Quote ="Hatfield Town Wire"My thoughts, such as disappointing end to the season. For me Price has to go. He can’t survive just because of the challenge cup final win against stains. We have got to get a new coach who can mould new players in from the academy. One of the most exciting games this season was the youngster playing against Salford. As a club we have never really trusted or given the youngsters a go. We have one of the best training facilities in the league, one of the best modern grounds in the league. If any young player from the whole catchment area of the north west or Yorkshire was shown around that would be impressed until they met Price. That would not inspire you to sign. Instead we spend vast sums of money on players coming to the end of there playing days. Our recruitment team need axing whoever signed the likes of J CLarke and Sita. We need more home grown talent who want to fight for the primrose and blue not to do stupid tackles have be banned more often than available to play. Up and coming players are put if signing for wire as they have seen in the past few years they don’t get much game time. The likes of saints wigan castleford Leeds give the academy players a chance. For me I would approach McDermott'"
We can always improve but it's simply not true that we have never 'given the youngsters a go'. Gareth O'Brien ( I am a big fan) had an extended run at 6 and didn't cut it. Dec Patton was given the 6 shirt for more than one entire season and disappointed. On the plus side Toby King - despite many on this board calling him useless - has also had a good run and established himself now as one of the best young centres in SL.
