Ah the credo of many wakey posters.

7 overseas in the 19. Like many clubs we could not do that at the Giants - not enough non UK players.

Clearly with Scully 2 weeks away what Wakey really needed was a reserve grade NRL player.

Yeah we need a young player with lots of potential who can make a big name for himself, who would not want that type of player?

Scully is a prop

Frank is 2nd row.


Don't see why you need to have a pop at Wakey. Signing past it players is far worse. In fact Wakey doing nothing wrong. But then again you are a Hudds fan so you look to moan about Wakey where possible!

But last year you did and the year before that...

Amazing that you should choose to pipe up about this subject now.

Hypocrite!

Am I? Od dear

What you are not capable of grasping is that we then only had 7 in the whole squad not 10/11

10 years in SL and one of the highest overseas quotas and now signing reserve graders. Very disappointing.

Could the signing of Brett Hodgson be seen as a problem for Hudds as this could see Cudjoe playing limited time in his favoured position? Is this a not a backward step for Hudds, no matter how good Hodgson has been in oz? I dont just think the signing of reserve grade Aussie is a problem as the above case shows.

You've had 10 years in SL, develop the players not bring reserve graders half way across the world.

Why is objecting to signing a reserve grader a 'pop' at wakey? Its a fact.

How can learning off one of the world's best full backs be a bad thing?

Leroy can play in a few positions. He knows BH has several SOO / GF winners medal / fb of the year in 2005. If he is not getting picked Leroy knows it is because of a top class player (not an Oz reserve grader) Also Leroy has an excellent role model/mentor (not a service FW is likely to offer). When BH finishes Leroy will be only 22.

If we signed a 22year old fb from an oz reserve grade team with only 5 1st team games and put him before Leroy I would be appalled.

I think he would learn much more by playing consistantly at FB to be honest. You can only take a youngsters development so far by training ground teachings. He has to do it under the spotlights of the big time.
