The bench would have to be all youth players

I agree but then if you look at Union's current England squad, they've got four Kiwis, two South African's, and two former League players in there. We're at least taking some steps in our game towards gradually weening ourselves off overseas players and we just need to be patient. Reducing quotas has to happen at the same pace as we're able to develop homegrown talent to fill the void and that'll take time. We do need a strategy but it'll take as long as it takes

1 overseas player is too few. If it was possible (and it would be if clubs didn't permanently try to bend rules to squeeze in extra overseas hacks) I'd limit it to 3 per club with no exemptions, and hope to see quality over quantity.

If the NRL does get a big uplift in TV money over the next few years, this may happen anyway, as they'll be able to pay journeymen just as much as SL clubs can. They may well do this as there's a lot of talk about player burnout and the need for bigger squads to enable players to be rested during the season.

The problem is that it is against employment law to discriminate based on nationality. This is why the RFL introduced the federation trained idea.

Solid effort that.

So if it came to it, every club in the league could actually field a decent looking full matchday squad of homegrown players.

That wasn't so hard now was it?

I would have had Maggenis in there on the bench. Here is a club trained team...

OK so put in Dixon, Williams, Mc Meekin and Bishay!

Do you think I give a monkey's about what you said. I was making a point using my own free will, I couldn't care less if it meets the criteria of the thread you started.

Go wash the sand out of your vagina and come back to me when you're ready for a bit of grown up discussion mate.

Unlike Warrington who dont know the meaning of producing Warrington produced players. Big applause to Wigan and Saints in that department.

The Club Trained players argument is an interesting one,

Shame actually, There wasnt a cup competition, That could run for only club trained players. Would give the youth a chance, And reward those who promote their own youth.
