Im all for recruiting talent from the lower leagues but they need to join existing quality not be relied upon to take us up the league.

Apart from that there'd be cries of 'we've gone cheap again'.

We need to buy a class Centre, Scrum Half and Prop and let players develop behind them. Class breeds class!

Edited for accuracy.

Quote: Gordon Gekko "Edited for accuracy.'"


It was accurate enough in the first place but thanks anyhow.

We should have the cash to buy class in at least two positions. One must be a 7 and develop the young players under them.

I think any of these would start at 7 for us currently...

Huddersfield/Whitehaven = McNally

Sheffield = Groom

Halifax = Black

Gateshead = Branighan

The argument about overseas/home-grown is spurious - the REAL debate is part-time/full-time

Below the SL players have a career outside of rugby. It takes a very brave player to throw that away and go full time on the off-chance that they are successful in SL.

I understand that SL "rules" are that players must be full time, so that surely prevents a lot of lads from lower divisions being prepared to take a chance at higher level. Who is going to jack their job in to get a month's trial with a SL club after which you might be binned anyway ?

I think that's a bigger problem than the imports.

With all respect i don't think any of them are good enough for SL and its also worth nothing that three of them are overseas players!!!
