so these rules, and exploitation of them have been in no way beneficial for the game in this country,

all it means is HKR can employ another average aussie to take the place of an british player,

and he isnt good enough for GB and never will be

well done on get around a rule put in place to help the national team, you must be very proud

He's not average though, quite a good prospect in fact.

he isnt, he is an average prospect,

he isnt as as good as Gibson, Atkins, Hall, Tyrer, Cook, Goulding, all actually british, all better than Lovegrove

he is average

its not like your bringing Inglis over and trying to sneak him through

Yeah whatever Smokey, the only opinion that counts in your little world is yours, and so there is little point in entering into a debate with you, so yeah whatever you think is fine by me.

How would you know how good he is? How many games have you seen him play.

Oh, and what exactly has is got to do with you anyway? Goddam retard!

I think you have some issues to sort out with yourself, Smokey! Calm yourself down a tad and don’t get so upset.

He's a talented youngster that WILL light up the game of RL in the next few years. There are not many exciting players out there at the age of 20, but Rhys the Beast Lovegrove IS one of them.

The boy is so aggressive in attack and defence it's a pleasure to watch. When he arrived he was lacking any match fitness, in a strange country, finding a new home and playing for a new club, all at the same time! It only took him a few weeks to get over though, and boy has he shown some power and skill. To top it all off he won't even be 1st choice!!!!

The rules are there for all to see and if you don’t like it then lobby the RFL. We are abiding by them and the RFL are obviously happy with everything, or we would be up before the beak.

Feel better now?

i have seen him play five games this season and looklike nothing more than a poor mans Chev, he is strong and quicker than you would think but there is nothing else to his game

Thats where i have a problem with it. Its nothing personal and i'd be saying the same were it at another club even Hull. I do not see the point in our acadamies becoming breeding ground for non GB players, that is not their intenion.

Edited

A) its not a loophole its adhering to the rules as they are written.
B) he's 20 and has amazing strength and style for a kid so young, he might not have the same step as Tyrer but he bumps big players off better than most centres in the league.
C) We are not shirking our GB duties, he is eligable to play for GB anyway but Saints have two first choice centres that are not eligable, only one they have is Tyrer and he's only 3rd choice.
D) We will see with a full off season to bring him in line and see where Justin plays him, at second row he's looked a lot more assured and made good runs out wide, its his favoured position too.

Ok so we have brought over a good aussie youngster with massive potential and he doesnt count as a none federation trained player, live with it we are doing NOTHING wrong.

How about posting some positives regarding our academy - we are promoting 3 academy players on full-time contracts next season along with giving a chance to young Menzies from Batley, also with Scott Johnson spending some time with the first team squad next year...

maybe because you need to
