new players

bringing in players at this time of the year to play in the play offs is a joke and the sooner this is made to be against the rules the better.what do you all think surely no one is in favour

I'm in agreement with your views, especially with signings coming over from the NRL for a few "guest" appearances.

If the teams signing had played in Super League for the whole season I'm not too annoyed, I'm sure a few seasons ago Leeds signed Senior from Sheffield just as the play offs started.

But what does upset me are players from the NRL coming to Super League after their commitments end to take part in the play offs and they take a players place in the team who has been playing in Super League for the whole of the season.

Surely this must have a detrimental effect on the unlucky players morale.

not in favour at all its an unfair advantage

I agree totally and I expect that this loophole will be closed shortly. Even Brian Noble admitted it was a loophole and he doubted wheter clubs could get away with it for much longer. I'm looking forward to seeing Andrew Johns play tonight all the same. It remains to be seen how well he will do but if you recruited Michael Schumacher to drive for you and you gave him a beat up Lada, then for all his brilliance he won't win the race!!

i know it will be stopped next season but if wigan had led the way in signing him would we still be moaning about the loophole in the rules.

the answer to that is no, (apart from some people on here who argue about everything )

He made sinfield look like an ammature, for all the hype about warrington signing him, i say well done and what a master stroke by the club. i know it will be stopped next season but if wigan had led the way in signing him would we still be moaning about the loophole in the rules.

Wood did the same to Sinfield too!

I don't think many people were complaining at Warrington making this move, it's when everyone follows suit which the majority of people don't like (I think).
