Fantastic idea didn't the manager at Grimsby take his players to the Fish Dock early in the mornings for the same reasons? Might have been Lawrie McMenemy.

I 'm sure this was done in the Smith or Simmonds era .

I think judging by our performances in the last 12 months we need more time being properly coached at RL.

Ridiculous decision and just a PR stunt. If I was a player I'd be insulted that the best they think I could do would be working in a fish factory.

U19s spare time would be best served studying and getting qualifications under their belts. Working in a fish factory may give a small sense of perspective but I'd guess most in the factory now will be East europeans following Red Star Belgrade or the similar and never heard of Hull FC.

Pure gimmick if you ask me. Similar to using Gordon Street gym a few years back.

It must have worked they are now in the conference.

Not sure it's about them being labelled as 'only good enough for a fish house'. Did you manage to listen to Radford's explanation at tonight's forum?

Hardly a PR stunt if it's just a story inside the Mail. It's not even mentioned on the club's website. Aside from which the fish factory is one of a number of venues according to the HDM article.

You do realise they do this as well, don't you? A little perspective can do a lot for a 17/18 yr old that's had smoke blown up his ass since he was 11/12 because he was good at rugby.

The type of 'back in my day fans' who it's meant to please will get their news from the HDM not the website.

Very positive move as it will show a young group of lads, many who won't make a FT rugby player a range if careers and opportunities.

As said above Fish factory was only one of the businesses mentioned, some jobs might also motivate them more to make it as a rugby player.
