Youngsters and Semi Tadulala.

Much, much better quality of signing than the two yesterday. Good work Wakefield.

But aren't those youngsters pretty highly rated?

Dale Morton looks like if could be a decent winger but still prone to the odd mistake. Glen Johnson looks good going forward but his defence lets him down. Kevin Penny is at Widnes, not sure if he's moved permanently. Josh Griffin had signed up for the Crusaders so not sure what his situation is now. Gareth Potts may make a SL player but has been on loan to Donny.

Lauititi to Wakefield.

Oh dear



They ruined it by signing an old, oft injured overseas player.

Indeed. Shame Castleford's last ditch attempt to sign him failed.

Indeed!

News to those at Cas,

We arent negotiating with any potential new signing, Until we have named our coach.

You as a Leeds Rhinos fan know which of our players are capable of stepping up to play in SL week in week out? It has been proven this year not many of them are, they are boys who aren't physically developed or have the right skill set to be competitive week in week out.

Signings such as Motu Tony, Steve Southern, Big Ally will give the team a little more backbone and physical presence that much is true. They are all good signings in their own right so I would urge fans of other clubs not to comment until they fully understand the impact these players will have. I would expect having a degree from Leeds Trinity such as myself would make you intelligent to understand this.

I completely understand why Wakefield have made these signings mate, to compete in the short term, every club is guilty of it.

My point (which I've tried to make on the homegrown 17 thread) is that if every club decided to get rid of their overseas players, it wouldn't devalue the competition standards as much as people think, but more teams would be competitive. Obviously one club on it's own would never take the plunge, because they would soon become uncompetitive, but if every club did it, they wouldn't (purely hypothetical I know).

Having said that, I don't want a blanket ban on overseas players. Each club should have 2 overseas 'stars' of real quality, who would add greatly to the competition. The rest of the spots should be given to the promising homegrown kids, to give England RL (or rather hopefully GB RL) every chance in the future.

I never mean to attack Wakefield (or Bradford a few pages back) on a personal level, it's the competition and it's short-sightedness as a whole.

And I'm not a Leeds fan.

You are...you are a Titans and Akkies fan so don't lie!



Joking aside, it is all good and well having a homegrown 17....but the quality of the league would be utter shocking! The rugby played by many teams who are unable to produce talented youngsters would be unttractive and bland and that would hardly inspire the masses to come through the gates!...believe me, it's what we have had at Wakefield all season.

In theory what you are saying is great in terms of 'player development' of domestic players but ultimately SL will end up been like the championship with a few special talents here and there which will end up going to the NRL to cut the mustard there!

But you know that he'd rather English workers get a job than overseas workers who would work just as hard.

You know he believes English workers have more right to a job than somebody from overseas.

I apologize if I offended you, I was trying to joke whilst also make a point. Didn't mean to insult you so was a bit surprised to get one back, but nevermind.

Shad Royston leaves the Bulls at the end of the year, to sign for PIA.

Another announcement from the Bulls in the morning.

Ainscough re-signs for bulls for 1 yr plus option.

good squad building by Wakey, Ali, Mellars, Tony are very good signings for them especially if they continue the development of the likes of Howarth.

with Kear and Morgan leaving Wakey and Hull KR who exactly are telling the clubs to sign these players?

Saints have randomly signed [url=http://www.saintsrlfc.com/news/page/1131Two Irish Men[/url
Patrick Fitzgerald and Seamus B'Gorrah.

**EDIT** Aready reported on this thread earlier. Sorry.
