i wouldn't brag about the first team............................

I would about Tom Briscoe though TBF

haha, fair shout.

don't then

I was pointing out that we have a few youngsters who can make it. We don't spend all our efforts tempting away the average players from a far superior rivals academy

Typo corrected.

Simple answer is the lads have a choice now, FC have always been able to entice the best players from the amateur game because they could offer better terms and prospects, now the tables are turning Rovers can offer the same if not better so players are choosing to join our set up.

Or merge ?, Or do you make your academy lads buy all their own training gear, and pay for their own medicals like FC do, but now the lads have a choice unlike before ,they are choosing to come to Hull KR

Playtime over children.
