I agree with your point with Semi but Hickey is slightly different because he had agreed to sign before the start of the season but with the administration we had to re-apply for his visa so had everything gone to plan he would have been here at the start of the season.

Even so, there is still a big difference between Wakefield signing Hickey and Tadulala and loaning in Amor to Quins loaning in 7 players at the same time.

You're right, because it is better that quins are bringing in young british players on loan and giving them an opportunity that sticking with overweight never-has-been overseas players.

It would be better had you looked at Ambler on loan than Hickey, better to give lee mitchell a go than Jeremy Smith,

It would be better if more clubs looked to do that.

I would be better to have a team where the majority of the players are British rather than a team where the majority are Aussies and Kiwis but this wont stop Crusaders being saved over Wakefield.

Are you kidding? Wakefield have had ten+ years of SL and a far worse record of overseas players than Crusaders. Wakefield in their 7th year of SL played a game with 14 overseas players in the 17, Crusaders dont even have that amount in their entire squad in only their third year.

That was when the quota rules were not really in place but now there are quota rules they should be the same for everyone.

Also Wakefield beat Huddersfield at the Galpharm in 2008 with 16 of the 17 being British and earlier this season we played a game where the only 2 people in the 17 who were not British were Rinaldi and Morrison. This season Huddersfield named an entire 17 ho were all British Will Crusaders ever do this? Will they chuff.

Aaaah so when Wakefield benefited it was ok. Now it evens it up for Crusaders its terribly wrong.

Of course they will. Probably not 2 years into professional RL in Wales but in the future yes.

Why don't they just play a team of Welsh lads now? With no threat of relegation they have nothing to loose and also they may even attract bigger crowds to watch a team of welsh lads in Wales (just) rather than a team of overseas journeymen.

For the same reason Wakefield dont field a team of Wakefield born lads right now, and instead field a team with still decent amount of overseas journeymen.

There are young welsh lads coming through and more will do so.

Maybe we would if we could have kept hold of all of our players instead of the big clubs coming in a taking them.

There is a team of players who all came through the Wakefield academy who are all still playing and if you ask me they would make a competitive team. Lets compare thsi team with a team made up of players who have come through the Crusaders and Quins academies.

That team would get absolutely destroyed, every single week.

I beg to differ and I think most people would agree with me.

Are you for real. That team is much better than the current one which has managed 6 wins
