RUMOUR = Morrison has signed a new deal at wakey

The new coach is Peter Gentle and he is bringing Chris Heighington, Keith Galloway and, erm, erm, Benji Marshall. Then Gareth Ellis for the 2013 season.

Hull KR sign Sheffield utility player Misi Taulapapa. hullkr.co.uk/robins-sign-up-taul ... r-2012-583 Seems with this and some of Bradford's signings, the quality of imports is on a sharp decline.

What a prat you are. Jordan cox, Scott Taylor, Sam latus, Rich beaumont, Louis sheriff, Kris Welham, Craig Hall, Liam Watts. All British and young lads all from Hull (apart from Watts) in the first team for next year. Though you wouldn't know because of your ignorance at what's happening at Hkr! Once again, PRAT!!!!

How many from this huge list will play more than 50% of the games injury permitting

Can't say, my crystal ball has stopped working, so we will have to see when next season starts! !

fozzard to wakey

There's an obvious balance needed to a whole squad, but Morrison, Lauititi, Southern, Wilkes & possibly Fozzard signed up, and you let young potentially good English player leave in favour of ageing past it players

You have made a couple of good signings Fox & Ellis come to mind, Gledhill reminds me a lot of Ryan Boyle, in that he was let go before he reached his potential in favour of ageing players, think it was in favour of Mitchell Sargent,
Now Cas are lacking at prop and have loaned in the likes of Parker

Not very up to date on your Rugby League are you. Out of our 25 man squad Rovers look like this.

9 Where Homegrown/Hull born players.

You can't seriously be defending the number of non-British players at HKR.
Next year there will be Webster, Green, Dobson, Clinton, Newton, Galea, Vella, O'Hara and Taulapapa. Although Lovegrove and Fisher are eligeble for Scotland, they are also Australian trained.
The other trouble is that most of these "home grown/Hull-born" names will only feature in the first team when others are injured.
I'm not one for points-scoring and "my dad's bigger that your dad" arguments but as you raised the point Castleford's non-British players for next year will be Nick Youngquest, Rangi Chase and Ryan McGoldrick (maybe Isa if he is given a new deal), considerabely less than HKR.
And a quick check seems to suggest that we have more home-grown players who have played in the first team this year that HKR.
