Quote Huddshay="Huddshay"Thankfully i missed today's game, working and saving for France, so was listening to the game on't wireless. I was amazed to hear MC say he wished he had the luxury of bringing three aussie players in mid season as Gateshead have done. What a smack in't face for the players he has at the club, although after yesterday they need to stop and have a good look at themselves. But it is an even bigger smack in't face to the directors of the club who have provided the funds to bring in all the very good players we have. Matt Calland needs to concentrate on his own role as coach because with the players he has at the club we need to be winning trophies and not be known as also-rans.'"
I get what you are saying but I have to ask how many Aussies did Gateshead have in their team yesterday?
Do they bring Aussies in mid season to save costs or just get those who want some game time? Plus how the hell can they afford them on crowds of a few hundred?
The point is this is not a level playing field - okay it sounds like sour grapes but any team that could bring in some half decent Aussies mid season will definitley benefit.
Its this 'expansion clubs' at any cost thing that annoys me. We cannot win can we, have a go about it and we get accused of 'flat cappers' a term I hate or support it and cut our own throats.
No win situation, another RFL disaster zone.
Ask cas fans how they feel about expansion clubs???
