I have to agree with Iestyn.

[url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_league/7932382.stmHarris asks for overseas age cap[/url

Harris' idea would mean overseas stars over 30 would not be allowed to play in the European game.

I like this Idea....ALOT!
It is the Right Way to Go; and I suppose at Leeds we can think of it with not much worry. But for Clubs like Bradford whose best performers so far this season (Morrison and Menzies) are both "older" players I'm sure the argument will be why not if there under our oversea's quote. Interesting Argument though from Iestyn....

Interesting argument, but one that would have robbed the British game of players such as Furner and Glanville, to name but two.

Whilst I'd happily agree with it's introduction, I don't think for one second it would get past any sort of legal challenge.

The principle is great but legally i doubt it's enforcable!!

That just shows how good the quility of Aussie players are!

Not so sure I agree with it. I am also not so sure that Leeds would have the set up we currently have with this in place.

Sometimes the older experienced, but still stars, are required in order to bring along the juniors. This is why Leeds have got to where we have. These lads were not just thrown in, we have always had the odd old head to bring them along. And usually those old heads are over 30.

Right now we have Buderus who was planned to bring along McShane. Desipte Buderus not playing fully yet, the feeling from the club is that his involvement has been invaluable to the likes of McShane.

Personally I prefer a reduction in imports to an age limit.

Is it discrimination?

Not allowing somebody to work because of their age? Yes, it is discrimination.

Racist?

Ageist?

Never going to happen.

Perhaps he should also think of a ban on Union clubs signing league backs under the age of 30 at the same time.

Why is it hard?

You fantasize over the Harris Ferrino?

Fantastic.

You just dont like it becasue I more famous Portugese Person then you in UK!

I have special Lap Dancing Lady!

But Ferrino, I am real person. I'm special. Not just alter ego of the Steve Coogan


Fantastic.

But we have 1 thing in Comon Special One, we both want Manchester to Lose.

Tyrants?
City?
United?
Phoenix?

I can't take anything Iestyn says seriously when he's on the TV.

Not until he sorts those bloody hands out.

Iestyn 'Jazz Hands' Harris.

We want the Sky TV deal Manchester United

IMO, A better idea would be to scrap the quota as it stands altogether and to change it to say eight, non-five nations qualified players in any starting seventeen. This could be reduced by one each year down to a maximum of five in any starting seventeen.

Then it would not matter whether a player was from Australia, New Zealand, Samoa or Outer Mongolia - if they don't qualify to play for England, Scotland, N Ireland, Wales or France then they count on the quota.

Or would that just be too simple an idea?
