I'm fairly sure this Mash Butty guy was sat in front of me at the Castleford match, all the guy kept going on about was how there's no point signing players from Oz because the ones we've signed don't do any better than local lads.
His crazy words, not mine.

No it wasn't me, but it sounds like he has a brain. Sad to see one of the Ozzies you've been ravin about has decided to go back home. This means we can put Joel back to second row where he belongs and then we can get one of the kids at centre some good experience for next year. Back to square one.

What an idiot. Wigan are top of the league for god sake!
That should always be the priority.
Also, to say that the 3 signings haven't benefited us is ridiculous.

We would have been top of the league with Sam at stand off and Joel at second row, idiot

Ive always thought Georgie could have 6 weeks off injured and return to the team and play amazing rugby, because he is class. However he won't be here next year.

Re: stefan marsh : Thu Jul 14, 2011 8:22 pm  

I'm glad he's staying hes the best centre in SL, but we do need a replacement the year after agreed?
Anyway theres another point to make
You may see that R Murdock, the largest stakeholder in BSKYB has a few problems at the moment, Its Murdocks money that saved Rugby in this country remember? Theres no doubt he's going to have a lot of lawsuits from the UK and the US. Which means hes going to be short of money. Would he back out of funding football ? no way he has a huge global market to sell it to. However if he needs to save a few quid would he cut the funds to SL ? He wouldn't think twice about it,, therefore ALL SL clubs would be short of money, therefore you couldn't afford to sign any Ozzies.
Also look at the Maguire, legendary coach thread. Lots of mentions of DW and Nobby setting up all the facilities to develop the youth system. Lets make sure we take the lead should Murdock pull out....

Rupert Murdoch only owns 39% of BSKYB, which made close to £1billion profit last year, so if he has to pull out I'm sure there would be lots of potential buyers.
