Quote: gutterfax "Oh the Irony......do you think that any fan of fulhamcrusaderbroncoquins isn't aware of the time needed to develop youngsters? It's just that for the first 10 years of SL we were branded a team full of aussies who had no place inthe top flight because RL wasn't catching on in the south..........HKA on the other hand are a team based in a heartland region.....you should have plenty of feeder clubs etc to attract players from.......there is no reason for you to have 10 overseas players on your books other than short term glory hunting.

As for envy? I would suggest that apart from you having 5,000 more fans than us, I would suggest that we are stronger pretty much everywhere else off the pitch and we have won exactly the same number of trophies as you on the pitch....0

I will be the first to congraulate you and your club if you win some silverware in 2011.....but I do worry for your next few years.......you have very few (if any) England representatives at under age level........and your Aussies will get old/bored/cold and go home....what then?'"


HKR emerged from almost two decades in the underworld of the lower leagues, with small crowds, admin and attempts to drive them out of existence into the gleaming world of Superleague just 4 seasons ago. You expect them to have hung on to a top rate development system throughout all of that?

Glory hunting? Short term strategy for building a strong and sustaining club that doesn't have its fans worrying all season (and closed season) whether they will exist by the start of the next. I've read plenty of your over-exercised posts about the inability of 'Quins to attract fans (and understand where your frustration comes from) but to slag off another club's apparently successful strategy in building a robust position in the comp seems a little churlish to me.

Meanwhile, looks as though the HKR academy is doing ok... check out the 29th May 2010

Finally, when the London Broncos band of merry mercenaries were getting into the play-offs on a regular basis there was a lot more spirit and cohesion in the club than there is now that it has to sit under the Union shadow.

Jack Latus is a good player but is too old for under 20s rugby so Rovers had no-where to play him. He only covered at stand off due to injuries in the reserves so dont expect him to feature there for you guys. Personally i think he could go on to make a very solid full back with the only concern being that he may be a yard short of pace for Super League level.

You've just got annoying

Quote: gutterfax "Fulhamcrusaderbroncoquins are 30 yrs old.......'"
plenty of time to build a decent fanbase then

Quote: gutterfax "Hull Kingston Australians had a 100yr head start. 20yrs out of the top flight is no reason for a proud Rugby League region like yours to let things slide...'"
Hmmm, and only out of admin for 10 years, which kind of puts things virtually back to 0.

Quote: gutterfax "with 450,000 travelling fans'"
that'll be 449,947 more than yours then?

Quote: gutterfax " Hull Kingston Australians have more overseas players going into their 5th season than London RL did........'"

18 overseas players.... wow
2 things.
1. I asked a question. Who was in administration 10 years ago.
2. 17....we had 17. If you are going to the trouble of counting them (I knew someone would), get it right. Yusef Sozi held a British Passport from Birth even though he was born in Kampala.
So...a team created for SL in an area with no RL Pedigree was made up of players from Cumbria, Manchester, Wales, London (2) and the southern hemisphere at the start of their 5th season.......how long have HKA existed?

Btw..It is a serious question...who was in admin 10 years ago?
