Because clubs can't just magic a bunch of SL standard junior players out of nowhere :?

If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.

Their academies. Most teams run them. They just have not had the confidence before now to give their players a go because they couldn't afford to risk it, whereas the top teams could.

But they still don't. That's the point.

A "club trained while there" is a player who has spent a proportion but not all the 3 full seasons with his current club prior to the age of 21.

He will undoubtedly fall into the club trained category in a year or two.
However so will a couple of Saints young players in the squad


:lol:

So because he is too young to have been at the club 3 years he is not classed? Thats the RFL for you :) Anyway (acording to his FB) he is 19 next month and as far as I am aware this is his 3rd full season at Leeds (it was his brother Kashley) who was at Warrington) He has never had another pro club as far as I know.

depending on where you look, altho most seem to point towards 12th march, rather then 3rd december. either way i think 91 is correct, making him 18 next month

yes it's disappointing from a Hull KR point of view but given we haven't had the cash to match HFC signing the cream of the Hull jnr crop for 10 years not surprising. Now we are back on even pegging judge us in 3 years. Don't be surprised to see Hull's reducing and HKR's increasing. (Hopefully they will both be increasing though!)

It's all about ' facilitys '

Nothing to do with getting the best kids to start with

Clubs with good facilitys can make any young kid an international :wink:

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

On the Hull KR issue, some have said they dont develop players because of the threat of relegation in the past , but if thats the case explain Castleford who despite being in a lower division still persisted in developing junior talent.

For me it looks that Hull KR went for the Sh*t or bust approach adopted by Widnes a few years ago, in order to get in SL. It looks like their gamble worked, unlike Widnes.
A lack of any coherant development, combined with a stadium that is clearly sub standard at present in size and facilities, must also mean that Hull KR despite having a large fan base, must be one of the clubs staring down the barrell of demotion in 3 years time.
