Football Teams look for talent in lower leagues,
I don't see why Rugby Teams shouldn't.

Ian Hardman who had a loan spell at Rovers, I think he's at Featherstone now (not sure) but I think with a bit of grooming he can make it in SL.

He has found his level now

I'm not sure I agree,
I think he did exeptionally well in his spell at Rovers.

but is not pulling up any trees at Fev really

We dont need a young 7, we need a big name Oz 7 to bring on our own local lads for the next few years.

That said I wish Peter Sharp had signed Jamie Soward back in 2007 when we were linked with him.

would be nice though.

He is a proper Ginger though, you wouldn't want him.

And keep your hands off any other Fev players too

Our new secret scout is out and about and touring the lower leagues as we speak. There are no photographs of him (he's secret don't you know) but a photofit has been producedhttp://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PLjNWOu-Zn0/SZMv4h_ysMI/AAAAAAAAAHg/4kzthDzj7gc/s400/blind-man.jpg" >

Exactly

Of course we need a young 7 ,But we also need an older experienced 7 as well . I think the big difference between here and the Australians is the way the young ones are bought on through the ranks .

Surely there must be a couple of good young kids playing in the lower leagues.Who with the right coaching would be able to make the step up, but these kids have to be paid so may be it is like an earlier poster said we or the SL clubs are not prepared to pay them a decent enough wage.

I do not believe for one minute that in the North of England we do not have the standard of young kids coming through

This is not a rant at the over seas players because as proven at Hull we need them here

Here is the problem with this post
