The Bulldogs site said no rep honours. I thanked you for the pres cutting of his game.

No bitterness sweetie. as others on here have posted: Why take a reserve grade NRL player? You have been in SL over a decade and still resort to this type of recruitment. understandable for a newly promoted team....but Wakey :roll:


Yawn!!!! The Giants have some decent youth players coming through after a long period in superleague and now their fans have the right to slate other clubs efforts!!! In the voice of yoda............short memories some do have!! :roll:

You are so tough. Please don't bully me on the VT.

Back to topic. Is our game served well when a team who has been in SL for a decade has to opt for NRL reserve graders?

After the WC debacle many raised the issue of us bringing in lower quality overseas players. they had a point.

Wakey players like Drew/Petersen/Stosic/Martin have proven NRL records they bring proven ability to the game and can help develop youngsters. Winterstein does not do this.

But given a game in 2006 looks like he will be on his way.

As already posted, the young players not already in the 25 are not ready for the first team. They may be used in exceptional circumstances, as Blake (a part time player) was against Leeds but they are not ready for regular action.

Every young fit English player in our squad is getting the chance to play. All we have left is the academy players who you can't ask to step up and be competitive on a week in week out basis.

With our massive injury crisis and Illness effecting our squad we have been forced into making signings like this. At least at Wakey you could say our young lads are not getting shoved aside for Aussies that are no better.

dont see what the problem is just marsden being a prat theres many players come over here with no experience and become a great success examples willie poching sam obst jason demetriou brad davis semi tadulala have all shown there worth maybe we are better talent spotters and dont sign big names who turn out to be crap like elford jensen and the superstar centre they thankfully stole from us and was such a huge success ive completely forgotten his name :D

Gosh :D

So sad you think bringing in NRL reserve graders is commendable. I disagree.

Not slating drew/petersen/martin/Stosic as they were proven NRL 1st team players. I am questioning whether an NRL reserve grader benefits our game. We seem to differ on this.

I'll never forget the hype at Hudds about Rod "the rocket" Jensen. What a quality signing he turned out to be. :lol:

I’m disappointed that another import will be playing for Trinity next season but the fact is the a pack already lacking in depth suffered the loss of Moore for the season dues to illness and the youth players not already in the 25 man squad are not up to it yet. In terms of numbers he is needed. Trinity had a part time player in their 17 against Leeds.

Whether or not there are better players in the championship is another matter. The club have recruited heavily from this source in the past and many have worked out but perhaps there just was not the talent there this time.
what about RU? other clubs youngsters? maybe a player not getting a chance at another SL club? why not france?
