Quote: Mild Rover "
What is happening at some clubs isn't the issue when judging the RFL. The telling stat will be total number of non-England qualified players across the League. Mind, with the Willie Manu situation, even that isn't straight forward.

'"


Does all this mean that in a few years we could have a full England team of Tongs, PNGs and Kiwis?

Quote: Mrs Barista "A slightly weird rant about FC and Long, but the point here isn't about Mason, is it? Have you even read the thread? The point is that the RFL set out its principles of reducing quota players to 5 by 2011 and increasing homegrown player requirements years ago. Thanks to a set of exemptions and rule-changing by them, they are now in the embarrassing position of having some clubs having the same if not more overseas players at the end of the first franchise period than at the beginning. If the 5 rule was never legal/operational, they look like @rses for communicating it to start with, and if it was legal/operational they look like @rses for allowing exemptions that could allow some clubs 10+. Mason is a top player, box office as you say, and would be a good addition to Rovers and SL. But this has nothing to do with the quota situtation as if Rovers had to keep to 5 they would have signed him anyway and offloaded a combination of Webster/Fisher/Galea/whoever to do so as he'd be the first name on the teamsheet.'"
TBH Mrs B it was always going to be imposible to uphold.
The idea of a quota is all well and good until that person qualifies for an EU passport the very second that happens they have every right to work in any EU member state.
The only way you can try and reduce the numbers is to outlaw none EU members playing in the ESL.

Quote: His Bobness "Oh Mrs B I want to look after you, please don't ever leave the Rovers forum.'"


The preacher was talkin', a sermon he gave,
He said every Hull fan was vile and depraved,
You cannot depend on them to be your guide
Only Rovers can keep you satisfied.

Repent you black & white sinners so you can be forgiven, said the Lord. (The book of Millward, Chapter 10-5, verse thou shalltneverwinat wembley,oh sammy sammy, sammy house Lloyd)

And so it came to pass.

There is an alternative view to all this quota / non quota debate.

Does it really matter?, the international game is a poor at best and a complete joke at worst, I'd like to see the stats on teams in the WC qualifying as to how many of the teams actually have players who are actually from that country playing for them. The Aussies are not averse to playing kiwis and SSI's and claiming them as theirs.

We talk about nurturing homegrown talent so we can be competetive at international level when in reality does anyone really care. Would you rather see England beat the aussies in a cup not many people really care about or see your side win the league and cup double? Would you rather see a competetive WC or a quality SL?

Theer is a notion that the quota would 'weed' out the average aussies and let youth come through but the problem with this is some of the most sought after highest paid aussies can turn out the worst players, over the hill and on a pension scheme (FWIW I think Mason would fall into this) Yet some gems have been uncovered who have come with a far smaller reputation.

I agree youth should be prioritised by clubs, its great to see a Hull lad come through and play on the biggest stage (for either club), but by limitting quota you in effect make homegrown / fed trained (or whatever it is) a more valuable commodity and even average FT trained players value goes up and they become overpaid for there worth.

If the international scene is being talked up as this is the way to expand our game then maybe there is a point, but we are light years behind the big sports in terms of draw and profile and I'm afraid even if we won the WC it wouldn't raise the profile of the game.

Controversial as this may be I think we should look at what would increase the enjoyment for the spectator week in week out and that is to have the best players playing week in week out in the ESL. If that means having a quota then so be it, if not the scrap it. If we want to develop our youth then mprove the NL's, use feeder clubs get these lads playing competetive games in a competetive nature on a weekly basis and if they're good enough they'll come through.
