It isnt a myth though is it ? They will improve as players in the full time environment. It is plain and simple to understand if you follow logic.
Full time training will reap benefits for all of those who are currently part timers.
Whether that means they can step up to SL level consistently remains to be seen, however I think some of them, Coyle in particular for this years efforts deserve the shot.
Some will be a success and thrive and others wont make the grade and end up back in part time rugby. I dont see the major issue here in giving some of our own players a chance to better themselves and trying to develop some continuity in the squad.
Full time training doesn't automatically make you a top flight player but you can't be a top flight player without it.
