% of Wakefields squad that are overseas = 37%
% of Leeds squad that are overseas = 20%
Not as wide as I would have thought.

Classic way of avoiding the question.
To be fair, Huddersfield do have one of the best academies in the league…………
Wigan. |

Well Done, so your Academy is now starting to bear the fruits of its labour! How long has it taken??
It is funny that you were not making the same points re imports last year, or the year before or the year before that! l wonder why that was??? |

Nothing avoided old dear. Your guy said wakey had been in SL 10 years and developing a system takes time i asked how long.
Our system has been steadily improving. More international honours across age groups / better performances from 18s and reserves and the recruitment of excellent coaching staff.
I would be appalled if we were taking NRL reserve gradersafter 10 years in SL - very poor. |

When was the last time we recruited a guy with only 4/5 NRL appearances in his whole career? i am not sure this board existed back then 
Say what you like, recruiting a NRL reserve grade player after a decade in SL and with no relegation pressures is very poor. |

Feel free to start a thread on your questions. Go nuts.
This thread is about wakey signing a reserve grade overseas player after 10 or so years in SL. It is a backward step. If you think it is good for the game, so be it. |

Actually the thread has turned into the relative successes and failures of clubs to produce its own players over a given time span!
So again, l will ask, are you going to answer the questions that are relevant to this thread and about your own club? |

If you want a thread on that...start one
This thread is about a relegation free SL club of 10years or so with bags of cash (ie the Bird offer) opting to sign a reserve grader from Oz. It is shameful. |

Cut the crap troll, your parasite club (you know the one that body snatched Sheffield) has no room to talk. Even if any of your current Academy make it you will move them on and buy another Rod Jenson.
Also what do you think about Hudds getting rid of a promising British coach and replacing him with a non achieving Aussie - backwards step?
Still if you think having an Aussie coach is good for the game so be it. Shameful I call it. |

I thought this thread was you asking the RFL to stick to the criteria and not let Winterstein in because as you, in bold letters pointed out, he hadnt played for Samoa.
But wait- he has.
So instead i will make use of the fact that i made an incorrect comment and start spewing my anti Wakefield crap,just to cover up the fact i got it wrong in the first place.Thus ensuring your glaring error is lost in pages and pages of drivel.
