The less overpaid aussies in our game the better surely. Even if it lessons the competition a little. We need to foster an environment whereby the next generation are given their chance ahead of journeymen and where it doesn't pay to get in a load of average aussies. But when relying on youth means you risk missing the play offs or finishing in the bottom 2, what do you do?

You moan about the salary cap until you can afford the Aussies again

What are you talking about now?

Good. Wigan will no doubt apply to be exempt from the salary cap because of this. Hull KR might as well fold.

It will be great news for overseas players in Super League, the NRL will have to find the players from somewhere.

You asked a question , I told you what the answer will be

The ' big ' clubs will imediatley request for an increase in the SL salary cap , even to the detriment of the competitiveness of SL , and quite possibly to the detriment of current and future expansion plans

Calm down , it's not all about you and me

Sounds good, should happen, but could cause problems for the talent in our league. We've already lost Burgess, Ellis and Graham to the NRL, if they have more money than more could go. That might be good for the starting line up of the England team, but if the best Aussies and English end up playing in the NRL how are we going to bring on our youngsters. Who will they learn from?

Super League has nearly a hundred overseas players and your moaning about 3 English players?

The ozzies will be thinking what goes around comes around, and who can blame them.

Quite ironic considering it's your club who have just signed 2 overseas players for next year replacing eastmond and graham....

No, replacing Flannery and Puletua dearest

Can't imagine them wanting to sign too many "second rate poms"

It means the Aussies can keep their top players but there will still be some of the fringe players who come over to Super League, like in the late 1990s

as they should, it is a scandal the SC has been the same for 10 years now, which in real terms is a reduction year on year. In a franchised SL clubs which cant compete shouldnt be in SL.

Whats sad is that this wont mean a massive reduction in overseas players, simply a massive reduction in the quality of overseas players coming over, and an increase in the amount of quality players from here going over there.

True and it also means they have more money to sign more of our top players.
