Heard similar about some of the youngsters. One in particular who made his debut last season already thinking he's a superstar and not endearing himself to some members of the squad.

There's been an element of this with our young players for a number of years, possibly even decades!
We're actually reasonably decent in producing youngsters who end up in the first-team via our youth/academy/development set-ups, youngsters who initially look promising with everyone having high hopes for them.
The problem for us, and this is where we differ from Wigan/Saints/Leeds, is that all too often they never seem to quite kick-on to become genuine SL quality standard players and after a while they seem to lose their way and end up gradually drifting out of the picture. We have a number of young players going back many years who seem to fall into that category.

The key age for young promising sports people is around 18-22, which is the age when you have to make the full transition from junior sport to full-time professional. I think, in general, there tends to be a very large drop-off in juniors who make the grade across all sports. It's those organizations that get it right more often when dealing with promising 18-22 year-olds that tend to be the more successful within their sport, chiefly Wigan/Saints in RL.

I'd agree with other posters that success in developing any promising 18 year-old is likely to be key if we are to compete at the top end again on a regular consistent basis. The likes of Moy, Charles, Barron and, particularly, Lewis Martin look like they may possibly be the real deal, but the next two years are vital in their development if they are to become stand-out fully fledged SL players.
Fingers crossed, with the new regime and far more professional coaching set-up now in place, these young kids will come through, but it's far from a given as we have witnessed too many times in the past. Here's hoping for at least a couple of wins for us in this department in the coming two years or so.

Interesting read about the Salford situation once more. For all the criticism we've given/gotten in recent years, we could have ended up in this position of uncertainty that Salford find themselves in had we not taken the approach that we did.

Players I would be looking at, I’ve tried to be somewhat realistic with who might come:

Chris Satae - non quota, would add impact off the bench. At his age and his love for Hull should be good value for a year.

Matthieu Laguerre - Rogue but probably a step up on chamberlain and still a good age.

Arthur Mourgue - Mourgue & Abdul/Jack Charles would probably suit going forward. Some question marks over his best position. Don’t think he will leave cats

Paul Séguier - would be a steady squad player who can play back or front row. I’d argue he’s better than Holmes & Lane.

Mikołaj Oledzki - think he’s carried Leeds pack and a fresh start would do him wonders. Would be a good partner for Herman.

Liam Byrne - Herman & Oldedzki with Byrne & Ashworth off the bench would have fantastic balance.

Connor Wrench - young, pace and probably better than all our centre options.

Looking at the domestic players Salford have and the areas we are looking to bolster i'd take Watkins and Bullock.
