The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.

In my opinion its a half cooked idea, its not going to retain or obtain top quality players, it needs to be a minimum of £200k and £300k respecitively to give it some credability.

[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg |

| Quote: headhunter "Andrew Johns is arguably the greatest player of all time and was only signed because of a loophole that meant he could come here after the NRL season was finished. Clubs aren't going to be signing players like that.'"
We probably won't, I agree, but you never know. It does disprove your point that individual players won't grow crowds though. Some will. Whether we can get those players with this new ruling we shall see... |

I would have thought that the money being spent on Marquee players would have been better spent on junior development, not some over the hill player from the NRL looking for a last big payday.

If you spend it on the right player, they can generate more money and you can have both. It's not always one or the other. |

There's the top 34 players in the world today(excluding England players). Given that a couple of the roos above will not play for their country again, who of them are:
a/ Worth 500k a year
b/would be tempted by 500k a year
c/ are worth sacrificing youth development for
d/would add the required 2,000 bums on seats to pay their 500k wage?

If Koukash brings over someone like Shaun Johnson, and yes he could easily afford it, it would certainly provide a massive boost to the game.
I'm really looking forward to seeing who comes over. Great news.

1. Koukash didn't appear on any top 100 rich list
2. 2nd rate/over the hill Anzacs is what you'll get.....
3. NRL Players of contract for 2016.......none of them would add an ounce of media exposure

E)your last rolo
F)a video of a gorrilla/bear knife fight
G)worth sacrificing a Virgin to feathered snake God quetzalcoatl
H)would solve all the problems not just in the game but in the entire world, including but not limited to the isreali/Palestinian conflict, the growth of ISIS, the career prospects of Howard from the Halifax ads and my hayfever
Cos until there are players out there worth that and who will solve those problems I don't think we should pay anyone at all. Not just rl player but for goods and services and everyone's wages.

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

| I'm the type of fan that like to watch RL on TV and will attend maybe 10 or more games a year. Would attend more but work and Saints home games clash.
From the list of players from Jim Pooley, I recognised

'"
I would kindly suggest that some of those were a bit of a guess as to whether I really did recognise the names. So in terms of pulling in fans who have given up on the game, your talking about maybe less than 10.
Overall I'm slightly for the change. But I don't think one player will be a huge factor in determining the results over a season. |
