. Quite possibly, but I'll take it under advisement.

Correct. When SL was formed, London had a 15 year history of ad hoc attempts of getting a pro RL side together....but SL wanted a London Team and as such, so as to develop the sport in the south easy, London RL were allowed to employ loads of overseas players. As a result, young lads who would have normallly played union were attracted to the game and now we have a pretty healthy conveyerbelt of local lads wanting to play League. What's HKR's excuse? Didn't you win loads of cups and leagues before SL? Are you saying that the 11 years you spent outside SL, not getting Murdochs 1.2 million were the reason you have no yoof schemes in place? 125 yrs+ of history and you get so touchy when someone brings up your over reliance on foreign players.....
Quote: hullkrforever "Hull kr is still having to learn the super league way of life so to speak you have had it handed on a plate'"
....yep. London were fastracked.....as a direct result of a request from the very people who you now get 1.2 million from every year. You can't have it both ways.......either you want 1.2 million or you want an exclusive M62 sport...which is it?
Quote: hullkrforever "I think we are doing really well considering'"
what? Considering you are based in a RL hearland, a hot bed with a rich history of success and stars of the game, you think it's acceptable to have to field foreign players because you can't fingd 30 lads locally? er...OK.
Quote: hullkrforever "I think quins to are doing well with player development'"
...yes, they are aren't they.
Quote: hullkrforever "but only because of all the help you have received from the rfl as well as super league'"
Links to evidence of this help please. Along with links to the proof that we would never have been relegated, the millions we receive on a regular basis from the RFL, the pictures of Elvis working with Michael Jackson in B&Q in telford and the yeti having a cup of coffee in starbucks.
Same crap rolled out every time with no proof.
The Current SL licences were handed out with the intention of starting to grow the game as a national sport, played in decent stadiums, with good crowds, less overseas players and more local lads representing their local teams. We fall down on crowds at Quins.....Hull Kingston Australia fall down everywhere else.
I didn't start this little spat BTW.......we had a slight infestation on the Quins board and I just responding to the utter boll0x (not even new utter boll0x) that was spouted by fans of HKA there......
I repeat, I actually think HKR do bring something to SL, but I will defend my club from un-quantifiable (sic) attacks regarding bail outs, help, assistance, back handers et al......as well as explaining the rather obvious diferences between starting a team from scratch in a new area with no heritage and letting a club with a so called proud heritage of the game, in a RL hot bed, break the rules in pursuit of a quick fix.
