You know, this fixation of yours is unhealthy.

Catalans Out: Chris Walker has signed for Parramatta.

Gees he walked out of France after 1 year, imagine if he'd come to England!!

But what you've put there about Bradford is not true. The Wigan and Saints comparisons are false as I believe someone has pointed out on the "hows your squad look" thread just how many overseas players Wigan actually have. The youngsters that are playing for both of those sides are in the main NOT in their first season in SL.

Roberts, Carmont, Richards, Hoffman, Tommy, Lima + Finch - 7?

Compare that to our academy produced youngsters who play in the side on a fairly regular basis -

Hansen, McIllorum, Prescott, O'Carroll, Farrell, O'Loughlin, Joel Tomkins, Sam Tomkins, Tuson, Goulding, Marsh, Charnley, and that number is only going to go up.

Good move by Hull Kingston Australains....bin their English born academy skipper.....expect to hear about the recruitment of another world beating Australian in his place soon........development of local talent my $rse
The lad got 2 games in the first team in 2010.......he skippered the academy.....what happened in the last couple of months? Did he refuse to sup VB with his team mates at the christmas party..?

Spaven position in the squad will be filled probably by 18 year old english man Kristian Bell,although he signed 12 months ago from St Helens so that won't please you either.

I'd take Phelps.

Same could be said of certain HKA fans regarding attendane figures at Quins games....together with their unproven assumptions of back handed payments by the RFL, Unproven assumptions I'll add together with preferential treatment over the years...again, unproven.
What is a fact is that you will have 10 overseas players in your squad next year and your stadium is still only just better than Hell View and not as good as the Jungle......with your chairman doing the same as Quins by proppping you up financially.......none of which is on the RFL 's wish list.....

....no issue with the young lad from St Helens, although the idea is to develop your own. Scott Murrell is a good example of a player who got a second chance at HKA and took it. He was never going to make it at Leeds but has done a job for you guys (as he did on loan in London a few years back).......but it still beggars the question that if Spaven was good enough in 2010....what's happened for him to be deemed not good enough a few months later?

Presumably we won't be given any credit for his development.
