It seems that this james grant agency likes to take league players to union after taking chris ashton and what looks like joel to rugby union. surely there must be something we can do to stop this happening. maybe not let this agency get involved with anyone in our team.

then another agency will do it, then another........



sadly, money talks!

i think that the rfl has to take a look at things and try and find some conclusion that will help things like this happening again its getting ridiculous

Its is rediculous how they have someone emplyed to 'spot a rugby league player with the potential to switch to union.'

why is it getting ridiculous, we did it for years and it was ok, boot on the other foot and it's the end of our game, there aren't half some drama queens on this site ffs

Im sick of seeing this excuse to be honest. Just because we did it to them for years doesnt mean we should bend over and let them do it to us now.

exactly somethign needs to be done otherwise we are gonna end up with hardly any english players in our division and then the national team is gonna get even worse

I think some people need to go and do a bit of research about restraint of trade regulations before embarrassing themselves further.

yeah and we gave them a living. When they came to us they were not being paid by union. Also when a player left there game they used to take pictures of the code switcher off there club house wall and act like they never existed. Thats how well they took losing there players.

Jonathon Davies, Gareth Edwards and Gareth Davis (All ex Wales RU players) was talking on Welsh tv on Sunday evening and Gareth Davies asked them what is the difference between professional era RU and amaetur RU. Jonathon Davies replied they pay tax now and less brown paper bags.

Nonsense. We gave amateur players, almost exclusively Welsh, a chance to earn a living playing sport. They were not contracted to anyone and could not earn their living at sport playing RU or they would not have come in the first place.



To suggest amateur players deciding to go and do something which their sport actually forbade (earn money playing) is the same thing as what is going on here is what is ridiculous.

Well I think he must have been referring to the likes of Guscott rather than himself and others from the WRU. How many brown paper bags do you think the likes of Boston and others like him before the more modern era of Davies were getting? If they could have made a living at it they would have stayed put and RU has always had the money to pay it. They chose not to because they were just wrapped up in their own outdated amateur ethos.
