[quote="Khlav Kalash":mt9bpxbk]Fundamentally we signed him on a 1 year extension, meaning other clubs are free to talk to his agent now. KR are way ahead of us in terms of competing but behind us in youth products so are buying what they feel they are missing (although Booth isn't a product of our academy) and are an attractive proposition for players. I don't get the outrage really. He showed up well in the championship but never pushed anyone out of position, so why all the gnashing of teeth now. Edit - Just seen it's a loan move, so the noise will increase but it doesn't change anything if Booth was off in 26 anyway, in fact it means we have an extra body for this season.[/quote:mt9bpxbk] exactly

[quote="PopTart":28a7t30a]Why don't you believe our club has faith in the new signing? It's not like we were forced to sign him? I'm certain he's not going straight in the first team but they must see something[/quote:28a7t30a] I guess time will tell but I will be surprised if he is with us next season which is just my opinion.

With us only offering him a 1 year contract, and the likes of Pratt, Lingard amd smith 3/4 years I think that tells you where Powell and Mills sees Booth. For me that’s for him to fire on and show what he’s got as Pratt and co have shown that in bucket fulls. KR have seen something in him and slapped a 4 year deal on him. Time will tell if he will turn into a good /quality regular SL player. I’m pretty sure if Powell saw the same he’d of got a long term deal.

[quote="Scarlet Pimpernell":3bfe9htw] I guess what changed was that KR wanted him early and proposed the swap deal.[/quote:3bfe9htw] I believe HKR are honouring the season long loan at Hunslet for Booth

[quote="His Bobness":vaft2jkm]Neil Tchamambe is out of contract at the end of this year so although he is on loan to Trinity he will not be retuning to Hull KR. Don't know too much about Noah Booth but Rovers obviously rate him to give a 4 year deal. Tchamambe has been disappointing for Rovers. When you look at his physique you think he looks the part but he doesn't run with any conviction and you end up shouting at him to give it a bit more. He has never come close to making the first team and when Lee Kershaw was signed as a back up to wingers Tom Davies and Joe Burgess it was obvious the writing was on the wall for Tchamambe. I'll be surprised if Neil Tchamambe makes the grade at Trinity or any other Super League club.[/quote:vaft2jkm] Isn't this a summary of Hull KR's academy as a whole. Still only Lewis in the expected starting 17 for 2025 and he came through the joint City of Hull academy back in 2019. Rovers failed to get one of the original 10 Elite licences due to poor performance. Subsequently given a probationary one but they still show no signs of changing the policy of buying in ready made guys rather than bringing through their own. Tchamambe is one of many young lads treading water and wasting their time at HKR.
