l imagine our home grown players and those of long standing will be absolutely thrilled, to see players from Wigan, Saints, Wakey,and an Oz who carn,t make his mind up, collecting medals (should we get to the finals), while they watch from the stands.
Said before l don,t agree with loan deals especially from other SL clubs,
we are making them into better players, for what?

We're enhancing the quality of our squad and increasing competition for places. I'm sure whilst Mossop, Fulton, Sculthorpe et al pull on the shirt they are 100% committed and are a part of our team.

Players come and go, that's the way of the world.

And heres the subtle thing

Players looking for a club, especially young ones, will see Huddersfield as a club where merit and ability come first over age and experience, where young players get a chance early and not later, and arent farmed out to other clubs...

Exactly, our young promising players are having to sit in the reserves whilst all these loan players are taking their chance in the 1st team. A young player might as well get a contract with Saints or Wigan, at least they will get a loan deal with another SL club.

Not sure there are loads of young giants missing out because of Moore and Mossop. You could argue Carlile and Patrick. Though I suspect if we did not have Moore on loan a more experienced 9 would have been signed.

The average age of SL debuts is around 21/22 - I think. So I think Carlile is being brought on well.

We have Bruno and Leroy now settled in. We have J Griff / Patrick / Carlile / McNally / McGilvray coming through. Plus players like Fairbanks Walker and Fletcher a few years away. No one really being held back.

2, 3 players loaned out at the moment?

shh

Though they arent loaned to SL clubs are they, but to lower leagues to learn their trade

Point taken.

He's going to be a cracking player.

Enjoy watching him while you can



He should be in our 17

It does seem odd that he cannot get into your team but can get into a team above you.

You guys need to stop relying on foreign talent and start trusting the lads coming through your own system. Okay, you may get a lull in performance for a season on two but you'd have a much better, home grown team which would give that sense of ownership back to the fans.

There is a lot more wrong with our club than just not using homegrown talent really. Radlinski's book is meant to give a good insight into that (not read it yet meself) The culture within the club just isn't right at the moment.

I do agree with what you say though. Bring through the younger players (you can see yourselves with Lee they are good enough) and have a small number of top class overseas players. Amongst that we need leaders for the youngsters to look up to and who will help them develop as players., in the mould of Farrell, Radlinski and more recently Barrett and Fletcher. Lockers and Bailey are the only 2 guys who seem the type of players to do this and Bailey will move on at the end of the season to accomadate younger players like Mossop.
