was on trial until christmas .if he was ok he would be given a contract so was he given one

Is he the invisible man?

Jack Latus was injured early December and could not train for a while so Rob Powell has extended his trial period before making a decision .

Jack Latus?

Same kid as some on your boards wrote about....?







......surplus to requirements in East Hull.....wrong passport

maybe

the 2nd quote you used was about his brother sam who we kept on, jack latus never played a first team game for us, and no not wrong passport just not quite good enough to get in the team, he's not quite quick enough to be a superleague winger, he's a better full back but was behind shaun briscoe and ben cockayne, hope he gets a go with yourselves.

.



Point is, if these kids who get to play with your academy/reserves aren't given a chance then when you finally adhere to the overseas rules you will end up with nobody to play for you........it's all well and good trying to BUY success, but you need to be planning for the future. Jack was good enough to be a constant in your academy/reserves last year....why not again this year?

Would love it if he developed into a quality half back for us because we need one asap. Trouble is if he did develop HKR or someone else Up North could easily tempt him back to his roots.

great post

Seems like those in glass houses... HKR appear to have had significant success, 'Quins are a tad short of it on and off the field.

Some fans, especially those who have a reason for being envious of HKR's rise don't understand that succesfull acadamies etc take a fair few years to ensure a conveyor belt of prospective S.L. youngsters.



Saying that HKR's under 18 academy managed to secure a place in the top group play off's in 2010 despite several younger players, so the seeds for success certainly appear to be there.

Oh the Irony......do you think that any fan of fulhamcrusaderbroncoquins isn't aware of the time needed to develop youngsters? It's just that for the first 10 years of SL we were branded a team full of aussies who had no place inthe top flight because RL wasn't catching on in the south..........HKA on the other hand are a team based in a heartland region.....you should have plenty of feeder clubs etc to attract players from.......there is no reason for you to have 10 overseas players on your books other than short term glory hunting.



As for envy? I would suggest that apart from you having 5,000 more fans than us, I would suggest that we are stronger pretty much everywhere else off the pitch and we have won exactly the same number of trophies as you on the pitch....0



I will be the first to congraulate you and your club if you win some silverware in 2011.....but I do worry for your next few years.......you have very few (if any) England representatives at under age level........and your Aussies will get old/bored/cold and go home....what then?

HKR emerged from almost two decades in the underworld of the lower leagues, with small crowds, admin and attempts to drive them out of existence into the gleaming world of Superleague just 4 seasons ago. You expect them to have hung on to a top rate development system throughout all of that?



Glory hunting? Short term strategy for building a strong and sustaining club that doesn't have its fans worrying all season (and closed season) whether they will exist by the start of the next. I've read plenty of your over-exercised posts about the inability of 'Quins to attract fans (and understand where your frustration comes from) but to slag off another club's apparently successful strategy in building a robust position in the comp seems a little churlish to me.



Meanwhile, looks as though the HKR academy is doing ok... check out the 29th May 2010

Finally, when the London Broncos band of merry mercenaries were getting into the play-offs on a regular basis there was a lot more spirit and cohesion in the club than there is now that it has to sit under the Union shadow.
