Surely there must be a good enough youngster playing in the lower divisons who could possibly be our next number 7 .
Look at Brough no one had heard of him before moving to Hull Fc

It is just another thought but we must start producing our own players by that I mean WE as in the UK

black - fax
groom - eagles

As English as you can get

It is just another thought but we must start producing our own players by that I mean WE as in the UK

Like they do in the NRL, maybe in twenty years from now we could be world champs........

Might come to that, looking in the lower leagues. No Superstar worth his salt would sign for you lot at present, money doesnt always talk you know.
Got to be some kind of cohesive plan, of which your club is sadly devoid of.

We'll see.

Id try and sign the scrum half from Leeds reserves who played against us pre season for rest of the season

Yep.

we need a bit of pillow talk for that

Bless you child.

There are plenty but the whole system prevents them from ever getting a shot at SL.

The quicker all Aussies are fecked off back and each club can have just one overseas player, no fed trained crap, just one player who has not got a British passport the better.

Danny Houghton, Dominic Maloney, Tommy Lee, Washy, Tom Briscoe, Mike Burnett, are they really a million miles away from Berrigan, Sing, Cussack, Manu etc??

Yeah, I know they are not world beaters but if each club was forced to forge links with lower league sides and keep bringing through their own talent it would be a level field and each club would have to work harder to coach kids, not just bring in super stars!!

Hull KR, Welham, Colburn, Wheeldon, Murrell, Cockayne, Briscoe, Spaven, I'Anson, Fox, Netherton all English and would hardly disgrace themselves if you took the Overseas players out of most sides in SL.

Start with that and all of a sudden coaches will look 'South' for talent

Fair point that IMO. I had a "send the boogers back" conversation with my mate the other week. Not quite down to one overseas, but 3 would be good IMO and develop our British game

What a load of bollox, if Crocker had been accepted we wouldn't even have this thread. As for developing the British game, that starts with British coaches, name me one worth his contract. Brits are too negative.

The British games is never gonna succeed. So may aswell sign more Aussies, help them bring there game on more.
