Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?: |

The worst thing is, it probably won't.
Mason's a decent player and so are Galea and Newton. Dobson's your best player and no one has heard of Green so I won't comment on him however Clinton is average, Lovergrove is average, Fisher is way below average, Websters been average for you, Vella is shot, |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

10 out of the first choice 17 born outside the UK which IMO is shocking, to have more overseas players than Englishmen in the 17. Only two players who were brought through their academy too. This is up by 3 on the number they started this season with too. I know Salford are guilty of this too however they seem to be bringing through their own quality youth (Myler, Ratchford etc..) and also Crusaders though they are a newly formed club.
My question is, when does a club stop being 'just promoted and needing to have a few extra Aussies' to needing to do a whole lot better than they are.'"
Nitpicking I know , but which club did Myler come from again ?  |

TBF I thought it only fair since I included Liam Watts and Welham who came from other teams too .

Our 19 man squad for today Talau, Tyrer, Sneyd, M. Smith, Cashmere, J. Smith, Neal, Sibbit, Littler, Swain, Owen, Leuluai, Parker, Jewitt, Sidlow, Boyle.
So that's 5 players out of the 19 man squad who are over seas. |

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

It's an utter disgrace. We should all be shot. Now, with Spud Guns until very deaded.

and would you feel; the same if they missed out on the playoffs, finishing 9th with Crusaders finishing 8th?
this will be your 5th season in SL, to need 10 overseas players in your 17 is pathetic |

Whats even more shocking about Hull KRs line up is that all the aussies are journeymen with the exception maybe of Mason.
At least wigan sign half decent aussies.

Still got far too many to say all their fans do is brag about all the brilliant young players they have.
Ignoring Crusaders for a minute, who has the most overseas players next year? Salford, KR or Wigan? |

Gonna be KR isnt it. They're not a bad side but it's proven time and time again that the best teams all have very good local players, a few very good imports and more decent British players filling out the squad with depth. Who was the last team to win a title that didnt have 4 or 5 very very good locally developed players in the 17

Like that well known Journeyman Ben Galea?
Can you remind me his total appearances for Wests? |
