Did Fox have any England caps before he joined Rovers or did his development stop two seasons ago......and he has suddenly been given the chance. !!
If I had the time I am sure I could find a squad list for Cas and show 10 British players who have played first team for them since they came back up and who were trained in the Wakey and Cas district, I was talking to someone about it on Friday and they reeled off a long list.
If you are more bothered about success of your own club than the future of the British game then you keep having the attitude you have in which success comes before development. I am sure the second rate Aussies over here care so much about your support of them

Perhaps if you had to tell 5 or 6 English kids they have no future at the club like I did with lads earlier this season you would be less inclined to want Aussies here milking the sport dry.
If the RFL did something about the likes of Lovegrove then the British kids, local kids, would be swamping Super League.
What the hell does Rhys Lovegrove bring to Super League that Ryan Esders or Rich Beaumont couldn't given some First Team Rugby?
It is a joke.

It is the way of the weak to secretly bleat to those in authority rather than fight their own battles.

I'm all for cutting the amount of overseas players and taking the game in that direction as long as it doesn't dilute the quality.
The bottom line is that IMO the fans come first, and most fans want to see quality RL, and if fans didn't pay to watch the game then players wouldn't be able to make a living in the first place.

So why do those same 'fans' complain when we are an embarrassment at International level?
It aint hard mate, get rid of em, 1 in each team, simple way forward.
