If you can't see how having lots of inexpeirnced average youngsters playing the game will make our competition worse and the English team then I'll throw that idiot right back at ya.

Lets be honest you've only started this thread to try to have a go at Rovers.

That would be the 'cup final' I was talking about please tell me which OTHER cup final you were in in the last 5 years that would make it change into 'cup final's'?
Like I said you are clearly a bit thick.

Indeed and all he has done is make himself look an utter t!t.

Your last part maybe was, but your first part is totally irrelevent and a common misunderstanding of how the merger worked.

Plus I'll think you find the nucleus of the Hull team was made up of Hull youngsters that were in the Hull academy in the Shark days.

HULL KINGSTON ROVERS is my religion, Craven Park is my church and Jordan Abdull is my God:



The only team that suffers from this in the long run is Hull Kingston Rovers so i don't know why you are all getting your knickers in such a twist, you'd think we'd assembled a decent squad or something

You said, of 14th October 2006, that "Yes that is a 'cup final". We must come from different generations, quite possibly of lazy English, as I'd personally count the GF as a cup final - I'd also say the year now is 2010, 5 years a go is 2005 and in that year we won the CC. I apologise for my lazy English but this is the only the Internet and to think you can judge someone fully from a few posts on a message board is lazy logic. I'd like to clarify that I was counting the GF as a 'cup final' rather than trying to argue that we had attended 2 CC finals 5 years from this day... Though this has all become a little pedantic

And the England national team hence the point. ATEOTD, I blame the RFL aswell for allowing it to happen but there's no hiding from the fact that more than half of your team are not Englishmen and you still have a pretty average team.

Anyway, we can't all sit online all day (sorry pmarrow).

Clearly you have memory issues as well icon_wink.gif
FFS give it up you tried to be smart, You failed hugely,
The more you type the bigger t!t you make out of yourself.
At least you admitted it some dont have the stones to even do that.

Quote: hullkrforever "can you honestly admit that your youth set up was perfect before you got bailed out with a merger i dont think it was i seem to remember hull having to sign a load of aussie rejects when they got promoted and not rely on there youth. we had to start from scratch due to a few years previous having to scrap academy and reserve teams from being on the verge of going bust. you on the other hand got a great big helping hand from the rl/super league and also when we scraped our youth policy you got the best pick of the bunch so how can you expect us to have a top academy when its in its infancy Well, no one's perfect, but I'd say the following age/appearance data from our first post-merger season is evidence that it was adequate:
Richard Horne age 18 25 games
Paul Cooke age 19 21 games
Paul King age 21 21 games
Craig Poucher age 19 12 games
Richard Fletcher age 19 9 games
Plus a few games each for Last, Parker etc.
And the following year a debut for Yeaman at 16.

Why not stick to copying and pasting stuff articles from Wikipedia that show Mason in a bad light and adding in Craig Fitzgibbon's name but spelling and punctuating it incorrectly? icon_lol.gif

WEST COAST PIRATES NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_9857.jpg



After watching another amateurish England backline under perform it is clear Rovers having a couple more foreigners in their side than the rest of SL is the very least of the British games problems!

Or the idea of reducing overseas quotas is to give young British players more opportunities, and a consequence of the target of 5 not being enforced (and indeed allowed to be doubled in some cases) results in what you saw today. icon_lol.gif
