How has cahill been given a visa? Who at the RFL approved this..and why?

This bloke managed around 5 1st team games last year. In a team with nothing to play for and with a great opportunity to 'blood' new players Cahill gets 5 games.

He has never played for an international team. The best he has managed is an appearance for the 'ethnic' maoris.

Does the british game improve by bringing in players like this?

Shall we send home every overseas player, without a cap for Australia or New Zealand?
Didn't a Maori team hold England team to a draw in a warm up game before the four nations?

But surely you take my point, players like this are stifling our game.
The whole point of the crusaders is to develop the game in Wales and the brig through welsh players to SL and international standard.
Take the game against salford, average age 29, a string of players not eligible for any home nation and several players over 30 offering no future to any international team.
Is it any wonder we can't compete with Aus, NZ even the maoris are now a struggle and PNG look like a rapidly improving outfit.
This is not just a Crusaders issue, all clubs are guilty and as you say by my argument there would be no room for players like JD.
For my money he went on a year too long, but he was club captain and had previously been far from average, so the comparison is not really very accurate.

But he paid his own way over and wasn't a star in the NRL. Once Clinton and Thomas leave the average age will drop sharpely
I would love us to have as many home grown players as Hull or Leeds but these things take time.

Nice to see such loyalty being extended to JD who's try saved you from being relegated by your nearest rivals Castleford.

You've lost me?

JD who by your reckoning wasn't good enough, and should never have been allowed to play in super league because he didn't regularly play in a NRL first team and never played representive football for Australia at senior level, some how managed to score the try that prevented wakefield from being relegated from super league.

Also, didn't Obst pay his own way here and take up the gig with Whitehaven before Wakey signed him?

Apparently Hep Cahill had a blinder today. His situation when he got his work permit is no different to many other players over the years, why single him out?

Well done Hep Cahill, what a performance. Looks like Hep will be a very useful signing.

Because the crusaders are the bane of the world apparently Ignore his ramblings, he gets a little worked up bless him
