Agreed,needs to be a 50% reduction in overseas players allowed. I'd also include coaches in this cap. We need to strengthen acadamy and amateur links into the game as will only benefit the sport in the long term from a player pool and financial perspective. That's the real win for all 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to cut their cloth accordingly now they are back in the championship, they can't keep paying SL wages to now non SL players. The backroom staff also had to be reduced, those that are left will be doubling up on their responsibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem being the structure of the academy system means only certain teams have true academy teams and the reality is the amateur game, certainly in Yorkshire, needs a lot of work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, not an easy task, but should be the focus for the long term future of the game. Too many years of letting both go to rot is now having a detrimental affect across the board. Yet we're still focusing on quick short term marketing fixes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought this was another insult that had fallen foul of the swearing filter for a moment.... I might be wrong but this smacks of a team that's become desperate for a half back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Horseman Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 As an aside, both Shorrocks and Mitch Clark were announced as having been retained by Newcastle in the last 2 or 3 weeks and now both have left to play in France. Its difficult to see anything other than a major struggle for Newcastle next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
