Quote ="Saddened!"I'm looking forward to the SL v Championship Cup ties and Super 8 format this season. The Championship fans seem to be getting very bullish and confident about their sides. I know a couple of Leigh fans at work and they are as cocky as can be, both reckon they would comfortably beat Saints at home. They also say they wouldn't need to sign anyone to get in the top 8 of next years Super League either. Now people are discussing Championship players playing internationally?
I've not watched the Championship so can't really comment on how good the standards are. Hard to fathom why they aren't more signings from there given the big discrepancy on the salary cap if the players are that good however? We've seen a handful make it recently, but not exactly the flood gates I'd expect if the Championship was full of good players.'"
Whilst I agree with what you're saying, I dont understand why there has been so few Championship players signed by SL teams, given the success of Walmsley, Hill, Finn etc.
Still plenty decent enough players at this level- Brierley, Barlow, Murrell, QLT, Yere
