Signings like Jefferies and Royston are far worse IMO as they're both proven to be no more than average players yet Bradford have loaned out a promising youngster (Briggs) to make way for someone who isn't that good.'"
This is same Royston who was frontline player of round week before last?. If that's average then can we have a few more please. |

I'd heard he'd been told he could speak to other clubs. I think Morgan is a fan so we'll have to wait and see. |

Sounds a bit like something the BNP say about building jobs!
Jeffries has been a revelation since returning to Odsal.
I can see that every single one of your overseas players are world class, I mean every club in SL is after Lauaki, Moa & Obst.
Most knights fans think he's a good player, and he's turned down offers from 2 NRL clubs to come here, so it's hardly like were signing someone whos coming because he cant get a contract in the NRL.
And as mat says, I'd like a few more average players who are capable of winning player of the round! |

To be fair Moa has been a cracking signing and would get in most Superleague sides. |

Tbh I do think he's a good player, but most peoples problem with Bradford signing Lulia is that he's a "nobody" from the NRL. As its mainly Hull fans, did you/they have a problem signing a player who only ever played 1 first grade game before coming over here??
Lulia has played more than that, so on that basis he's a better signing? Seen as this is now how we judge them.
Also when Hape signed for Bulls I think he'd played about 40 first grade games (4 less than Lulia) so I think it's a bit daft judging signings by how much they've played. All the Knights fans rate him pretty highly, so thats what i'm focussing on.
Not having a dig at you btw, just at most people who think its a poor signing cos hes not played that much. |

All I will say to add to this debate is:
Rangi who?
Never heard of him before he signed for Cas.

[quote="The Reason":3e09qe5x]Hi Andy
The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

He played for St George, just because you never heard of him doesn't mean anything.

Why don't you try and develop a young English back rather than a young Kiwi one?
Just a thought.

Why if the kiwi is a better player?
Club coaches will do what is best for their club, and rightly so.
It's not the responsibility of Terry Matterson/ Mick Potter etc to develop the national team. |

And that is why England will never compete with Australia or New Zealand (or the Exiles). Ever.
Two Aussie coaches you mention there too. |
