Then don't.

Or maybe post on the topic or on RL rather than rugby free comments on 'proper' posting structure.

Either way, fill your boots.

Good to see the conveyer belt in East Hull paying dividends

I make us joint top with a game in hand along with 3 others?

Defensive numbers look very impressive. Conceding an average of only 8 points per game!!! Better than any club in the league.

Am just wondering how many players people think go from U20s to first grade contract in the NRL? Or indeed, play an NRL game whilst still in U20s.

Haere mai GF.

What un wundy wullington cuz?

I believe that the numbers are increasing year on year.....and that over time more and more NRL players will come through the ranks. SL is behind the NRL, but the model that they have put in place should start to get the same results. For example...in this extract taken from the Dom Post site here in Wellington (LINK HERE) The Junior Warriors proved too strong for their South Sydney opponents as they out-scored the Bunnies 42-28 in the under-20 grand final. Names like Shaun Johnson, Elijah Taylor, Ben Henry, Glen Fisiiahi and Sam Lousi look set to be in the premier team in the coming years but championship success does come at a price. Already the Warriors have lost Nafe Seluini (Penrith) and Elijah Niko (Melbourne) to other teams and will lose more if the juniors defend their title in 2011. You are never going to build your first ream entirely from your reserves or academy, but surely this model is better than the one currently employed in East Hull?

Don't think your belief is right on this occasion GF. Of those kids mentioned not all got full time contracts and only one of them is named to play 1st grade this weekend. In fact, Elijah Taylor is playing in the reserves: http://www.nswrl.com.au/default.aspx?s= ... y&id=34095
