As long as there is an "academy trained rule" which there is, then it's not such a big deal cos it still means players will get their chance.

Infact, it may even be better for the development our young players playing with quality imports.

I firmly believe our players are good enough. If we were coached to play every game like the last 25 mins v you guys in the derby we'd win more than we lose. We need our 2 coaches to go and be replaced by someone with a clue!!

(and a new 7 next season!)

I agree with most of that but what worries me is that clubs are still signing very average overseas players and in some cases 'projects', which beggers belief. Top class overseas players can aid player development of that there is no doubt but all the time clubs fill their quotas with players who basically cannot get a club in aussie, British player development will suffer.

Also with the more rigorous enforcement of tax rules top class overseas players are less likely to come unless our clubs pay them more money, something else that could adversely impact on British player development.

You had that coach and he was forced out.

Consequently, top class British players will be at a premium, also adversely impacting on British player development.

Who?

Norris. You can't dispute that he's doing a job with Wakefield.

He great at coaching the under dog, and in one off games, our league form was poor under Kear.

But I have to admit he is better than we have now.

When we sacked Kear and Sharp we should have gone for a big name.
