Gray Horne = myton & FC.
Dick Horne = isberg & FC.

And cudjoe, Lawrence, mcgillvary, Connor, leeming and Johnson!

With regards to players that have 'jumped ship' to Hull Kr.
Carlile, walker, Hodgson and Eden. All regulars for us weren't they!!!

And referring to Lunt and Myler as your British players is embarrassing.

Might have come through Giants academy but Connor and Leeming are from Halifax and Johnson from Oldham.

Our current squad. Cockayne dixon,walker,carlile,goulding,hopefully myler and lunt all british, welham,salter horne,cox,green,ollett,esslemont,guzdek,hallett,robinson all currently in our squad,all played s/l, marsh and holker in the squad and all came through our system,richard horne,john wilkin also josh hodgson,scott taylor,and dont forget we were the last club to join s/l in 2007 and IMO we have done ok.
Now about your lack of support bearing in mind ken davey virtually gives you a season pass and a lot of your players came through your system,which you say is what is wanted,why the lack of support for a reasonably successful side ?

first of all, we don't have season passes, we have season tickets like the rest of the country, and £235 is hardly "giving them away" or are you still in 2009 when they were £99?

out of the players you have mentioned- the first 5 might be british, but they were developed by other clubs, rovers signed them when they were established first team players..the others you mentioned ( horne and cox apart) have hardly been regulars, although green did play quite a lot this year, and how many of those will get a chance next year with all the new signings?
point was, that despite being in super league for 8 years now, you haven't produced very many players in that time,compared to most other SL clubs.

Re: Oliver Roberts : Tue Oct 21, 2014 9:42 pm  

it's irrelevant where a player comes from IMO
out of our current squad, i would say the ones we have developed ( ones who have gone on to play in super league)
lawrence
cudjoe
crabtree
mcgilvary
lunt
patrick
fairbank
connor
leeming
johnson
miller
aspinall

some would say wardle too as he has developed into a class act, although he could have made it at bradford

i would say that 12 of our squad from 2014 have been developed by us.

Bang on with this post, they haven't produced no outstanding players.

Re: Oliver Roberts : Wed Oct 22, 2014 2:42 am  

It doesn't matter what town players are from. For me a homegrown player is somebody who signed at the club at 16 or under irrelevant of what town they come from.

The reality is that their amateur clubs bring them on and then at 16 they go up several levels when signed on scholarship. I wouldn't class Wardle, lunt or Patrick as ours because they have come through a different youth system. A bit like the Hornes and Hodgson at Hull KR.

My last response was to a couple of posters not just the techy fella who classes lunt as a HKR player!

The above is a post from a defeated man. Pulling people's grammer up is a sure sign of somebody with no come back. Go and bore you're own posters.

You've signed a few 2nd rate players and you think you're world beaters!

Come back when you've won something! Or even made the play-offs.
