Tony larvin trumps allcomers,what a tool,but at least hudgell had his doubts and in the end handled it pretty well.  | | |

Mike Smith personally accompanied him to games around the HDM double page spreads time, right? As well as there being the public shows of palliness with Smith and various Rovers club employees around the dartboard #robinsrevolution. Marvellous.

While the RFL's independent assessments are one of the issues that can be filed under 'lack of trust' in the system (especially if they're bad for your own club ![]()
I never said they all worked out, did I? Nor for that matter denied that Rovers have made some great signings like Dobson, Paea and Blake Green. My point was a relatively simple one. For all the manifold  emoticons by your honourable "friend", we hold all the bragging rights at present. All of them, as detailed in my post about 2013 results, points, players and academy. Expanding on the latter, it cannot be argued there is any evidence that Hudgell has prioritised, at any point in the last 10 years, the development of a robust academy to yield a consistent pipeline of players. Money's been spent on other things, for sure, but the harsh reality is that nearly a decade in, apart from Welham, who's what, 27?, there's only Cox who might get in the first choice 13. In the meantime, the choice continues to be the likes of Langley, Gleeson, Maki over investing enough to make a real step change in academy delivery. No doubt we'll get the jam tomorrow commentary, but 2 years ago, Bell and Heil were the next big things and here we are. Groundhog Day. It's nice for us to be in a position of relative strength in this area, particularly as Hudgell promised on promotion that "Soon all the good Hull lads will want to play for Rovers". If he'd elaborated with"all the good Hull lads called Krissy" he might have been right.

Everybody's favourite hedge-fund manager. 
It was such a inept performance that were times I thought he must, counter-intuitively, be for real. Because if you're serving up testes for tea, you'd try to present them nicely at least, surely?
Ahh, but don't the years flick round quickly? | | | |

I know what you mean. It's less than a year though, since him and Mike Smith car-shared to Gateshead. Would have loved to have been on that road trip.

Glad you're so upbeat. 
You live and learn.
Change can be hard to take, but often the biggest step is being brave enough to make the switch in the first place. You might have a plan to make a club a powerhouse in rugby league, but sometimes you have to rip up the script and start again, if you're to elevate something beyond (or above) mediocrity. Sometimes you've said things that have built expectations to a level that is near impossible to meet.
Rovers have restructured their academy set-up. We hope it brings improvements.
While the Kristian Bell hype snowballed slightly surreally, I don't recall Heil ever having been more than a 'maybe', at best.

This only been in SL for 7 years from Rovers fans is getting old, how many more years are they going to pedal this out. They will never improve if they keep signing players Like the PNG players in positions they have young players.
One area that gas been vastly neglected by NH, no coincidence that Rovers and Salford are the only 2 teams in SL not to have one player in any of the England academy squads, even Cumbria academy and north east academy who neither are in SL have any players in it.

You're right Des. It does seem strange. I thought Gateshead would have set their sights much higher.

Excellent imagery, my friend, but imagine the smell. Heater stuck on full so nylon anorak perspiration, cigs, turkey curry and Frazzle farts catalysed by carbonated beverage with a top note of stale Insignia (from Xmas box set, matching deodorant and aftershave "for one all-over smell"icon_wink.gif  | | | |
