If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

The one which they were given dispensation to break.
If they weren’t breaking it, they wouldn’t have needed dispensation to do so would they. |

| Quote: Mild Rover "Wire don't get this grief though and they've been in SL much longer.
Their best 17 this season gone was probably...
Hodgson, J. Monaghan, Bridge, Atkins, King, Myler, Briers, Carvell, M. Monaghan, Morley, Westwood, Anderson, Harrison.
Wood, Solomona, Higham, Clarke.
Cooper, Blythe, Riley on the fringes but we've got players on the fringes too.
Briers will qualify, but only in the same way that Murrell does for us. So that leaves Wood and Harrison.
The difference, you will no doubt point out, is that only 6 were overseas players. They [ibuy[/i British, we tend to look to the NRL. That is a debate worth having. The conflation of youth-development with who we bring in from outside the club and from where is a red herring that distracts from the real issue, IMO.'" I wouldn’t disagree, I think it is an argument which frequently gets conflated, though undoubtedly linked they are two separate issues. Wire’s youth development hasn’t been good enough, but they aren’t relying on overseas players to fill that gap.
Wire need to bring more players in to the first team who have come through their academy but whilst they are waiting to bring those through they are looking to british for the majority of their squad which is what HKR should be doing. |

No not guilty mate, I don't read let alone post on that rags site.
As for Smokey and his Rules issue, as you were told at the time, it is within the rules to apply for dispensation, therefore by doing so, and being granted it, as we were, you are clearly operating within the RFL rules.
Beats me why anyone bothers to enter into a debate if they are clearly too pig headed or thick to accept there maybe another view other than their own.

Not as tiresome as the comments you will get if you put Sandra on the back of your shirt.
Anyway this is about overseas numbers.... |

Just get it in the smallest font.
It did take me a few days to work out where I had seen references to geese from when I first saw the "goose power"
Although terrorist on your back could raise a whole new set of issues. |

As for overseas numbers as long as we are actively improving our youth development and giving the younger players contracts and not letting them go elsewhere I think we will see a future rovers squads with less and less "foreigners"

In terms of pursuing our self interest, we'll have to see how the team and the overseas players do.
And as you know, I don't buy the England argument.
However, even as someone who appreciates the cosmopolitan make-up of SL, with a blend of Brits and overseas players, 11 is a lot.
I understand the club's rationale and the circumstances, but still. |
