To play devil's advocate - until Salter, Heil, Johnson, Peterson, Green and Ollet play SL, it is pushing it to count them. And both Hodgsons, Hall and Horne are the products of other clubs' systems.
On the other hand, is it any wonder that we 'interpret' the spirit of the rule? I've seen people say that Watts isn't really one of ours because he's from Castleford. So we claim 'Hull-born' and are held to the 'club-trained' criterion.

We are now in a position to build from the bottom-up, as mentioned by the chairman at the fans' forum, and the inclusion of so many young players in the full-time squad is definately one sign of that.

Off on a tangent - I see Jordan Tansey and Karl Pryce haven't got clubs for next year.

Don`t know how you can be sarky about age,when you used to have Stan playing for you.

The only snag being,both can play a good game on their day.Would still not want either though.

Tansey, yes.

Pryce runs his weight in worse than David Mills. That lad should be our Greg Inglis, unfortunately, he's more like John Inman.

When you trained with Noah its bound to have an affect.

This only seems to bother the fans of other clubs, I couldn't care less. For me, we should sign as many as we can providing they improve the team.

The England team can always select players from other clubs that can be bothered to bring in English talent which indirectly will benefit from playing against our Harlem Globetrotter-esque team of International stars.

All that aside, I'm happy with our youth setup and it seems the lads are coming through.

i agree go on the castleford board and there up in arms about our players trying to say we only had 3 engliish players in our team last year although we had 9 when we played them what its got to do with them god knows

I saw that, I liked the comment where someone said something like "Name some English players that played last year", someone named Liam Watts only for them to say "You mean the Liam Watts that is from Castleford?"

Talk about moving the goal posts.

They will be more annoyed if our team of Exiles go on to be successful next season.

When was the last time a team with a large amount of overseas players won the grand final?

Yep because it's clear that there is a strong correlation between overseas players and suc.... oh nevermind.
