| Quote: headhunter "I couldn't care less if they played in the NRL, they are poor players and contribute nothing to the competition. They were only signed because they are Australian. As a neutral I'd much rather see PNG players or similar being given an opportunity than mediocre Aussies who are only here because they couldn't make it elsewhere and clubs like Hull FC are daft enough to sign them instead of giving young players a chance.'"
Nearly every point you make is laughable. Whilst not worldbeaters Holdsworth and McDonnell are both solid players who have put in good performances for Salford, KR and FC. Didn't Holdsworth win a MOM at an exiles game?
Why sign PNG players over Australians? Is it because you've just signed two? As for your last sentence - from a club that said they were going to promote youth and then signed a whole range of mediocre players (and some bloody good ones too, before you quote back at me). Do you remember Joel Clinton? You are also about to sign Ben Cockayne and have taken Netherton back. Is that giving youth a chance?

| The standard in PNG is rapidly improving.
Every year they play the best of their local players against the PMs XIII made up of all rep standard NRL players, and they hold their own (they do have a massive homeground advantage).
The other thing to take into account is that these guys come from one of the poorest countries on earth and their prospects at home would be to maybe make a thousand pounds a year, so even a minimal contract makes them feel like millionaires, and they will literally do anything short of killing for that chance. They won't be like old Australians who are there for a pension - they will give every bit of effort they possibly can to keep earning money.

Holdsworth is OK, McDonnell isn't. You new young half back might turn out well given time.

2 things.
1 Roopy isn't a HKR fan.
2 I do hope you can back that statement up with hard evidence.

Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?: |

The diferance is that then we were a lower division club on the brink of going bust, now two young prospects will I assume be on a reasonable wage & if they turn out to be the stars we would like then they will earn a lot more or move on to someone who can pay them if Rovers can't.

einstien said insanity is when a person does the same thing over and over again but expects a different result: |
|
| Quote: bishops finger "he's not exactly gonna say there cr@p is he.
these two have too be classed as projects IMO and given time to settle and get up to speed but hopefully they'll come good. 2 out of 3 successes with PNG lads so far, hopefully it'll be 4 from 5.'"
And hes not exactly going to pick them for the national team if they are is he. He is a coach not an agent
