Fevrover Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 6 hours ago, Tex Evans Thigh said: Hes a good player obviously, but I think the risk for Fev is that he isnt necessarily better than what is already there and this might disrupt the morale and atmosphere in the squad. Time will tell but Fev now have 6 halves. Morgan Smith has arguably been the best player this year and has likely just lost his place. Chisholm and Holmes odds on to leave, Chisholm being a massive fans favorite. Needs some delicate management and I'd have rather seen a marquee front rower brought in. Morgan Smith was out injured but nothing too serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem will be is that some of their overseas players will have to be replaced with British players IF they get into Super League due to the quota system and some others players will have to be replaced as they wont be good enough for Super League. This will be very expensive for them IF they get promoted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RFL is promoting this attitude at some clubs, especially so at Fev and Leigh the two strongest clubs outside of SL, what else are they supposed to do they can't bring through their own player's, it would be reducing the SL clubs in their vicinity of the number of candidates for their academies, yet Newcastle and London are allowed to run academies could it be that the local kids of those two clubs are of no interest to SL clubs till they make the grade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a Fev fan, Harry. Just speaking as a neutral who has enjoyed Chisholm's contributions. I don't anticipate that switch happening, in all honesty. He'd do well though.

Yes. However, if chisholm is on his way, and it does look like he's out of favour and slipping down the pecking order, I'm not sure fev would let him go to leigh....

That's like when Mikey Higham wanted to come back to Leigh, Warrington wouldn't let him at first then put in a stipulation in that he could not play against them.

Rockingchair Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) Tbh I’d like to see a scenario where all clubs have to fulfil a quota of local talent within their squads similar to the overseas quota , I’d also like there to be restrictions on super league clubs hoovering up the players  of other clubs local talent.

That might be a possibility if that stipulation included play off games. I seem to remember fax n sheff getting into a barney over something similar with Sam Barlow..... and if fev did stipulate that, I can't see leigh agreeing to the signing should with those conditions applied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
