Quote: SmokeyTA "where is it then? where are the 18 year olds you were scouting 3 years ago? where are the lower league players you have attempted to polish into an SL player? If you are doing it rather than paying lip-service where are the results?

no i wouldnt, im more than comfortable, and in fact would positively encourage long term development of young players, if 10 years down the line you still havent progressed then that would be something to look at, but it would be more than happy to see the lower clubs like yours follow the lead of Quins and Castleford and put your trust in the youngsters, and when adding to the squad looking at british players rather than NRL reserve graders'"


We've gone through this before some time ago Smokey (prior to SL being expanded) when you then insisted that the competition would be weakened because by definition there were not SL quality players outside SL because if there were they would already be at a SL club. At least be consistent with your arguments otherwise you might appear to have an agenda which entails arguing a point purely because the target is Hull KR. icon_wink.gif

If there are such players (and I believe that there are as a matter of fact because we've signed such players in the past, I don't know what you really think because you keep changing your mind as long as it gives you a stick to beat HKR with) then Hull KR can take 1 fourteenth of the blame for not spotting them.

And please don't give me the Harlequins argument when they are only using the players they are because they can't afford to sign anyone better, British or otherwise. icon_thumb.gif

Quote: SmokeyTA "then you should have no issue with making the contribution to the development of british players as befits an SL club do you

that was 4 years ago, the fact Hull KR may have needed to bring in overseas players to try and stay in the league years ago doesnt influence signing a 23 year old NRL reserve grader for next year at all.'"


What were your opinions of our signing of Dobson? icon_biggrin.gif

How do you think our under 18's have done this season? icon_wink.gif

lets face fellow kr fans our club should be foreign player free and have a academy team full of stars all that in four seasons. because lets face it other teams can do what they want .but when it comes to our club where being slated left right and centre they must be at least three threads on here that are slating us for different things. i give up arguing with some of you people on here because your expectations for a team promoted from national league one/championship in under four seasons is unreal i wounder what people will be saying about widnes when there promoted ??????

Cas got relegated twice and lost most of their youngsters but still don't have 10 overseas players in the team.

Nobody is saying that at all. But you keep exaggerating to try and make it out that other fans have a vendetta against KR.

and how have they gone since being promoted? We talk about the NRL's intensity and wish SL was more intense then when new sides come in we moan as they try to build the best squad they can to be competitive. You can't have it both ways!

ps I am taking great pleasure in watching our mainly overseas pack steamroll FC! icon_smile.gif

Won the same amount of trophies as you. Actually, I lie. We've won the Adam Watene Memorial Trophy.

Doesn't matter how many you win if you don't win anything as a result.

But FYI, Hull KR have won 55% over last two seasons, Cas 45% in all competitions.

You've only won six more games over past two seasons.

Not sitting at home smug. I long for the day all clubs produce a number of youth. Not only will it make England better but it will strengthen our clubs too.

Quote: SmokeyTA "and that is relevant to what i put because?'"


Because you are hypothesising a situation where clubs could sign more and more overseas players and suggesting that this is in some way Hull KR's fault. The RFL determine how many overseas players a SL club can sign. Hull KR (like all SL clubs) need to operate within the rules laid down by the RFL, if those rules don't create a make up of players at SL clubs that you prefer it is the operational rules (which Hull KR adhere to) and not Hull KR's fault that you don't like it.

Quote: SmokeyTA "If hull kr cant run themselves in a sustainable way with the RFL needing to prescriptively legislate for them then they dont deserve a place in SL'"


So, for all the elements that make up a good, solid SL club, for all the tangible improvements that Hull KR have made prior to promotion and after promotion, for the things that Hull KR have brought to the SL and enriched the competition by on this one matter you think Hull KR don't deserve a place in SL? icon_wink.gif

Quote: Old_Faithful_IAKW "The worst thing is, it probably won't.

Mason's a decent player and so are Galea and Newton. Dobson's your best player and no one has heard of Green so I won't comment on him however Clinton is average, Lovergrove is average, [sizeFisher is way below average,[/size Websters been average for you, Vella is shot,'"



Great try from that average player last night c020.gif

Quote: Gavin Miller - Legend "Great try from that average player last night

I'm guessing he is feeling rather silly right about now as this squad of avg and below avg players handed FC their ar5es last night! Wonder what it says about their overseas signings of the last couple of years? icon_lol.gif
