It could prove to be an issue. It could also work in our favour with young blokes from SU and the other clubs in the arrangement proving themselves on a loan deal so long as the scouting is though and could provide an avenue for what IMO is a lack of quality avaliable defenders in Australia at the moment and with danny out we will need good fast defenders if we are to do well in V4.
"Nab" is not the right word, the deal is that they simply get first right to bid on the players when WE decide they are up for sale. They can't say "We want Hutch, hand him over".
The beauty of the deal is that we will get young guys not just from Sheffield, but also Brazil as well as older players from China and other European countries.
I don't see it as much a partnership with Sheffield as much as it is joining a network of clubs around the world, it just happens to be organised by McCabe.
Also, I agree with the stadium, how do they expect to have any development of Bluetongue? There is like 2 metres of room!!!
