For the same reason Wakefield dont field a team of Wakefield born lads right now, and instead field a team with still decent amount of overseas journeymen.

There are young welsh lads coming through and more will do so.

Maybe we would if we could have kept hold of all of our players instead of the big clubs coming in a taking them.

Blaymire

Morton
Griffin
Ellis
Murphy

Brough
Wildie

Griffin
Davey
Mason
Westwood
Ferguson
Pitts

There is a team of players who all came through the Wakefield academy who are all still playing and if you ask me they would make a competitive team. Lets compare thsi team with a team made up of players who have come through the Crusaders and Quins academies.

That team would get absolutely destroyed, every single week.

I beg to differ and I think most people would agree with me.

Are you for real. That team is much better than the current one which has managed 6 wins

You mean the one that is getting destroyed most weeks and will probably finish bottom, the one which has conceded 48, 46 and 70, 52, 40 points in its last 5 games. Its probably not better if so, not by much.

Right so who in our current squad is eqivalent to the following players for starters :

Brough
Ellis
Westwood

The fact the current team has been getting hammered each week in the last month and a half is IMO down to a combination of things 1) coaching & strange team selections; 2) conditioning; 3) a relatively poor quality squad being without some of its better players during the period; 4) The uncertainty surrounding the clubs future in SL and the fact that alot of players have been having their heads turned by other clubs and their agents.

I can confidently say that if you asked Glover if he wanted to replace his current squad with the one Altofts listed he would bite your hand off and that squad would certainly not be getting hammered every week.

But.......if only........bloody expansion clubs.......it's not fair..........we promise will get a new stadium........we needed to get loan players........our academy is packed with talent.....we deserve to be in ESL......

EDITED:

Fact remains, if Wakey get the boot, they will have only themselves to blame. Same goes for Harlequins RL.....it's not like the club haven't been warned about attendances. Crusaders would also have no real complaint if they were to go either.....Bottom line is that it is a shame somebody has to go........and supposed fans of the game trying to score points over fans of the game is a bit sad really.

Which we will all see is fair and above board when Wakey and Quinns/Crusaders get kicked out on Tuesday.
