Many Hull fans, talking about youth been paramount, I fully agree and without youth, you can't be a top team consistently the salary cap doesn't allow it. Mikey Lewis only costing £50k on our cap is testament.



Since been awarded an elite academy, Rovers have invested in youth massively.

They've brought in quality coaches and increased every part of the academy setup. The building of facilities at Craven Park for the academy is the next goal. The changes came to soon to make a huge difference in the crop of academy players who where moving through the scholarship setup but you only have to look at the current Scholarship players. Lots of very highly rated players who are unbeaten having played Wigan, Bradford, Saints and Warrington. Should Rovers have had the same level of home grown players as Hull without the same investment in youth or the ability to offer the same pathways as Hull, absolutely not. What we've done is even the bar in what we can offer players when they are deciding on Hull or Rovers, or even Cas & Leeds. We've also brought in players now from Wales and London. Rovers academy will start delivering, not this year maybe shoots appear next year but the year after we'll start to see the fruits of alot of investment, time and effort.



With the first team I firmly believe we are building something really good in East Hull, probably a year early to really challenge for a trophy but the club are still actively improving all areas of the first team squad and facilities.

How did the new owners pass the fit and proper test when the funds evidentially are yet to be cleared?  Players will be feeling a little silly now after their antics on social media.

So Salford players have been told they won't receive their pay today and are unlikely to get it until next week. I know most of these lads won't be living pay check to pay check but that's really poor and can have big knock on effects of any direct debits that were also due today/Monday. Salford are now in breach of their contracts. Possibly a good time to start making them offers again. Must surely be a few players who are really ed off with the whole situation and want out. This could easily be a recurring theme each pay day. I wonder if breaking contract like this gives players the option to just walk out, I ain't clued up on contractual issues!

Maybe we should try our hand again and make an approach , Not for the Ferrari though .
