| Quote Raggytash="Raggytash"Statistically speaking though, your comparison doesn't add up. Purely talking about participation numbers in the amateur leagues, we're up there with anyone. 3 teams in the elite amateur division, would be 4 had East Hull not folded. Our very own amateur league. If we can beat the rest of the Country at an amateur level, why can't we do it at a Pro level?'"
I see your point, but at open age there's always the argument that Hull's remoteness boosts the amateur teams. Don't quite make it at Leeds, Wakefield or Cas - You might give it a go part-time at relatively nearby Dewsbury, Hunslet or Batley. Bit more of a PITA getting there or York or Doncaster from Hull (I know some do it) after work, so Dockers or West Hull is more attractive.
We might be up there with anyone in terms of participation but your comparison is kind of with everyone. There'll be a lot more 14 year olds playing RL in Leeds, Huddersfield, Bradford, Wakefield, Castleford, Keighly and Cumbria [ucombined[/u than in Hull and district alone, I'm certain.
Maybe that we have two pro teams is the unusual thing and means we have to be net importers of talent? |

| Quote *1865*="*1865*"One word that you've more or less mentioned - Professionalism. How many lads have gone from 16-18 year olds with the world at their feet to complete no marks by the time they're 21. Gear gets hold of a few, a few can't control their temper and end up inside and some end up on the booze. I've seen players with a lot more talent than those playing now not make it.
Not going to mention names but plenty on here will be involved in the amateur game and see it over and over again.'"
You are spot on with this. |

Not overly keen on this signing for a few reason
His age
Injury record
Will give us 8 overseas players (not including Miller, who wont be here)
Already have Sa, Michaels, Yeaman, Logan and maybe Arundel in that position.
But will get my backing if he signs and hope he proves a decent signing.

Tahu says he is weighing up offers from the ESL, French Rugby Union, the local Newcastle comp and he is also considering retirement.
Interview here, unfortunately they cut out the bit where he talked about his future.

Unless it's a smokescreen that looks like he's really committed. Not.

I reckon he's worth a punt with a season contract and possibly an extension if it goes well.
