Exactly

Of course we need a young 7 ,But we also need an older experienced 7 as well . I think the big difference between here and the Australians is the way the young ones are bought on through the ranks .

Surely there must be a couple of good young kids playing in the lower leagues.Who with the right coaching would be able to make the step up, but these kids have to be paid so may be it is like an earlier poster said we or the SL clubs are not prepared to pay them a decent enough wage.

I do not believe for one minute that in the North of England we do not have the standard of young kids coming through

This is not a rant at the over seas players because as proven at Hull we need them here

Here is the problem with this post

In line to play for Oz at fb if Slater doesn't recover from an injury.

Who cares if they're overseas? And why don't you think any are good enough for SL? Was Tevita Vaikona or Stanley Gene not good enough for SL?
