| Quote: Khlav Kalash "Michael Korkidas, NRL reserve grader, signed for Huddersfield, a team with a wealthy backer, superb infrastructure, an (apparently) excellent youth academy and no injury crisis. Now that is a disgrace! With your sentiments about the signing of Winterstien, you will only show yourself up to be a hypocrite if you disagree.'"
You obviously have difficulty thinking. You cannot understand the differnce between signing a reserve grade player and signing a player who was a reserve grade player many years ago who has since played many 1st grade games 
What you are unable to understand is that korki had several years 1st grade SL experience when we signed him. Every player starts in the reserve grades. The issue is should long established SL clubs resort to topping up their squad with Oz reserve grade players. Some people think it is poor and a backward step. It would seem many Wakey fans want to support it. If the Giants had 10 years continuous SL presence and they signed a Roosters reserve grader I would be appalled. |

| Quote: Fordy "Not entirely sure but you could try taking a look at Wigan who have a good youth development policy and are still running with a squad of 10 overseas players.
Amos Roberts
George Carmont
Pat Richards
Tim Smith
Thomas Leuluai
Mark Riddell
Iafeta Palea'asina
Phil Bailey
Cameron Phelps
Harrison Hansen?
Given this is a club with more money than most clubs how do they justify it? But you don't seem bothered about slagging them off, just us.'"
That does seem too many.
Now tell us which of these 9 players (Hansen grew up in the UK) had only 5 NRL games when he was signed.
While you are at it you may wish to note how many of then have:
International caps
SOO appearances
Finals /GFs experience
Been Oz young player of the year
etc
A Wigan forward not getting picked may see that feka/Bailey are tier 1 international players with many NRLgames. Also the game as a whole knows these guys are proven. |

So because you think they are proven NRL players it makes it OK for a club like Wigan who have been in SL since its inception, have never had any financial worries and never realistically had to firefight to avoid relegation to replace up and coming British youngsters with antipodeans.
Look at the players these signings are holding back, although you probably think it's OK for Wigan to do this so you can get some more of their cast-offs to make your own side look like it is promoting British talent.
My point being that Wigan are (and always have been) in a much stronger position than us to provide young British talent with a place in a SL team and they don't do it. Yet you only want to slag us off. Look around, there are worse clubs than Wakey.

Michael Korkidas, NRL reserve grader, subsequently has got worse as he has played the last five years in a 'second tier’ comp’
Do you believe that Korkidas would be a first grade player if he was back in the NRL? I am of the opinion that he would not be, therefore he is still NRL reserve grade quality…. and an import to boot, Deary me Giants, the birth place of RL, all that money and investment from a wealthy backer, a number of productive years in SL since promotion under their belt, an excellent youth academy and still signing a NRL reserve grade quality import, how disgraceful.

| Quote: The Clan "So now that Hull FC have completed the signing of Sam Moa are we to expect a barrage of criticism toward the Hull FC club.
For the record Moa is about the same age but played less NRL games last year than Winterstein.'"
yes, Hull shouldnt be signing players the quality of Moa, they should be looking at a higher quality,
however Hull themselves mitigate the the criticism by having only 5 other overseas players rather than 10 |

| Quote: Sandal Wild Cat "Name 3 openly transfer listed RL forwards of FW's quality.
There is no-one about!!!
We have a policy of buying british, we have a larger number of local lads in our team Vs Hudd, and i dare say a few better prospects than any local lads in your ranks. Jay Pitts for one my friend.
However when times need you must buy, and due to VERY unfortunate things happening to players (namely forwards) at our club we have been forced to make a signing which will give our squad greater depth, and of course quality otherwise why waste the money?
Why you feel the need to take out your own issues with the home office through slagging off another team is beyond me.'"
thats fine, but why not release/sell one of the other 10 you have to balance the books as it were? |

But thanks Hudds for taking him off our hands.'"
he is, absolutely,
but he also has the same pedigree as Frank Winterstein, 8 first grade appearances in Aus and a couple of Schoolboy caps |
