i think we are starting to see what DVDV was saying when he set it up that it may take 10 - 15 years and here we are!

Paul Gallen would my choice of Aussie signing.

after watching the anzac test tho i wouldn't say no to the coal train either

As I've said for years, HY, why do we HAVE to fill our quota. If you're good enough (and show potential to be great) you'll consistantly get a game.

You don't have to sound like Paul Hogan, have 8 test caps and 16 SoO appearances, to justify a place in our side.
Play well and continue to improve your game, and play as a team member.

Not interested in nationality. Just ability and a team member

Instead of buying up Kiwi or Aussie players,we should be snapping up the best young talent the British isles have to offer.

In the super league at the moment their is some fantastic young players.

Plus the young lads coming up the ladder at Warrington if they are good enough then play them.

Spot on. We should be after Tomkins, possibly Eden, Roby et al. I'm not saying we will get them but less reliance on overseas players will serve us well over the next few years.

Sal does irony, not sarcasm.

You mean someone like Bateman at Bradford? ..

It wasn't DVDV who set up the youth system, he actually disbanded it to pay the wages of Langer, Gee etc. It was Paul Cullen who started it off again, he is doing pretty much the same with Widnes now.

Why not go for Slater and Thurston though? I'm not saying we will get them but the worlds best players would serve us well over the next few years.

Next Aussie signing I'd like to see is Tony Smith's extension. 18 months left.

You've changed your tune after a couple of wins against Keighley and Cas. I'd suggest the cup game (and hopefully a following one two weeks later) will give us a much better view of how our season is shaping up.

By the way, if you were after an Aussie player, I'd be giving Scott Dureau some serious consideration, with Ratchford going into fullback.

i would like to see gallen here but i doubt these top players who people are saying would give up there aussie or orgin shirt to come and play in the uk i think jamie lyon is still the only player to be in the australian team who was playing in super league and that was becuase there was a late injury

Bumping this for the Silvertail chap.....
