| Quote: Mild Rover "There are plenty of rough diamonds out there, but you can't fill a whole squad with them.'" You have very very few
Quote: Mild Rover " You need sometimes to sign quality, proven players. Where we have failed, if failure it is, is in not signing more players like Shaun Briscoe or Peter Fox. '" you mean proven british players lke Briscoe and Fox?
Quote: Mild Rover "Top British players aren't available often. Of this year's 4 nations squad, only Shenton moved clubs.'" plus other internationals like Diskin,
Quote: Mild Rover "The connection between using experienced antipodeans and not giving British kids a chance is false and a bit annoying. It is experienced British players of proven quality that our squad is short on, not rough diamonds.'"
Rubbish, your squad is short on british players of any persuasion, experienced, young and 'rough diamonds'
You havent brought in the likes of Shenton or Diskin because you have spent more on overseas players, and you havent brought in the likes of Amor, Coady, Hardaker, Kettlewell, for the same reason you havent brought through many academy players, because it is easier to sign an NRL failure. |

OK.....here we go AGAIN.
1. Re-read the thread title. If you want to bitch about imaginary hand outs etc then start another thread. I miss the old "BLAME lONDON' threads we used to get from you flatearth lot...they were fun. This thread is about overseas players.
2. You earned your SL status....but you have had "special" dipensations on overseas players...so your progress has been assisted by the RFL......and that's a fact unlike imaginary cash injections.
3.In 2000, I believe that the London Broncos had 9 overseas players in their squad. Regardless of if you want to count back to Fulham, the crusaders, or any other incarnation, the fact remains that 20yrs or 5 years after our inception...we had less overseas players than a team with a proud 130+ yr history......
4. In 1997, we finished 2nd in SL. We did this with 11 overseas players in the squad......1 more than you have now.
5. In 2003 and 2005 we made the play-offs with 7 overseas players each time......3 less than you have now.
6. Since SL started, there have been 22 teams that have taken part in the comp.......of the 8 that are no longer in the comp, which ones would you have replace us? Widnes? Possibly...they are a proper RL club with an academy set up in place whllst in the Championship....and a pretty good one at that. Of the others....leigh, oldham, Paris, Sheffield, Halifax, Workington and Gateshead...do you believe that these are a better option than London? I mean to say....we don;t even hold the record for the lowest average gates in a season.....I believe that Halifax, Workington and Paris are debating that stat. So whilst we have no fans to speak of (see point 1)...we have never finished in a relegation position and only Widnes and Catalans fans can debate that topic with any authority.
7. How many HKA academy products have been capped by England/GB since 1996? How many have scored 4 tries in an England international since 1996.
8. Your argument that you have had to live in the shadow of SL carries no water if you continue to state that we were created in 1980........so what date do you want to use?
9. Please...before you reply re-read the thread title and turn off your  button 
Cracking thread.......

er.....have you taken the lid of all your marker pens at once?
Harlequins Rugby League is a real club.....you win points off us in games, we win points of you...it doesn't get more "real" than that.
Not long to go now!

| makes no difference roofs...we will fold and reform as many times as we like. Being the Bast4rd love child of Lewis and Murdoch has its advantages
2018 SL grand final will feature a London Franchise with 17 cockneys in the team and 5 more playing for HKA (Because your academy will still NEED TIME) |

They won't now roofs... I get paid by both codes over here and seem to be doing an OK job.....contracts just renewed.
Quins and the Broncos before hand seemed to have an attitude that whatever I suggested they would do the opposite.......I am the clubs biggest detractor and speaking the plain truth bluntly isn't what they want to hear.....
anyway...at least if the club do go under, they will do so with a decent group of youngsters coming through that will be looking for new clubs.....they just won't apply to East Hull...there's no room there because of all the 'stralians.
