Behave.

This is another excellent example of fantasy and reality. In the half time entertainment thread, VM posted the picture of a hot american cheerleader, an ideal scenario which never quite pans out like that.

And when our boys meet the aussies, Rich fantasises about an ocker triumph but the reality is we'll be eating kangaroo steaks for weeks after the massacre.

IF YOUR YOOF IS REALLY AS GOOD AS YOU ALL SAY, AND ILL ADD, THE LEAGUE TABLE SHOWS...

WHY DO YOU NEED TO SPEND BIG BOOKS BRINGING OVER 2ND RATE OZIS?

IF FAX HAD A JUNIOR SET UP COMPETING WITH THE TOP SUPER LEAGUE CLUBS, AND A NAILED ON 3 YEAR FRANCHISE I'D BE MORE INTERESTED IN GIVING THE AWARD WINNING YOOF THEIR CHANCE TO SHINE..

ANY THOUGHTS?!

Your very narrow minded. Name me one SL side with a 100% home grown squad :

Why don't Fax pay for a youth set up then rather than more older players and hoping fans will do it?

My thoughts are that you firstly need to learn how to write proper English.

Second of all, your comparison of our youth to the league table is meaningless. Please elaborate on that point.

Thirdly, how do you know exactly which 'ozis' we're looking to buy?

And finally... How do you come to the conclusion that just because we are looking to recruit from overseas, we are not looking to give our youth a chance?

MAYBE I AM NOT ENGLISH, HENSE THE ODD GRAMMAR OR SPELLING MISTAKE! OR MAYBE I COME ON HERE TO TALK ABOUT RUGBY RELATED ISSUES NOT FOR A GCSE LANGUAGE EXAM....EITHER WAY I KNOW MY RUGBY LEAGUE.

THE LEAGUE TABLE THAT I AM TALKING ABOUT IS THE UNDER 18'S LEAGUE TABLE FROM 2010, THAT I BELIEVE WIDNES WON.

MOST YOUNGSTERS GOOD ENOUGH TO BREAK INTO SUPER LEAGUE THESE DAYS DO SO AT 19-20 YEARS OF AGE...AM I RIGHT IN THINKING YOUR UNDER 18'S WILL BE AROUND THAT AGE WHEN ENTERING SUPER LEAGUE IN 2012?!

MMMM MY MATHS IS FAIRLY GOOD!

OK, SO YOUR RIGHT, HOW MANY TEAMS IN SUPER LEAGUE ARE SOLELY MADE UP OF HOMEGROWN TALENT?! NONE

BUT WAS THIS NOT THE WHOLE IDEA OF FRANCHISING IN THE 1ST PLACE?

TO ENCOURAGE CLUBS IN THE TOP FLIGHT TO GIVE THEIR YOUNGSTERS TIME TO DEVELOP PLAYING AT THE TOP LEVEL?!

RATHER THAN RUNNING OFF DOWN UNDER FOR USUALLY WHAT ENDS UP BEING SECOND RATE OZZIES COMING TO THE END OF THEIR CAREER.....


A THREE YEAR FRANCHISE ALLOWS ALL CLUBS IN THE TOP FLIGHT TO RISK THEIR YOUTH WITHOUT RISKING RELEGATION...

TO BE HONEST AM NOT A FAN OF THE FRANCHISE SYSTEM, BEING THE OLD FASHIONED RL FAN THAT I AM, TAKING P&R OUT OF A COMP SEEMS DAFT. AS TO A CERTAIN DEGREE ITS KILLS INTEREST IN THE LOWER LEAGUES....HOWEVER THIS IS ANOTHER ISSUE ALTOGETHER.

BUT I DO SEE THE IDEA BEHIND IT, AND IF IT WORKS IN 5-10 YEARS TIME 'ENGLAND' 'WALES' AND THE REST MAY WELL BE ABLE TO COMPETE AGAINST THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE SIDES...

I HOPE YOU GET MY POINT, AND I REALLY HOPE THAT WIDNES TAKE A STAND AGAINST
'SHOPPING DOWN UNDER'

BUT IF THE TITLE OF THREAD IS TRUE....THEN THE RFL'S BIG PLANS TO 'CATCH UP' TO THE OZZIES AND KIWIS IS ALREADY FLAWED.

TIME WILL TELL
