| Many Hull fans, talking about youth been paramount, I fully agree and without youth, you can't be a top team consistently the salary cap doesn't allow it. Mikey Lewis only costing £50k on our cap is testament.
Since been awarded an elite academy, Rovers have invested in youth massively.
They've brought in quality coaches and increased every part of the academy setup. The building of facilities at Craven Park for the academy is the next goal. The changes came to soon to make a huge difference in the crop of academy players who where moving through the scholarship setup but you only have to look at the current Scholarship players. Lots of very highly rated players who are unbeaten having played Wigan, Bradford, Saints and Warrington. Should Rovers have had the same level of home grown players as Hull without the same investment in youth or the ability to offer the same pathways as Hull, absolutely not. What we've done is even the bar in what we can offer players when they are deciding on Hull or Rovers, or even Cas & Leeds. We've also brought in players now from Wales and London. Rovers academy will start delivering, not this year maybe shoots appear next year but the year after we'll start to see the fruits of alot of investment, time and effort.
With the first team I firmly believe we are building something really good in East Hull, probably a year early to really challenge for a trophy but the club are still actively improving all areas of the first team squad and facilities.

Got to ask how we never could squeeze no more than two weeks at a time out of him when he was here .

Played plenty of times and even when we had a good side but never really stood out, he has been at Rovers 5 years and this is his real stand out year, maybe he has matured or something has clicked. Good look to him, very likable player and 100% effort. Shows some players just need a change or a but of confidence.

| Quote: Mild Rover "There’ll always have to be a threshold though. If everything goes up as no try until proven otherwise, needing clear evidence as an absolute threshold, then there’ll be outrage when tries that are nearly-certainly tries are chalked off. So… balance of probabilities? Which is a guess.
There’s as strong a case as sending everything up as a try unless proven otherwise - it’s just a question who would get the benefit of the doubt.
My guess about Burgess’s try is probably similar to yours, but it is a guess.'"
What I mean by that is that if the on field ref can not state with 100% conviction and award or deny a try himself, they send it to VR without any pre judgment. Then it is purely down to the VR to rule if it’s awarded or denied based on the evidence they have available.

Simply down to poor coaching mixed in with a lackadaisical approach and boys club attitude rather than a drive to better each season.
I’ll no doubt be hammered but Radford was a poor choice and Head coach for top level SL. Yes we won 2 back to back finals at Wembley but I firmly believe that was more down to the leaders and quality we had in the squad at the time. The failure to build from that is there for all to see along with the start of the decline once we lost and didn’t replace those leaders.
