Can't be too bad as we have sent out 5/6 of our young players on loan including one to Rovers, so Sheens obviously doesn't agree with Hessle Rover assessment of our bang average young players.

Sorry my opinion hit a nerve there. But that's all it is. We've all heard of the tripe coming from FC fans regarding their youngsters before.....remember the Tyson Wilson brothers?? Next biggest thing was them lads!.... Where are they now??
There's 5 in our young ranks I wouldn't swap for any of yours right now. That being Harris, Lawler, Cator, Wardill and Oakes. Top lads, all of them.

As for Logan, he won't get a game......back up at best. But in Abdul's case, the former Rovers academy player is having a great season. But he's going back after this season to sit in the stands, so that's unfortunate.

Hull FC sign yet more overseas players, something else which has increased under Nigel "pay rise" Wood, along with the scrapping of the old U21 academy.

Sill bitter after Saturday? We'll have one more overseas player than the mighty Leeds, same as this season.

you can have a go at Wood for a lot of things but signing overseas players is not one of them. It was more rife or at least as prevalent long before he came along. Look we would all like to have a 17 full of young local talent but its just not going to happen - the best teams have a mix of youth, experience and overseas players, that's just how it is in superleague. As long as the overseas players add to the team that's fine. Out of Hull's current crop i cannot find anyone who isn't contributing to the success in a big way both on and off the field, and that is good enough for me.

Your best player was a reserve grader (Assuming you are a Widnes fan )

Don't quite get that opinion really, time and time again we have seen reserve graders come over to SL establish themselves a great career and are more than above standard of SL, majority come with a good attitude and make a success of themselves.

On the counter we have seen a lot of`established` NRL players and even so called superstars - The likes of Todd Carney, Kevin Locke come over and not do much at all but be a menace to our society.
