Quote: fc-eaststander "heard that HTW has been offered a lot less to sign than he was already on and could be moving on don't know where Reece dean was offered less also apparently they where on quite a lot more than the rest of the young lads and are been brought into line there on development money due to them not pushing for first team for a few years yet Dean has decided to leave, hes going t0 Toronto I believe hope we are making the right moves with these guys cause we could lose them and for me it would be a shame there promising but are a way off at the minute tough call'"
Agree.... Both Reece and Harry grew up as probably the best young half backs in the country for their age group. Jordan Lilley, who is in the same age year, was nowhere them in terms of ability. Now look where Jordan is! Its only a couple of years ago when all the talk was about building a team based around young local talent who took pride in the club. Look where we are now 2 young vastly talented half backs, who have been at the club for years, touted as leaving/wanting to leave. Why have our young players not developed to their potential? Why do we have to acquire a young utility back from another club? Have we changed emphasis on developing our own to a more open recruitment policy................ At the end of the day going off current performance you cant knock Adam, Motu Radders or Lasty but surely serious questions can be asked of our youth and academy development.
