| Quote: Bandito "I bet you dont. Aussies can live here and sponge off the Government all they like for me, I just dont want more than one playing in each team. Kids like Craig Hall should be playing week in week out in SL if we are ever going to have a strong National side. Aussie coaches yes, Aussie players sod off.'" I agree, but it takes time to develop a youngster from the academy, although Kris Welham is an exception. They should be given National League experience, players like Spaven and Mariano and then progress from there.

FWIW I'd snap Craig Hall up in a heartbeat.

Quote: Gordon Gekko "So you think Kris Welham is the finished article???
I worded it wrong, I meant an academy product holding down a first team place. Of course he can still develop, as can any player! Well most.

If the RFL grew some balls and said in 2011 there will be only one Aussie/Kiwi/PNG/Frencie allowed in each team then SL clubs would have to play youngsters. Hull could nearly do it now, as could a couple of other clubs, but the comp would not suffer in excitment terms, only skill levels perhaps for the first season or so. If you watch the Thursday night Championship games I am sure you will agree most are really good games and exciting. There aint many Aussies kicking about in those games except the Gateshead cheaters or whatever they are called now. It really annoys me, and plenty of other people in the game, that young kids are forced to play in a meaningless Reserve comp or go back to Amateur in order to play every week when there are overpaid Aussies taking their place.

Quote: east hull FC fan "But he would be able to get just as good a contract somewere else, he still has another year on his contract anyway so do you think we will release him from that to come to you? He has also turned rovers down twice before and has said he doesn't want to play there. So wakey it is then, he'll get a good supply from cookie.'" It's always fun catching a few "Hull Sharks..."
