There's quite a few kids at SL acadamies too, such as Stewart and Singleton at Leeds, Marwood and Shaw at Warrington, Richards at St Helens etc

Not forgetting lads like McNally and Amor who are now attached to SL clubs.

Bulls have just signed a young prop too, McAvoy I think.

That is very very good scouting on Wire at the time (what are we talkign about..mid 80's).....now it sems Bulls and Rhinos have the scouts out in force in WC....

Broughton Red Rose kid......Red Rose and Kells where the main clubs back when I was a boy to supply the local pro game.
Good to see the local coaching once again bearing fruit.

It is, and it could. But it shouldn't take the RFL to ban imports. The Clubs themselves are to blame. All they have to do is not employ second rate Aussie etc, but do they do it ?

No.


I bet not one SL Club has voluntarily dropped their Import quote since they got a Licence..........

Cas have only got five Aussies if you include James Evans.

That's less than the six we had in 2009 and certainly less than 2008.
