[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: Charlie Sheen "ATEOTD the NRL is the premiere rugby comp in the world, leaving that comp also means leaving the opportunity of playing SOO, and playing against the best players in the game every week. It also means leaving the lifestyle. The salary cap needs increasing, but there's no money in the game to do it. It's a sad state of affairs, but the game simply doesn't have the money within it to keep the best players here at the moment.'" This is the natural course of things taking effect, this is why people have been saying for years that the sport desperately needs to expand, things will continue to get worse into we can get into more relevant cities and regions. Imagine how good English soccer would be if there was no presence in major cities and all the teams were in places like Grimsby and Crewe etc, the sport would be left behind in an instant and that is effectively the situation in RL. |

| Quote: roopy "I think the upcoming world cup gives the ESL a chance to change their criteria and it would be very good for the game in the long run.
I believe you can recruit players who have played international games, and teams like Lebanon, Italy, PNG, USA, Fiji and others will use dozens of players who are either fringe NRL players, or NSW and Qld cup standard.
If the ESL drops the number of regular NRL players for teams and increases the number of international players, you will get a lot of the players who build up a high profile in the WC and are good enough to play ESL as it stands now.
It obviously isn't ideal that exchange rates mean the NRL now has a lot more money than the ESL, but giving a lot of international players the chance to develop a profile and train as full time professionals will be good for the code, and the ESL will look a lot more interesting with a bunch of Fijians, Papuans, Tongans etc.'"
Good points. |

Aparantly LE say Wakefield have signed Huby and Allgood. Combined with Fifita, England and Hirst that's on massive F/R. Not a guarantee of success but if it click will take some stopping. All 6'3"+ and all 17++ stone.
Be interesting to see if this gamble on size and grunt pays off.
Assuming the LE has it right of course.

Indeed also noticed the NRL has become size obsessed again with props, some very heavy units playing very well last year. |

Would be delighted if true. Our backs were our biggest strength last year so if we can make them even more space behind a big pack then we should be in for a good year hopefully. Only issue I would have with the squad would be hooker but that can't be helped. |

He also said that Tom Briscoe wasn't signing for them. |

Good signing for Hudds that. He's had a great stint with Scotland in the 4 nations this year. |

Told you he was a good player 
Bit jelous tbh thought he was coming home but I think a great four nations saw to that. Still I'll take Huby if true. |

Yes you did - several times. Westerman would have been a slightly better option though.

Wakefield have confirmed the signing of Huddersfield prop Craig Huby.
Lot of players leaving the Giants what's going off not looking to good at the min for 2017 for the Giants.

Most have been agreed by Stone as he wants to strip the team back and build his own squad, it seems Huby requested this move on his own though and Hudds were planning on keeping him |
