Quote: Paul Youane "Has to tow the "party line" on behalf of the club I suspect.
Tony Smith at a fans' forum this week expressed his belief that the changes being proposed to academy and scholarship rugby would lead to a reduction in the number of young players being developed and a corresponding increase in the number of average Australians playing in Super league.'"
That's a bit rich coming from a the coach of a team with the oldest squad in Super League, and a coach who has used the full overseas quota at every team he has had.
He's still entitled to his opinion though, and as we all know, this is the RFL and things change constantly, and not always for the better.
