And the maybe, new player is : Thu Nov 19, 2009 7:37 am  

a Aussie. He has played in the Queensland cup, but has English ancestry so wont count on the overseas quota.

Got this news in a phone call and as pre normal, have been asked not to name the player

So i will leave that to the club to do.

Sorry but any overseas player is money out of the game and at championship level it's plain crazy.

But I'm not unique in thinking this is wrong but then again I don't run a RL club so.......................

It still will not change my opinion.

Who cares.
The clubs in SL dont.
The RFL dont.
Sky dont.

So why should we?

I agree with Leaguefan

Clubs shouldn't be allowed to sign foreigners unless they're internationals.

It's wrong on so many levels, taking money out of the game, denies honest NL players a crack at the big time and why bother spending time on bringing through a kid that may sell out and cross codes when you can bring a second rate Okker in who'll do a job straight away?

Don't get me wrong, if the likes of Inglis, Slater and the Hayne twins were coming over i'd be all for it but it's the mediocre ones who are coming over which is wrong.
