As much as some people might bemoan the loss of certain players or defend them for looking after their own interests (fairly so in one sense), they shouldn't blame the club too much over this.

The RFL is 20 years too late in implementing the quota shake up, personally i would have liked all clubs to honour the quota and not take advantage of the loop holes but some clubs would be in real trouble regards growth and moving forward, once these loopholes are closed the game will be in a much better condition in my opinion.
