Also, I think you can only remove/not replace so much quality from Super League before it starts to really diminish it as an environment for producing Rugby League players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wigan are one of the clubs that do bring a lot of young players through. Hopefully all SL clubs will start doing this more in the future. Your second paragraph brings up the issue of finding investment and the will to get more juniors playing the game at community level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERSTUD Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Got told Leeds boss GH asked for a meeting with Dom and dad whilst he was over. GH put in British terms a good offer forward. I got told the amount but not sure about said payments. They thanked him smiled and left. Apparently Aussie deal is going to dwarf it. Got told amount offered was £350-000. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashmon Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) I'm tired of seeing posts saying Aus / NZ will come here for 3 test tours, when its not going to happen at least until after 2025, and then only if England are good enough to warrant Aus and NZ coming Edited December 7, 2022 by crashmon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jughead Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 Will Pryce given squad number 32. I know it’s only a squad number and to some extent they don’t matter but he’s dropped from number one to 32. Is that sign of his worth to Huddersfield in 2023?

I also share the dim view that it will help England. Pretty worthless if they aren´t going to be playing anyone and NRL having best English players means no reason to care about playing England when they see them, anyway. That’s easier said than done when they have Jake Connor, Tui Lolohea, Theo Fages, Olly Russell and Will Pryce to fit into the 1, 6 and 7 jerseys and keep all happy. It wouldn’t surprise me if there was something in the Pryce to Wigan for a year rumour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the football world cup. Given all the players see each other domestically or in Europe regularly, none of the games have had any passion have they?

That figure was mentioned to me but there was no stipulation of over 1yr, 2yr etc. The conversation may never have actually taken place although I would not be surprised if GH didn’t at least seek out an opportunity to speak with players whilst they were over. Please no one start saying things like that don’t happen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkw Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 For me the most interesting bit of this is which position they will end up playing, as both seem to be able to play several. I expect the next 12 months will see them develop into one, I hope they dont go down the "utility player" route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree also that with the right commercial package, Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Islands would actually come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea they probably would at that.. Just so we are aligned I would love to see a Aus tour next year, I just cannot see it happening without some huge shift from the RFL, and the people leading the RFL could not manage their way out of a paper bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
