Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3515703, member: 1769"] Robert Craddock reporting that several NSW clubs are attempting to shorten the traditional 10 day State of Origin camps. the QRK are strongly opposed to this. these clubs have said that the camps are too long for the best interests of the clubs, who have found that their plays lose condition during their time away from their home bases. [B]QRL Chairman, Bruce Hatcher, said:[/B] “My advice to the clubs would be if you had a problem with it don’t sign any players you think might be playing State of Origin and see how you go,” “The camps are massive. They are really something special, chock full of coaching and media commitments. Billy Slater always says it is not his team, it’s Queensland’s team. “I understand that NSW also feel as if a 10-day camp is appropriate. The explanation we have been given is that the NRL clubs don’t like it. But I understand there is only one NRL club who have an issue with it. “We have all felt that the camp is time well spent and, for the sake of an inconvenience to a small number of clubs, it is time well spent.” [/QUOTE]
