Niall is a quiet lad. And a very pleasant lad. But Harris has no concept of using homegrown talent and, seemingly, no ability to foster bought in talent either. Theo may be preferred because he is "French international" or because he wants to leave and the boss has said so.

The number of talented young players who have become disenchanted with SRD and either packed in playing, or are elsewhere in the lower divisions rather than be subject to this regime, is unbelievable.

In my opinion, Alan Hunte did a great job with very few resources and the players he produced in the last couple of seasons were ignored in favour of big name, big money, none producers.

And they wonder why they get so little support? You reap what you sow!

We need to get the ball into MCB's hands more as his pace all round is frightening, when you look at the pace/power we have from 1 - 5 why on earth aren't we chipping over the top, kicking on the 1st or just putting a very early high hail mary up.

I absolutely love Niall Evalds. Criminal decision by Harris to drop the kid for the last two games, I wonder what Watson would have done had Rangi not been injured? He has still got a long way to go, 5 minutes left, slender lead, Catalan bomb and the pressure gets to him and he drops it. All that will come with experience though.

I have to agree re the wingers, it was noticeable yesterday that we were definitely trying to get the ball out to them much more than we have done previously. MCB was a joy to watch when given some open space infront of him, unstoppable.

As well as Rangi whats happened to Greg Johnson I thought he was playing ok?

Spoke to him yesterday..said he should be back for Hull KR. Also spoke with Tommy Lee who said he should be back for Leeds.

The 2012 Academy team came top of the table and were screwed in the play-offs by club finances, super league CEOs who wanted the to do away with u20s and a Head Coach was was determined not to be overshadowed. A Walne was sidelined for most of that season then left the club to join Workington. Alan Hunte bought him back during his short tenure as Head Coach.

Others of that team, who were clearly capable of beating Wigan, Leeds and St Helens finest youngsters, many of who are in those clubs' first teams, are either out of the game or playing in the lower leagues because they became disenchanted with the regime.

The club only played lip service to the Academy system but produced a top team which was pushed to one side when the so called super stars were bought in.

How much better might it have been with local lads with passion for the club, playing in front of their family friends and neighbours?

Let's face it. Could they have done much of a worse job?
