Rovers fans by and large feel unable to critique the fact that 6 years on 11 overseas players is probably a few too many, given that Hudgell signed up for 5 in 2007.'"
Surely your time would be better served over on the Hull FC board then. |

I count only 10 overseas players for Rovers. No doubt when if it becomes official about Mcdonnell and Mika and the departure of Misi it will be 11. Still we have 10 overseas players after 6 years of SL and Hull have 8 overseas players after 15 years.

2007 was a long time ago in SL development terms. Lets look at the changing landscape; a move from 12 to 14 teams. This has diluted the player pool significantly and put simply, their isn't enough British talent to go around. Then there is the Crusaders experiment implosion to deal with. Withers & O'Hara was a situation nobody saw coming, but we would have been foolish to ignore this. Not many teams have failed to take someone on this exemption.
Providing Rovers continue to give the likes of Taylor, Cox & Sheriff a fair crack at the 1st team, I'm comfortable with the club's policy.

This is our full homegrown list. Discounting Lovegrove and Murrell If we can see six of that list regularly getting game time that would be an awesome effort for 2012. |

It was a like for like swap, one untried mid-twenties reserve player for another untried mid-twenties reserve player. Maybe if I'anson had been given a proper shot at first team before he was 23 he would have been able to forge a career at SL level. |

Not at all. I can see FC's faults and am big enough to discuss them without the need for knee-jerk and myopic defence of things that are patently not right. We are 3 over the quota numbers agreed in 2007 and this is disappointing. You are 6 over and either don't care or feel some strange need to defend it as an irrelevance. That's the difference between us, I suppose. By your logic I guess, Widnes should have 15 overseas players. Guess what? They have less than Rovers. Oh dear.  |

Strange need to defend it, Lets see if you can dig up a post where I defend our recruitment policy?
I simply can't see how you can comment after your team have had 10 more years in super league and have a massive total of 2 less overseas players then ourselves. It's shoddy from both clubs.

I will forgive you as you won't have seen I'Anson play much, but our coaching staff were right out of turd polish, hence his release. Interesting that Widnes had a similar stock out of the same item. |

Not forgetting of course that this is the same I'Anson who was dumped by his previous club following a serious leg injury and after not really being given a fair crack at a first team spot who we than magnanimously picked up and gave a fair crack at Super League to.
Which team was that?
Leeds.
Same team that Scott Murrell was at. |
