Alex Murphy as spoken once again saying there are to many imports in our game and before anything can improve for our national team they must be restricted,they stopped promotion and relegation to make our national team better although its a bit early it hasnt helped this year and i cant see that helping any time the only thing it will do is put the lower clubs out of business...i think a prime example of how an import can have an effect on home grown player was at whitehaven where Marc Jackson was in my oppion just as good a hooker as Aaron Lester and who knows how good he could have been if hed been left at hooker,thats just a local example there must be loads else where...one overseas player per club Alex says and im for one agree.....

Gotta agree wid ya about Jacko mate, was a hell of a No:9 in his youth and could have gone anywhere he wanted at the age of 17-20, and I think he had numerous trial wid the top clubs. I always said that W/haven wasted him by turning him into a battering ram (Although a pretty decent battering ram at that, and I'm glad we've got him on board!)

Jacko proved how good he was at hooker when he played for the Brow against London Broncos just before he went to Whitehaven, can’t ever remember a amateur player ever receiving the official M O M award against a super league team,
I think it was a big mistake not letting him play hooker and also not giving him the kicking duties.
