And Behold, a pale horse. And on his back his name was death.

The weekend starts on a Monday.

11 Touchdowns in 18 appearances for scum in his 1st super league season, their joint top try scorer with p.Ah Van.

they should have broken the bank to keep him, pure class is Shadders!

Pia must be forking out some serious wonga!

FAILURE ISN'T ABOUT FALLING DOWN, FAILURE IS STAYING DOWN..........

Re: royston leaving bulls : Thu Aug 11, 2011 2:44 pm  
There's something wrong with this whole situation I.M.O. we're getting all giddy about a player, a foreign player, who chose to leave us to further his career which we almost entirely endorsed at the time. His current club have made him an offer for next year & he's opted to move clubs & country, now, yet again, without knowing the terms of his contract it's probably an attractive offer, but I'm a firm believer in the bigger picture and he's another import moving around to earn his wages.
When are we going to improve our game by bringing through our kids, local kids ?
The Jacob Fairbank trial has been an interesting comparison for me, having had our salary cap slashed we tried the dual reg opportunity and Fairbank has been fantastic, but what happens ? He shows enough promise to get his first grade call up with the parent club & we miss out on his development even when they have a free week last weekend.
We're being shafted the whole way through this game.
I'd like to see a maximum of one overseas player or coach per club below SL level. We are basically now just a talent feeder for SL clubs who are in turn now a feeder club for the NRL.
Shad's left Bradford, they've recently announced another couple of foreign imports for next season, the game's on it's booty, these foreigners they keep bringing in are hardly packing Odsal out nowadays are they ?

Exactly. Dual-reg is only there so SL clubs can signup more players than they need and keep them happy with game time in Champs.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

[quote="Norman Bates"]

Not completely happy with the DR system , it has worked for us and the players we have had

Matty Blythe has improved after a lot of game time for us last year , will be at Widnes in SL next season

Jake Emmit ( or ' Unit ' as he became known at Leigh ) once again gained a lot of game time and a move to Cas after spending most of last season with us

McCarthy and Mitchell both have had loan spells in SL after playing for us last year

This year we have had Tom Armstrong ( :wink: ) and Rhys Evans , both have improved

So yes we are providing training and game time for junior SL players , which with lower player numbers than we'd like have helped us

Is it right ? , well it's not ideal , but then again I suppose if it brings on young British talent , it is working

.

Give the lad a break, he's probably got a couple years before his little one starts school at which point I'd imagine they'd move back to Australia which is probably why he's made his move now rather than later.
