Quote ="Richie":tvzj54dyWhat about player x who was released from the academy who could have been quite prepared to play for £100 a week? What about player y who was released from someone else's academy who was prepared to play for Leeds for £100 a week?'"
:tvzj54dy
factually: he isn’t a professional Rugby League player.
Quote :tvzj54dyand if I had suggested picking out pet dogs and cats, you would have a point there. However I have only suggested rugby league players. So whilst you can't put stethoscope on a chimp and call him a doctor, you can put a stethoscope on a medical student and a year later call him a doctor.'"
:tvzj54dyYou don’t get to become a Dr by simply completing a years work experience as a doctor. You have to reach, and prove, a certain level of competence. Which is why, try as you might, SL academy players, Championship players and amateur players aren’t professional rugby league players.
Quote :tvzj54dyIt's conceivable, but considering GH's success, it's most likely he's picked the option that will provide the best ROI/value. Whether he was cheaper or not was never in question.'"
:tvzj54dyWhy? Where on earth is your logic in that conclusion? If the SC has put SBW beyond reach it doesn’t matter a jot what ROI/Value he offers, he could be the bargain of the century, he could give an ROI/Value many times greater than Achurch, we still cant bring him in, the SC has meant the question isn’t Who offers the best ROI/Valu SBW/Achurch, its well we cant buy SBW, should be buy Achurch. You are inventing a situation where SBW was a choice that was rejected when the SC meant he wasn’t ever an option.
Quote :tvzj54dyI'd suspect what would be more likely to happen, and as seen in the past, is we actually end up with Achurch and someone else, and our younger players not playing.'"
:tvzj54dyOur young players do play, our Back Line will likely be Hardaker, BJB, Watkins, Ablett, Hall. Ablett is the oldest at 26. Our first team squad also includes, Hood, McShane, Clarkson, Ward, Keinhorst, Briscoe and Singleton.
Quote :tvzj54dyYour statement was that "goes out to recruit the cheapest" which as we hae clearly seen is not the case. Again, this is where discussions fall down with you. I'm sure you really don't actually believe that statement yourself, but you will keep arguing it, and back yourself into such a corner, we can't go anywhere else.'"
No, I have been quite clear, that we recruit the cheapest to a point. That point being when you start being ridiculous and pretending a league full of youth players, Lower league players, and amateurs on £100 per week could realistically describe itself as a fully pro league.
