Mugwump mocking mental illness for a second time -

"You are mentally ill and I can't indulge your madness any more"

Utter disgusting abusive remark from a keyboard warrior

But Mac's view whilst good for the game is also good for Saints and the incumbent powers.

I think there has to be an element of Marquee for clubs without the years of SL stability to boost their chances earlier.

The club grown route would take years to reach the same heights in the mean time those clubs get battered by those who can spend far more on quality club grown players. They lose fans and get relegated.


The bulls (twice), Wakefield, London, Salford all nearly gone to the dogs in recent years and now we want to spend 100s of thousands on marquee players. Surely that doesn't make sense?


The only way clubs can sustain their own future is by developing players.

Had the good DR put anything in place at Salford for their youth ?

Leeds are the perfect example of how a good club is run. The success they have had with home grown talent is amazing.

I hope Salford get relegated.

They have apparently improved and expanded their scouting network. It's very hard to start from virtually nothing, but he has the resources if he's serious to really build a great platform for Salford. Let's see how much he really wants to spend.
Under the home grown rule he could pay Stefan Ratchford anything he wanted, I wonder what Wires price for a release would be?

I'm late coming to this but what has this got to do with ANYTHING?

McManus is spot on. Focus on the development of players for a sustainable future. Going head to head with the NRL for players will just lead to inflated wages and we'll end up in the mess we have been in again.

If every team put as much into youth development as Leeds, Saints and Wigan the game would be in a much better state than it is.

Also, can someone explain to me why widnes voted for this?! Crazy.

O'conner won't put massive amounts in. He's already said that many times.

I know, but why the vote for the marquee? unless he's planning of selling it to the Dr

The Dr hasn't got the game at heart at all. All he wants to spend spend spend. He doesn't care about British talent or England competing at international level he just care about himself and Salford.

Why isn't he campaigning for all youth players that come thru the system only count a % of their salary? That's a idea that has the game at heart.

All he wants is the salary cap abolished so he can blow all the other clubs out the water and when he's bored, he walks away with his millions and leaves Salford in the $hit.

Just to confirm, is the 'Home grown rule' definitely coming in next season. I read on the RFL website, the document relating to the new league structure and this was included. However I can not find any official confirmation that this rule has been sanctioned and will come into force next season.
