So whats the rush with Wimbledon?

Agree what's the rush with Wimbledon. Another thing which is a worry we produce great youngsters but never get the benefit of the money, time and energy spent of them. I know it is their future and they all want to play SL or as high a level as possible but I think the contracts should be a longer time to get some benefit before they move on. I feel we produce some of the best youngsters in RL and that shows by how many are scattered around SL and Championship teams, there was a time when this was unheard of

lets go back to getting 10/12 aussies in!!!

At least Aussies & Kiwis know how to travel & settle in as it's in their DNA & almost a right of passage. While it might be a bit of a generalisation, we have got better value out of them than out Northern players who for whatever reason seem unable to hack it down here for long. A few notable exceptions of course.

They were the best times. We couldn't run the water for Canberra with this team never mind take them apart in front of a decent crowd,

Hence my opening comment - not good enough. The youngsters are doing a great job and loads of upcoming talent but need more experience. There is not enough experience for when players are injured.

That is not what I am saying and you know that. You are being pedantic. I want to hold on to our great youngsters a little longer and get benefit from them before other northern teams come in to cherry pick from the crop. If we could hang on to them once they have a bit more experience than we could have a settled team instead of changing so much year on year

It's time for The RFL and Super League to agree that any club in a development area or a lower league club Must receive a payment for Any player signed from them, currently it is rich picking for them! though in my amateur days there was a £50 fee for any player signed, and we had to support clubs to Fight to get that money off most clubs!

actually.... i would like to keep the academy...but bring in maybe 5/6 aus/kiwi/tonga/etc etc...as mentioned earlier they travel and stick around for sometime,good experience for youngsters too

i want the best of both worlds tbh!!!

maybe taking the club over from david!!
