Sorry just seen HF post.

I'm not sure if this post was aimed at Sheldon or myself.



Think you suggesting that half a team will be called back is really dramatic. I was suggesting that everyone who is eligible to play 19's stays at FC however the 2/3 that we think are worthy of a full-time deal once they become too old should get sent out to a NL side who we have a link up with.

To be fair Sheldon, i had misread your post.

I just think that a club should be nurturing it's own, clubs like Fev are trying to build pathways for youngsters to come through and we've done really well against some of the bigger teams, i just feel this undermines that hardwork and then we will undoubtedly end up with a closed shop.

Season long loans for fringe players i could swallow, really not a fan of the DR system

Btw, i don't want to sound like i'm having a go, just slightly disgruntled.

Haven't we already established links with York? Seem to recall reading something along those lines...

A City like Hull should be big enough to have its own championship club.



Hopefully we will have one soon

isnt having an under 20's side a stipulation of SL membership?

I knew it was in the pipeline but don't know if it's been officially announced yet. From what i know it's going to be similar to the Hunslet/Leeds scenario.



A Hull championship team would be a very good idea. Hull clubs can send youngsters out locally for experience and it makes it easier for players that haven't made it at SL to be given the opportunity to still play there rugby in Hull and compete at a decent level. I can name a lot of Hull based players that travel to York, Hunslet, Gateshead, Doncaster etc to play semi-pro rugby. Could get a decent team together!
