Exactly. Whilst most clubs work their socks off to improve things and try to develop British talent and in turn help the national side and in turn help the sport's profile, there are those clubs so concerned/desperate for success that they have a different mindset. Instead of looking for ways to cut overseas players they look for ways around the system, exemptions and passport dodges. Same with the cap, while most sides look to abide by the rules there are those that look for ways to beat the system, to get away with cheating.
Clearly Saddened you are just to fickle to reason with yourself. Look at the british talent wigan have developed. THIS SEASON academy players have been promoted and played
BEN DAVIES
JONNY WALKER
CHRIS TUSON
LEE MOSSOP
STEFAN MARSH
JOSH CHARNLEY
LIAM FARRELL
have all made their mark on the super league in their debut season, yes mossop played 3 or 4 games last year but he is now a first team regular. Clearly by most clubs you are referring to wigan there as we this year are developing 7 players who could all appear in the England team so you are either too thick to look at the facts or are just envious due to the quality of player which wigan have signed because they are of the highest quality of NRL stars which are coming over here.
You can furthermore see that you are living at least 5 years ago with your comments regarding salary cap cheating. Wigan have gone through a change of ownership and Mr.Lenegan is the type of chairman who would never break the salary cap. You are still tarring the wigan name with the same brush because you are unwilling to face facts that wigan are an improving side and on the up again! Can you not see that these Aussies coming in are going to improve the standard of british rugby league overall?
In response to your later post regarding Saints rumoured to be signing Michael Shenton and LMS you state that it is not always Australians who should be going for. Wigan actually offered a pretty hefty contract to shenton, when we where unsure as to whether carmont was going to retire and he turned this down for the saints offer. Lenegan has again come out and said that English players demand too much money. Again you are unwilling to read up on this and base your arguement on your idiotic opinion. Wigan attemepted to lure these players but where unwilling to pay their ridiculous salary demands.
So do not be triping all this rubbish before reading! I've never read such envious posts from a supporter!
