How many times do the current u18's train in sl?

Th ebudgets that high because the perth reds are trying to prove their fit for the NRL, how much are other u18's side budgeting for?

$300,000 is a massive amount of money. But when you consider that NRL clubs actually fly in players interstate to train on a Friday evening, then play on a Saturday before getting flown back, you can see how they treat what is considered the better of the players in Oz. Other clubs in the NSW SG Ball (u18s) comp are not in the NRL, like Norths, Central Coast, Western Sydney, WA Reds, Illawarra, Balmain, Wests.

It's no surprise that the ones in bold finished in the bottom 4.

My thoughts presactly.

Think Daniel Anderson was referring to RL in general, not just St Helens.

Hanley, Schofield, Kevin Ward, Lee Crooks, Shaun Edwards, Steve Hampson, Chris Bibb, Deryck Fox, Lee Jackson, Kelvin Skerrett, plus Paul Newlove and Gary Conolly (talking of centres) all great players not one an RU import. (I could name more)
What do these players have in common apart from being great players? They all had spells in Australia.
That is the way forward. Plus competitive games. There are too many easy games. Because we don't have P&R. Bring it back, it'll settle down again and the lower clubs will bridge the gap in class.
WE lost the series to Australia in 1990 on the back of one bad ref's decsion at Old Trafford. If that decision (obstruction on Gibson) had gone our way we'd have won the game and the series - that's how clsoe we were. Close in 1992, inj Oz and in the World Cup final same year. Same in 1995.

The answer is simple


Make Garry Scholfield the RL Supremo

so we never had easy games and blowouts when we last had relegation. Who you kidding?

Even in a 10 team league we still gonna get blowouts as we don't have 10 strong teams.

Honestly some people are living in a dream world. Going on like P&R is gonna solve all the problems.

i'd love to get rid of the poor teams in SL which just makes so many games a dire spectacle and with a rise in high intensity games we'd hopefully see an improvement in the national team. Get rid of your wakefields, hull kr (who are one of the worst for bringing over average aussies), london, widnes and stick em into the second division with clubs their own size who they can compete with using their academies

New to rl?

As shocking as this may be it is still the best idea by far

No, no its not.

We can't have Schofield as RL supremo because it's more important that we appoint him to the England coaching job.

New to sarcasm ?
