Is this supposed to be taken seriously ?

In a competition which is of the standard of an average amateur game, there are no average foreigners ? Please......they are all average and shouldn't be taking the position from a British lad.

For your information, if it was upto myself, the quota would be limited a lot more in SL as well.


A typical comment from another one eyed armchair supporter. The username says it all really.

To say the Championship is of the standard of the average amateur game is utter lunacy, if that was the case then all the amateur teams in the Challenge Cup would be playing at the weekend wouldnt they? Or have all but 1 been knocked out?

Stop drinking the Whisky mate.

Dear me.

Spot the National League supporter.

Look, just an observation but the National Leagues are like watching paint dry, even with all these awesome foreigners.

I havent seen any "National League" games on tv this year. If you are on about the Championship, simple. Dont watch it.

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!

Seems you don't have many positive takes on Super League either.

We have professional rugby players in the SL who cannot pass accurately to both sides, thats how bad the situation is.


You could go and watch men in skirts tossing off the caber - maybe that'll keep your paint wet?

The entire 17 at Leigh for the past two games have been GB-qualified (i'd say England, but McConnell and Watson are Scotland and Welsh internationals respectively). If anything, there are far more 'average' foreign players (in terms of being comparitive to other players at that level) knocking about in Super League than there are in the Championships. Certainly tended to be a case of quality, not quantity, when it comes to foreign players at this level (which, might I add, way above the "standard of an average amateur game", as Challenge Cup results would back up).
