I agree with you.

Unfortunately it's a win at all cost mentality, so money talks.

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

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.

Do they get a parachute payment or has that ceased now ?

They also know that realistically IMG are locking them in soon so why waste the cash?

And when these players are coming through send the best to the  NRL and then we might have a chance to win a world cup.

Even with that being the case i'm sure they will be top spenders in the league? Maybe second to Fev?

Given they have to pay for all away teams travel, that's hardly surprising

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.

Bulls teasing a big signing announcement later tonight. Is it the 2 PNG players or someone else?

[TrueBull]

Lawrence moves to the Bulls from the Giants. Good signing. 

[dunno much]

Langi signs with Pia

I knew he was staying in France, I was still hoping that TO had managed to persuade him to sign

Plenty of big names in Elite 1 next year which will hopefully improve the comp & give attendance’s a boost,but yeah he’d have been a good addition for Toulouse.

[Jughead]

Shame for Lawrence that he’s not going to be a one club man for his hometown club but should go well at Bradford.

I’ll reserve judgment but I wouldn’t be so sure……….he looks done to me this last season

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

The advantage of Championship then. Part time, one fewer training sessions per week can maintain a year or two to a  good career standard. 

[binosh]

Shorrocks to Toulouse.

[ELBOWSEYE]

Jughead, my comment was ironic not serious.. 

[Mumby Magic]

Kibula confirmed at Batley. Liked him.

Ok that should quash the unlikely SRD move.

Salford now have one quota slot left- They need a prop.

I’ve read it a lot this last week from people being serious that any half decent talent under the age of 21 should go over to Australia.

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.

[The Phantom Horseman]

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.
