Rovers had 2 years of derby glory whilst we were in our transitional period, it is now normal service resumed even after this one result yesterday. All that talk from the eastern block a couple of years ago about a shift in power in this city, all the young kids will head east etc, what a load crap,we will always be number one in Hull.
One derby win and the power has shifted back west , come the end of the season and you have beaten us twice and finished above Rovers then fair enough. A nice touch of arrogance about always being number one in the city to finish off, how can you always be number one when you obviously haven't been for the past couple of years?.

Sounds like Service Area only works for ages 12-14 then! How old are kids when they identified for Rovers/FC's Academies?

Totally disagree with that....Service area is important because a good few in both scholarships will be dropped next year..16s is the age they really scout, they will also scout at the service area games, they know kids develop with a 4 year variance so little Johnny who was not noticed this season may well be one of the best next season, and kids they have had in scholarship for the last couple of years may not have developed their game any further on.

16's is too late to scout players. Hull and Mel Harman in particular need alot of credit for out of town and signing up some of the best players from Yorkshire.
I really dont see the point in Service Area once Foundation sides start playing if anything its typical BARLA not wanting to feel undermined digging in and demanding that it continues.

But still contested 1 of the only 2 finals you can get to....so would say we was more succesful that yr.

Thats why you got the Bullet Agar...Adam Pearson wants winners...not useless gits like you.

That is the age they do make big changes believe me.
I know of 6 players who have been picked up this season. Both FC & KR are monitoring several players in the 15s (16s nxt season)next season..Players from our club (16s), were signed professional last year for KR, FC & Harlequins after never been through scholarship. It is never too late to scout players professional clubs do the most serious scouting between the ages of 16-18.
