The OP has merely presented his own reasonable opinion for the purpose of stimulating debate. You don't agree? Fine, that is what a discussion board is all about. Was there really a need for the personal abuse?

Are you his mum? Do you regard typing the word IDIOT in BLOCK CAPITALS as personal abuse....lol? Read the post, it is full of conjecture and supposition. In the Agar and Hetherington tenure Hull FC were the only club in 2011 not to blood an academy player. This year we have Lineham, Bowden, Crooks, Green et al and the OP (is that forum speak for geek) attempts to create debate by making an ill informed comment about the clubs policy in bringing youngsters through because we signing proven quality players. (I am now going add an emoticon because it is trendy and hard)

I was wondering where Cab Man had gone.......................................

To say besides ellis and holdsworth is just stupid as they are the 2 biggest signings so far for 2013 by any team imo , im very happy with the capture of paul johnson , i'll be happy with mcdonnell once its anounced , crooks and arundle tbf are prospects in which only time will tell , with watts, houghton, westerman, lineham , bowden, pitts and ben crookes we have younge players that will get beter and beter every season they play . I can see we still need need a play maker with a kicking game but adam pearson has not let any of us down imo
