Gaz is back - but do we also have to take Sonny Bill

Well the Terrograph says it all on page 1. "Stop the boats" we don't want the undesirables entering the country, and underneath is a photo of Mark Gaznier. This pretty much sums up my mood about the rugby casts offs as well. Basically since the big money of international rugby dried up when the TV ratings did we have been forced to repatriate Rugby refugees are looking to return in the prospect of an vastly increased salary cap.

Forget the refugee's escaping from a war zone what about the English super league migrants escaping Euorzone tax havens. After a year of sunning himself on French Riviera the Gaz is back trying to impress the selectors, but with match stats of no line breaks, seven tackles and one missed tackle he has a long way to go to force his way into a starting spot in Dragons first grade - although a bench spot for NSW origin this year is not out of the question.

With the return of many league players from union the average height and weight of the wallabies backline has fallen from 191cm when Lotte and where's wendle where in there to 187cm today.

Why do we have to take them back, why can't we just keep developing and exporting talent, its our second biggest export after coal. If you abandon ship that's it pal your gone for good.

Even teams in a ultimate competitive advantage are still happy to pick casts offs. Remember these quotes;

"The team and I endorse the action of the QRL in dropping Israle for the good of the game" Darren Lockyer Sunday 2.30pm before the selected the Queensland team for game 2

"Welcome back mate" Darren, Tuesday 8am.

All the chickens are coming home to roost, flying in from their tax havens trying to escape the nuclear winter that is the inevitable collapse of the Eurozone curency. Hopefully it wont get to the stage where we not only get the expats back but we start getting all the European players escaping to play in NSW. We dont want to get to the situation that they are in with the Engish premier League Soccer, where only a third of players in the league are acctually English and they are generally the bottom third of players. So when it comes to the world cup they get thrashed.

No for the good of the game we need to stick to the system home grown talent and lets start by putting any player returning from overseas on Christmas island.
