Does any club really need players with such baggage? Overseas players should surely be star players and one to educate British players. We can do without this type of education.

That's why he isn't here.

imo cp superleague teaks should only be allowed 2 overseas players

we have got to get some pride back in british rl some how send all those over paid lot back to aus ,and before anyone as a dig , ask yourself how many british players are playing over there ,mmmm yes i bet you can count them on one hand.

It is very hard now RC but I agree. There are so many loopholes it's crazy. It certainly feels far better watching a Wigan team with plenty Wigan lads and/or juniors in the team. We will never have adecent GB team unless we play British players.

Heard Leigh and Wigan are both having Service Area team soon. Good move.

Forgive my ignorance what/who are Service Area teams?

[cpwigan]

Previously there were town teams. They were replaced by service areas. So basically every amateur club / player playing within a certain boundary came under a Service Area normally focussed upon a professional club. Wigan & Leigh were merged as one but Leigh have always wanted their own. Hindley is put in Leigh IIRC.

Thanks for that CP shows even an" old fart" like me can learn something.

Just one more quetsion, what does IIRC mean?

[cpwigan]

If I Recall Correctly

[Sutty]

Ah I see. Thanks for clearing that up :thum:
