I will be surprised if they don't play, they are both exceptional talents. My point is FC has a wonderful academy set-up that the owner has obviously invested a lot of money in. Everyone comments on how much it has improved over the past couple of years, and how much better it is than the Rovers set-up. However not one of the lads who trains with either the Youth or Academy at Bishop Burton has been selected for the England squads.

Do they? Everyone? Post a few, say 10, links to back this up please.

That's because they're good enough to be training with the 1st team. Do you understand what the purpose of a youth set up is?

First time in 5 years that Rovers have a player in the youth set up and the fans come out of the woodwork.

Let's see how many make it to the first team.

How come Captain Turgut and Abdull aren't in? Have they just exceeded the age limit?

Both born in early 1996, Lancaster and HTW late 1996.

Yes, Abdull is 19 already and Turgut turns 19 in a month or so.

Train with the 1st team so ineligible. New rule

You really don't know what you are on about do you!

Lancaster and HTW train with the 1st team.

Here we go then the facts, not abuse, or misguided statements.

The following clubs and the number of players who have been called up to the 2 England squads named today. This is players who train with their respective acadamy's or youth teams not those who train full time with their 1st team squads.

Wigan Warriors = 12
Leeds Rhinos = 8
St Helens = 5
Widnes Vikings = 5
HKR = 4
Huddersfield Giants = 3
Warrington Wolves = 3
Wakefield Wildcats - 2
Castleford Tigers = 1
Salford = 0
Hull FC = 0

Well, yeah.
