| Quote: Dico "Graham, Wilkin and Cunningham wasn't it?
And my god didn't they moan, the argument has real credibility but there's just nothing they can do other than be well rested by the coach.'"
those 3 moaned about the Magic Weekend - and Wilkin had a whinge about cameras being in the dressing room at the GF.
Never to my recollection has any Saints player complained about having to play in the GF depsite winning the league. It would be slightly ironic seeing as though Saints were the first team to win the GF after not finishing top of the league.

im not going to waste time with links.
im guessing you just forgot the comments in the wake of leeds beating you in the GF.'"
as i've said, all the players named (except Wilkin) have benefited from the GF and play off system rewarding the team not finishing top becoming champions.
Pryce benefitted more than any other, in 2005 when Bradford finished 3rd in the league and won the GF.
So unless you can provide links/quotes - stop making things up.

| Wilkin has voiced his opinion about how the team finishing top of the league should be given more prominence and that the playoffs are too heavily weighted

I dont remember that, but even if it did happen - it is hardly on the scale of"the saints players who used to whinge about having to play in the GF after coming first in the league"[/i

He said"We should make more of the team that finishes top after the regular season,
"It's almost neglected and I find that embarrassing. I saw hardly any publicity about the fact Leeds won the league and don't understand why that's the case. It's almost like 'let's snub the league leaders' so we can celebrate the Grand Final more."'"

Which isn't what the moaning get above stated. That is Wilkin moaning that LEEDS didn't get the credit for finishing top.

Quite, it is clarifying what Hopie said, which was what I was referring to

46042.jpg [quote="Bonzo":23qz4bj5]Corrected.
Incidentally, an exclamation mark ends a sentence and does not require a full stop. The first letter of the next word begins a new sentence and should therefore be capitalised. [i:23qz4bj5]Who needs flankers[/i:23qz4bj5]' grammar was actually correct.
HTH.

| If you reduce the number of teams to 10 then how would the new kids break through? There would be huge competition for squad places. You would also probably have a club squad outside the top league which would be a better side than all but 3 of the national squads in the world! Madness!
Less games = shorter season = people cancelling their sky sports subscription earlier = Less money.
I think he's had 1 too many blows to the head!

| Agree with Mild Rover that the number of games each player plays in should be limited.
That would ensure clubs developed their youth system fully so the younger players coming in would be of the right calibre.
If the number of games for each player was limited clubs could play more games!

In theory, if player burnout is a major issue, then the international players could perhaps be limited to 20 games per season with the RFL (that is if they ever started crapping money) compensating the clubs with the wages of the players when they are unavailable because of such a limit.
This would ensure the best players are ‘protected’ from playing too many games without taking a pay cut and the youngsters waiting to take the places of the top players get their chance. It also removes the possibility of smaller clubs saving their best players for when the play each other and then resting players when they play Leeds which a blanket 20 game limit wouldn’t.
But this is only in theory, I’ve no idea whether this would ever be viable.

Or ask for his contract to be renegotiated and go part-time.

| To be honest.
I'd like to see two more subs added to the bench.
It would mean less game time for certain players who are being run into the ground, we all know who they are but I'd like to see a requirement that two must be under 21/3/whatever
