Quote: Trinitythefuture "A better option would be to forget about the obsession with trying to compete with Australia on the international scene , and concentrate on producing players for SL. If the second string NRL rejects are good enough to rip it up in SL, bring them on (Isaac John). The kids will have to step it up another level to play 1st team, otherwise unlucky not good enough. Why do we have to have sub-standard English players forced into the 1st team when they are just not good enough. Stuff International rugby.'"
Thats just the ticket.
The kids need proper coaching, they need money to aid the development (1873) and then if its all done well we will see high quallity youngsters coming through into the first team, if we are happy with a team full of second rate NRL players then we are not WTRL and if thats the case i've no interest at all.
For me the development of local players is a massive key to the future.
