I want the owner to preserve our tradition, to safeguard our future and to keep our proud history in place.

This is about the last 150 years, not the next 5. I actually see benefits in sharing the facilities we have at BB with Rovers. But sharing player pools and 13 starting spots I do not.

Take a look at Leeds Rhinos and how they approach youth in the schools. The problem isn't finding talent in Hull, it's the route into the first team. Until we sort that out we're p*ssing in the wind. On that subject, just look at Logan's performance on Sunday, does that strike you as 'not good enough'?

Why not?

This is a separate entity, nothing to do with where either club plays. It is being funded by both clubs and if Rovers were relegated the last thing they would do is scrap their academy and give up any hope of playing SL again.

Even if Rovers did go down they would be odds on favourites to bounce back with that squad. Youth development is a long term project.

Would they have the majority of that squad though?

Yeah that's a fair point but they have got most of them contracted for next year, the decent ones anyway, so probably ok.

Since when did contracts mean anything.I'd be suprised if there arent get out clauses written into most of them.

Yes maybe so. I would also presume that would free up an awful lot of cash to sign new players, just like Leigh have.

Anyway, who gives a f*** about Rovers?
