It's like he has left a small fry football club and because he now feels like a big shot in a smaller budget game he feels that he can use his financial position to bully other clubs, like a small scale Abramovich.
That kind of attitude isn't good for sport.

He actually said that we will continue to invest until we win something. You've added the last bit yourself to twist the meaning. He's ploughing money into facilities, coaching, and youth development alongside spending on players - basically reversing years of under-investment by the previous owners.

Only in RL could someone willing to plough money into a club be demonised.

Chase who many would say is your best player didn't come from your academy and somehow just walked into the number six shirt. Surely you must have signed him from another club ahead of one of your own youngsters ?

The most ironic post of the year!!! A Hull Fc fan slagging off Castlefords player development! Gotta laugh!! They had the pick of all the young hull lads for 10 years, before rovers got into super league. But it's Kaths and Agars fault! Smell what your shovelling.

Chase was signed as a relative unknown from St George-Illawara.
I think you are barking up the wrong tree if you are trying to have a dig at Castleford's youth development, particularly as you have raided us for Westerman and Arundle. And let's not forget where your current captain was developed. And indeed the fact you managed to sign your best payer of the last few years (Manu) after we brought him over from Australia as a bit of a wildcard. In fact, there must be almost as many Castleford trained players in your squad as Hull ones?
Add to this other Castleford trained players in SL and the number still playing at the club (far more than Hull) and your comment just makes you look daft.

No it really doesn't, I mean if you bothered to read my first post you will see I explain the current state of Hulls youth system. The point I am getting at (which again you appear to miss) is that you have called Hull for signing other teams players yet your club has done the same. As for Westerman he went to Cas from Hull.

So the only person barking up the wrong tree here is you as I have never claimed our youth set up is better. I just merely pointed out that yours is not perfect, I mean you wouldn't be were you are or were you have being the last ten years if it was so brilliant. Granted you have lost a few or your better academy players but that brings me back to a point earlier, they must be something your club is doing to put these players off staying.

Guess youth development doesn't matter any more. I mean why invest in your own players when you can steal them from other clubs who actually follow the ideals of licensing, hey?

I'm sorry - I didn't realise that AP had the ability to force other clubs to sell contracted players. How very dare he offer them a large sum of cash and then force them to accept it? It must be hell for the poor dears.

Maybe you should be asking why your club is willing to flog off the family silver rather than pointing a finger and a trembly lip at the big bad man from the East. Could it possibly be because they've been offered a fair price?

You Rovers fans shouldn't be allowed on PC's if you can't read. As I say I wasn't making out they were bad just pointing out that Castleford even sign other teams players ahead of there own younger players. I chose to point this out after a Castleford fan had a dig at Hull for not using one of our own players. This wasn't a dig just pointing out a fact.

Where have I criticised Hull for signing players from other teams? Every team has to, nobody can produce all of their own players. Not once have I written than what Hull are doing is wrong. However, it is wrong to have a dig at Cas' youth development which has produced its fair share of SL players, including some of your best players.

You use way too many question marks and exclamation marks for me to even bother to have the energy to talk to you.

That and I personally feel you just want an argument rather then a debate. When I pass the park one day , I may continue this conversation.

Not you personally, my post was in response to a post made by a Cas fan prevoiusly. The point I was making was not that Castlefords youth system is poor , more the fact that Cas themselves favor signing other teams players rather then blooding there own at times too.

You really didn't produce our best players either.

Sorry Kosh but he is talking like he is billy big testicles.
He has been in the sport about 6 months? and so far he has all but told the RFL how to run the sport and pretty much stated that he is going to buy FC to the top of the sport.
