Of course it is.
We get them all back though, so how does this affect us again? I thought you didn't like the "jobs for the boys" retention policy?
Don’t think you understand the term job for the boys. Bringing in Sam Powell to the coaching staff when he retires is job for the boys. Bringing back Sam Tomkins isn’t. Even then he’s clearly on about the players we’ve lost to rivals that would walk into our 17 now

So in short opinion on the player is what decided if its job for boys or not or in other words it's a bunch of horse kak.

Well no. Bringing back Sam Tomkins when he had a good first year at the warriors and would walk into any team in the league is a bit different to offering Sam Powell a job at the club because he’s liked

The other reason that we have not had a period of dominance is because we have lost too many quality homegrown players.
Nothing to do with homegrown players
Of course it is.
Now if you had said it was because we have lost too many quality players. then I would have agreed, where players are born has nothing to do with success

I'm sure your right Josie Press reporters are lazy when making reports on most things.
Reporters are many things but seldom lazy. This vicious industry doesn't carry passengers.
Besides, if reporters are so bad why does this site cut+paste so much editorial?
Maybe the item is merely click-bait and, here, successful in the aim of reads - if not clicks and associated revenue.
No the so called "vicious industry" is lazy relative to use of appropriate use of accuate honest reporting but that's fine isn't it ?news papers! Only fit for the nail in the long gone nail in the bog! Since toilet roll is cheap these days newspaper sales have continued to plummet

Its all about clicks. No clicks, no revenue, no job. This encourages click bait headlines, and even worse sometimes blatant untruths (although I don't think Serious About RL goes that far yet!).

Ok Meds. If you want to be pedantic, too many quality academy players have been allowed to leave.

There's nothing pedantic about what Med's points out, he's simply saying what he would have agreed with and that where someone was born is irrelevant which you acknowledge subsequently but qualifying that in saying he's being pedantic. Come on mate he's just expressing a fact
