If the academy lads are good enough then they will get a game its simple really. I want to see the strongest team, yes it would be nice to have a team full of players that we have developed but you cant be sentimental in sport.

Difficult to select a team having not seen so many players play but id go with....

Cockayne
Sio
Goulding
Welham
Mantellato
Kelly
Campese
Bailey
Carlisle
Weyman
McCarthy
Larroyer
Donaldson

Allgood
Walker
Horne
Blair

Trust me stan my opinion of 1865 yesterday was spot on.

I find that ridiculous, 3 of your current u19's are the sons of friends of mine.



Not really, my point was about meeting the criteria through academy graduates, not bought in products of other academies.




Rubbish, I'm talking about real regular rugby, not getting a few games at the end of a season when you've sacked your coach and the new guys trying to make an impression. 5 is not regular, regular is 15 plus.

Hull have obviously never done that.

Wow, that's even worse! 1 for gods sake? James Green should be playing, as should Salter and Cox. A centre on the bench? Carlisle to do the full 80? I hope Chester agrees with you!

Can't tell me you've got no young 2nd rowers better than Donaldson or Horne, who'll give you far better value for money.

Of course we have, and where'd it get us?

Now I know you are full of it. As if you have friends.


Who died and made you arbitrator of regular?

I hope you are happy with your team, I certainly haven't felt the need to cross the divide and pass comment, I never would. Me? I'm happy with our recruitment now, regardless of origin, accents etc. Lets leave it at that eh?
