Seems like we have been linked with another Halifax junior - with Morgan Punchard on the radar. I hear he is a half back, but i dont know any more than that!?

Only signed him recently and hasn't figured in first team yet.He is a scrum half.

Here lies one of the major flaws in our game.

Sounds like he'd be good in a scrap!

Indeed,can see this leading to some sort of tie up with Hull FC.....

Only team willing to play us in friendlies but it seems they have used it to cream off our best players. Oh the joys of having a reserve team.

Surprised Warrington don't play us.

He only signed last month. So we have Rawsthorne and Punchard gone/going to other clubs. Therefore how are we building off the pitch ?. A production line of players for super league ?.
I'd scrap it and concentrate on the goal of top 4 every year. Otherwise what are we building for ?. Mid table mediocrity with a great platform to be out in the shop window for SL.

Might sound negative but I am failing to see what positives there are here.

There's a lot of negativity around in many areas at the moment and i can only see things getting worse in the coming months.

Who says Morgan has gone anywhere?

No-one the o/p probably got his information from the Hull fc news twitter that is linking him to them.

Its a SL thing they think they can simply come in and take any players they want. Salford thought the same with Tanagata but were disappointed.

What is the point investing in youth when super league teams pick off our best talent. The rules need looking at because it is not fair on clubs like ours who are trying to develop youngsters for our first team. Wouldn't we be better investing in first team squad and making the top 4 our priority.

There is no point in youth investment without SL or guaranteed SL type funding to give the FT career path these kids rightfully expect

I really couldn't agree more. So frustrating. Grove, shuddersfield. Oakham Citra 4.2% Mmm!
