basis of how good they are and not on the basis of where they are from. Leeds Rhinos for one have benefitted from signings that we’re of similar vain to what the OP is detesting above. Cahill has obviously been seen as someone who can improve the Crusaders side so let’s wait and see what he does and then judge him.

| I don't know how good he is, but there's piles of decent young british 2nd rows knocking round. I'm sure Crusaders could have picked up a savvy loan signing until the end of the season and saved a few pennies.

So what you are saying then is its a farce to sign proper internationals It would appear that you have a bee in your bonnet about the Crusaders and their overseas players, and while your at it your having a dig at Wakey to endorse your point.

Cant really see the racism point. I personally dont have too much of a problem with it, but it is hardly promoting development of rugby league in wales signing and filling a team with average aussies instead of blooding the welsh youngsters
