Your right but, is this not the case for every popular sport, i.e- football, rugby union and the like? Not saying it's right but thats the way sport is and i can't see it changing anytime soon.

As a supporter of a club that seems to find all sorts of ways to have more overseas players than necessary I would agree that the quota rules need to be tougher not abandoned. Personally I would link the SL grant to the number of European developed players (I think it would be good to see more Welsh, French etc players in SL for the good of the Int game) on a direct % basis ie:

1-4 non European trained = 100% of grant
5-7 = 75% of grant
8-10 = 50% of grant
10+ = 25% of grant

That way clubs can decide what they want to do but know that there would be financial consequences. The money not taken up by clubs who decided they would rather have more overseas players could be pumped back into jnr development by the RFL.

Having said that the ridiculous decision by the RFL to exempt Crusaders players from the quota shows they aren't really that serious about it so if the governing body don;t care why should the clubs?
