They kept Oli and released Joe?

Yep. No other genuine hooker. Oli is nowhere near Joe's level.

Joe and Rowley have both signed for Bulls

Wonder whether they have kept in touch with Corey Johnson? Surely he must have second thoughts.

None

We have had so many dissapointments over so called talented juniors in recent years who have not improved that i no longer get over excited , how much of that has been over hype and how much has been poor coaching who knows . Fingers crossed these two lads make it .

One step at a a time, there’s a lot to do for the kids and a lot of luck needed, but I’m sure they’re often reminded that good habits generally have good outcomes.

Good that they mentioned other (not by name) young players who get lauded and then fail to make it, but hopefully he is right about these two.
We have all seen this n that next big thing who don't live up to expectations, and some fans complain that X player was not given a chance. The right attitude is massive at this age and Agar/the club thinks both have it. Attitude can get you Way above your lack of talent, talent alone can often lead to failure.

Attitude + talent will get you a long long way.

Think we have been spoiled with such a wealth of quality from 1997-2010 ish, just look at the talentent players who we had to let go who still had great Super league careers elsewhere, likes of Carvell, Scruton, Dowes, Peter Fox, Mathers, Jonny Hepworth, And so many more, we simply had too many good young players and could not keep them all. We have had a barren spell, hopefully in the next 10 years if we get half as many good players as that period we will have another great mainly home grown team.

Quality Mr Highwayman
