If you read the article properly you could come up with better than that.

I'm sure the majority of fans will support NH and the Board over this.

At least put the link to his interview,

Here is some advice.
In future actually read an article before you post and comment on it as it will stop you looking a fool.

Don't spoil it for him, he thought hed come up with something witty and that he'd be the envy of all his mates, and you shoot him down, poor lad.

Now far be it from me going against anybody having a go at Rovers,but what are you on about?
The very first line is a statement about cutting down on Aussie players,so whats your point?

Masochism?

Enjoys everyone laughing, pointing and shouting "Look at the =#FF0000Edit-AS!"

As other posters have pointed out, you need to read the article in the context it was meant. Because of the change in the salary cap in Australia plus the excange rate and tax law changes, it is going to be nigh on impossible for any super league clubs including Wigan and Waringtom etc, to attract big name Ausies over here in the future, at least not without taking a huge slice of their salary caps.
Therefore it is for that reason that i believe most clubs in super league will have to look closer to home and in particular their home grown talent i.e. under 20s etc for their future stars.
Hull kr imo are not in too bad a position with some very good prospects coming through the ranks though it will be a year or two before one or two of them will come to the fore.
During this time i think it makes good sense to sign players like Taylor and Hodgson on long term deals with James Green and Salter not far behind and retain the services of Galea etc to help bring them on, plus a couple of good Australian signings of the calibre of Blake Green and Micheal Dobson if they can be found for the right price.
With regards to Ben Galea, personaly i would love the club to offer him a coaching position at Rovers after he hangs up his playing boots, as his experience and knowledge would be invaluable in helping the younger talent coming through in the future.

Well done, no really, that is simply amazing. How someone can interpret that article so catastrophically wrong is something very special. Do you ring in to radio Humberside by any chance?

Now this is crass, coming from an idiot who can't be bothered (or is unable) to actually read the article properly.

Im sure this was part of the reason they went with Sandercock as head coach, given he has a proven track record in Australia of bringing through young players into first team squads successfully.

I think this is a smart move, if we can budget well to afford maybe 2 or 3 marquee signings/1st team squad members and bring through a large number of the rest of the team internally it will put us in good stead, Its a tactic that seems to serve the likes of Leeds and Wigan well
