But, I think your arguments backwards to be honest. We cannot produce players to the quality of the likes of israel falau, a home grown talent in australlia. We produce very bog standard young talent. It's no fault of our own, its just the fact that rugby league isn't what kids want to play, they want to play football, or the standard of coaching at youth level isn't good enough to fulfil youngsters drive.
Yes, one or two gems come through, but they're not a patch on the aussie talent, so we're never gonna compete on the international stage with them. We've had the same faces time and time again in the international set up which shows th talent isn't being produced fast enough or the talent coming through isn't good enough.
That's why, the quality of football on show is going to be poor, because teams will have their hand forced to include below par youngsters in their squads. Not all teams can birng players through at the standard of ryan hall, or scott moore.
That was all I was saying, I'd rather be qatching quality standard rugby every week, than seeing a side full of average young english players.
i read the first bit and will answer to that.
ellis is west tigers player of the year.
so WE can match them in the pack.
what we cant do is match them in the backs in fact we cant get close.
but lets get it right senior is a better centre than falou.
