Quote: vastman "Still not answering my question.

Please justify Hudds getting rid of a promising young BRITISH coach in favour of another Aussie hack.

I think it is a disgrace and a backward step for our game - please discuss.'"


nathan brown a hack icon_lol.gif

Quote: Marsdengiant "The fact that so many of you want to defend having a high no of overseas players + signing a reserve grader from the NRL suggests support. This after 10yrs in SL.'"


I'm more than happy with it as this kind of player only exists in NZ and the South Sea islands which is why so many play in the NRL.

I'm getting the feeling you're getting a bit jealous and fear we may have bagged a good one, and a young one. How insecure of you.

Still you have SmokeyTA backing you up so with credible support like that you have some solace. icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

Answer the question, should a young British coach have been sacked to make way.

You can't answer it can you, because if you do it will show you up for the fake you are.

Stop lying to suit.

Never said Winterstien was better, I said he might and I did say might bring more to the British game. A bit like a young Henry and Robbie Paul did and in a way countless overpaid Aussies haven't (especially at Leeds ironically).

Ferguson was listed 2008 in the top 50 best young players in World RL. As this list was mainly Aussies then any British player in it has to be highly rated. It wasn't my list luv and it's not my fault you can't live with it.

no, a british coach shouldnt have been sacked to make way,

but that isnt what happened, a british coach was sacked because his results werent good enough, and out of the people who applied Nathan Brown was the best

Both our british coaches, and our british players are improved by being coached by quality coaches like brown and Mclennan and anderson

and the analogue isnt Wakefield bringin in a top quality player, its bringing in a reserve grade player, would it be acceptable for Hudds to sack Sharp to bring in someone like John Dixon? no

Quote: Marsdengiant "When we signed him he had extensive 1st grade rugby.

If the Giants signed a NRL reserve grader - no matter how good - I would not defend the club.'"


So let me get this right!

Wakey signed Korky as a NRL reject! You would/did no doubt slag off the signing........he plays 4 years in SL.......gets worse year on year......the giants then sign him, but you see nothing wrong with that??

Is that correct??

In Springfield, they're eating the dogs, the people that came in. They're eating the cats! They're eating the pets!:18686.jpg



I think all Wakey fans need to leave this discussion alone.

After all, they are arguing against two posters who have serious issues with W.T.R.L.F.C. I couldn’t possibly begin to imagine what they are, but they must be very deep seated, and so disturbing.

To their glee, they have been aided by a Leeds fan, who believes, they are now the blueprint for modern RL, after so many years of underachieving. God I wish that pitiful soccer team would improve, so we can once again, have a rational debate.

Quote: SmokeyTA "icon_lol.gif

you're are probably the most unintentionally hilarious person i have ever coversed with
See you're lying again to cover up your endless gaffs.

Note the expression "I suspect" - that is the key. I have no way of knowing if this reserve grade Samoan International will be a success anymore than I knew whether the Paul brothers would. What is sad is that neither do you but your sheer arrogance and pomposity leads me to believe you think you do. What you can't seem to accept is that a no name can become a big name and a big name can become a nobody overnight. Would you like me to list the Leeds players who have fallen into this catagory.

Willie Poching is a classic example - a dozen games for a one season stop gap club Hunter Mariners. Had it not been for the SL war he would have played no more than a handful of NRL games. He came to the UK joining Hunslet then being picked up by Wakey at the age of 24 I believe. Now where did he go after that and how many of that cubs players did he rob of a chance. Poching was every bit a reserve grade player when he came to SL, would you care to dismiss him as a player who gave a lot to SL?

In terms of playing pedigree the younger Winestien has a better history, Easts and the Bulldogs with 5 appearances and an Aussie Schoolboy player to boot. He has been released by the Bulldogs to ease their cap, they were by all accounts only willing to release him to SL and not another NRL club - what does that suggest?

As for Ferguson, no one has said he is the best young player in the world or the UK. The fact that you assume he is a decent player just shows how fake your opinions are. You see no one at Wakefield has seen enough of him in SL to make such a claim so how you manage it beggers belief. He is a prospect and the original point way back was not how good he was or wasn't but how we as Wakey fans should push his case like Cas fans push Westermans. Of course this is lost to you in your blind desperation to have a poke at him.

As for not being the best in his position, pray tell, what do you think his normal position is?

Quote: SmokeyTA "im arguing that that is the case, and criticising them for taking the easy route to the detriment of the sustainability of the league as a whole



it should be tough cookies, Wakefield have shown that without severe penalties, they wont look to youngsters, or brits, this is their 11th overseas player for the year, they have to do better



well thats more than most of your fans who seem happy to watch a team of antipodeans but why is it next season? which is you're twelfth in SL, it seems a pretty arbitrary point at which to start demanding they cut down on overseas players! why not this season, or last?'"


and if you do, how would you counter the argument that Wakefield simply arent a sustainable SL entity?

My point refers to the above.

Where you question the sustainability of Wakefield.

Just out of interest,why is the amount of Antipodeans detrimental to the sustainability of the league as a whole??

I can see it is a problem for the national team,but not for the league as a whole.

Roughly half the England squad were coached by McClennan and Anderson at club level and coached by an Antipodean at national level,i didnt see any sign of improvement at the world cup.

Are you getting that feeling? fascinating.

A discusion on Wakey resorting to signing NRL reserve graders and you need to tell other people how you feel they feel. This sums up your rugby knowledge. While you are at it why not tell us what you feel Winterstein is feeling - it's all you are good for. icon_lol.gif
