Sometimes it's just how it is with young players. Josh Hodgson barely got a look in for us, Rovers let Cator go etc depends who else is in the squad at the time and the style of player. Radford preferred physical players and didn't fit the style.

I would, of course, expect you as a Rovers supporter. to say that.

dosent matter where he came from just a rugby opinion on a forum pal

I wouldn't fret

Joe Cator though!

what odds on coming back in a few years once houghton retires, johnstone already a good replacement, could compliment each other

I’ve watched Jez since he played under tens at West Hull, I think moving was probably the best thing for him, and he seems to have improved at rovers, as number 6 alluded to, perhaps a return on the cards, who knows.

I dont think we released Litten, I'm sure it was his decision to leave.

Yes he turned down an offer from us, it will be interesting to watch his development access the river,

The problem for Litten was similar to Hodgson in that he needed to play regular rugby at a high level but Houghton was an 80min player.



Sometimes you just have to move to advance and develop, hopefully he will become a very good SL player. He never let us down when called upon but was always going to be behind Houghton.



Still think he needs a coupe of years to develop fully and playing regularly for Rovers will help.

Focusing on developing a core of home grown players to help win sustained success in SL (because that is what Saints do), is like focusing on what designer fragrance a Hollywood idol wears in the belief it will make you as attractive as them.



(I’m feeling provocative today).
