Guff, yes we should be keeping these players but let's be honest even when we were in SL doing well our bodies through the turnstile, or past the table as it is now, we're not massive. So when a team comes along and says to LMS come to us we will pay you XXX we do not have the money to compete, same with k Dixon, trust me he is on a pretty penny. But you can say the same for every club in the league, the bigger clubs as well as bringing through some of there own cream of the crop from there own development squads they take the best from the smaller clubs, it happens in every sport.
Why do they do better? Because they are playing alongside other quality players, learning from them and have the benefit of better facilities at those clubs.
It's pro sport
