Like when Webster was a good Scrum Half? Fisher is below average yet he's stayed on a few years longer then he should have.
Quote EL CAMO="EL CAMO"And this season Rhys Lovegrove has been our best prop by some distance? '"
Sounds more like the rest of the props have been average if he's been KRs best.
Quote EL CAMO="EL CAMO"And you know for a fact that Willie Mason will not maintain his form from this season, where he has been in the top 10 for line breaks and metres made?'"
Way to miss the point

| In any other sport be it RU, Football etc signing the biggest and best players in the world is classed as being a top club no matter their nationality and yet for our sport clubs get classed as poor for signing the likes of Mason, who without a doubt is one of the best players of our generation.
Lets be honest how many of the Rovers foreign players would not make any other Super league team?
lets start with the new guys
Mason
Green (supposidly)
Older Signings
Newton
Vella
Galea
Dobson
Webster
Clinton
These guys are hardly has beens (when they signed) and have had a massive impact into taking HKR into the play offs twice once with a coveted top 4 finish.
As for the international thing Rovers in previous seasons have contributed both Fox and Briscoe to the setup which is easily forgotten.

You don't watch Rovers every week so can't see Rhys or the other props play.
Fisher maybe has been here too long but our best homegrown hooker, Scott Spaven, is not as good as him. We have brought in Hodgson, who is our future there.
And go on, tell me what the point you were making was about Mason coming for a pension.

| Quote EL CAMO="EL CAMO"I beg to differ. Players will still be given oppertunities at clubs with more Aussies but only the better players.
Do you really think that if clubs had equally good local players, they would still bring in imports?'"
YES!!!!!
Most clubs only have a development system BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO!!!
If they could get rid, they would quicker that you could say the Whino's are a good team!!!

The point was who's more likely to show more heart & effort, a young lad who's supported KR since he was a kid or an ageing Aussie - this can be swapped for every club just replace Mason with a high paid old Aussie.

So you'd rather watch a player just go through the motions not bothering than someone who trys their heart out every week?
No wonder the league is a joke when people have that attitude.

| I can garantee that i have never in the last 10 years bought my pass on the basis of who is playing for Rovers never mind what nationality they are, i have also never bought one on the principle that we may have several GB/England stars of the future playing in any particular season.
I buy my pass on the basis that the guys who run out may they be White,Black,Orange or Gold, English, Scottish, PNG or Aus want to play for my team and not my country.
Should i decide to watch England that is my choice but come domestic match day i have none!!!

Not what I said at all.
I would rather watch a good player then a "trier."

Possibly because they were already established Super League regulars before they joined HKR. Fox had established himself as a regular at Wakefield whilst Briscoe had more than 130 first grade appearances to his name. They are hardly "products" of the KR system.

| Quote Saddened!="Saddened!"Overseas players do add to Super League. But you should be able to link the profile of the sport to the international game. The Union TV deal is bigger than League's despite lower viewing figures. It's because the sport has a national profile, afforded to it by the international game.
If we don't have a competitive England team we don't have a viable international game (Only 2 teams). If we don't have that it reduces the profile of the sport and it's the reason none of the news agencies or newspapers will touch league. It's so small fry.
The attitude of clubs like Wigan and Hull KR is like yours, they care only for their own club and it's success and don't have the long term vision to see how developing English players is key to the sports' future.'"
That was close to a sensible post until the last paragraph.

Have you been listening to rado humberside?
Masons made one line break all season.
