Not happy about it, but just pointing out that the best at that level around are signed for Rovers, so at the minute it would be the other way around.

At school level not club level though, massive difference.

They can't even sign before they're 16 can they?

Don't know the exact ruling but 90% of that Sirius team are signed for Rovers. The 14 year old that lives near me has 'signed' for them.

But the point still stands that the best 15/16 year olds knocking around are at Rovers.

That is not entirely true at that particular age group...the best 15 yr old by some distance is on Hulls books and is presently in Oz learning his trade, Harry Tyson ([ione [/iof the best in the country at that age).

They are on the books so to speak, they get a contract offer at 16s, that is when they start getting paid.

We have the best one, I agree. But they have numbers 2-16 after that, unfortunately.

I disagree, we have our fair share at that age group, also there will be some movement come contract time there always is. Also worth noting that out of each age group only 1-3 will actually make the grade and hopefully we have those 1-3

Officially get the offer on June 1st I believe. I expect 3 of the Hull U16s to be announced as signed on in the next week or so.

Did anybody read Neil Hudgells interview in the HDM today? I dont see how a draft system between Hull and Rovers could ever work in practice.

Didnt read it mate but would like to understand the full implications of an academy share.
