We have a lot of talented young kids in Hull and the area and their attitudes are spot on. Unfortunately because we are so desperate to succeed they are not given the same opportunities as some of the kid at the so called big clubs. The big clubs do a lot of poaching, especially Saints and Warrington.

The other big problem we have is that we have no step up to the first team. A lot of players are not ready in physique or mental attitude for super league. There will aways be the odd player in the shaun Edwards mould but most kids today are at school untill 18. In the good/bad old days we left at 15 & a lot went into manual labouring jobs & grew up fast. Also with the game being fully pro young lads have to seriously think about risking the chance of loosing a well paying career for the chance of perhaps making a go in the sport.

That does seem strange but with all the doctor run of their feet no wonder we need more doctors

The problem is that the Hull League is poop. Two top clubs in West Hull and East Hull have this year moved to the Yorkshire Juniors league instead, which in respect of those two clubs, might mean you will see more potential coming to your respective academy's.
