Looking on the VT, it seems Saints and Leeds are in the top 3 for having the most players from their own academy in their squads yet are by far the best 2 teams in Super League. I think those two are the clubs that should be getting praise. We bring through youngsters but our league form has been very inconsistant for years now, same with basically every other SL club bar Leeds and Saints
Difference between Hull and those two clubs is that we have had to bring in 4 or 5 at a time through an injury crisis unlike Saints and Leeds who bring in 1 at a time, and they are normally in top form which helps youngsters confidence. I think the way our youngsters have reacted and performed is a credit to the academy set up at the club
