Basically 20 years since we gave a home grown half a proper run.
Are we so incapable of developing these players and give them a chance to progress?
I really don't see carlos as a 6 despite him playing there at a junior level, and neither is Connor, we're forcing a scenario on the back of continually recruiting/squeezing too many of same players into a squad, this is why we have no home grown wingers or centres either.
As above, keeping Shaul has restricted things but he's not the bigger problem, poor/wrong recruitment in the first instance over many years and a failure to develop from within is why we continually seem to be on the back foot regards cap space.
There were just four Hull developed players in the team against Warrington
I like McNamara, looks a real prospect but think he is a 7 rather than a 6. Problem I think we have is we need a top quality player at stand off, would he happy developing a younger player in that position if we are happy with a mid-table finish but the aim has to be top 4.
