But at least we can put them on the field if necessary. The futures bright in black and white. Your points scoring has hit and all time low. Your going to have more grubs in the team than an anthill.

Rovers have got young kids that they could throw in if it was necessary, the fact is though that for some reason your recruitment was absolutely shocking and you've had to palm the majority of them off already leaving you well short of options, FC also decided to try and save a bit of money by getting rid of some of your S&C team which hasn't helped either, but again force's you to play kids that probably aren't ready.
All in all your now having to give the kids a go (and yes there really having a good go too) because FC as a club tried to do the season on the cheap, cheap recruitment, cheap coaching/S&C.

We sign Mickey Mac, he's to old, KR sign him and it's a shrewd signing.

Rover's supporters come on here with a negative agenda to stir things up and try to unsettle. If you go on their "secret" forum they even have a derisionary topic on Hull FC! But they haven't got a chip on their shoulders!

Whilst Anista was fantastic the year before, you only have to look at the Lam SL highlights too see how involved he is with Leigh attack and probably the main reason Leigh have underperformed this year. MM is no different to Houghton, just plays for a better team and is less disciplined, if he had signed for us you would people would be up in arms, but because he signs for someone else it's a good signing.

Can you honestly say that you'd have given all of those academy lads an opportunity if your signings this season hadn't been so garbage?
It's great that there getting games, but it's more out of necessity isn't it?

Does it matter? We clearly have a policy of developing youth. That requires experience around them, loaning to other clubs, slotting in where we have injuries etc. Hope we don’t burn any of them out with their enthusiasm eg Moy. And of course some won’t make it. We are slowly finding out who will and who won’t. Moy, Litten, Gardiner, Martin, Balmforth will. Not seen enough of the others eg Laidlaw, Jebson, Armstrong etc Time will tell

It’s just another cog in your inertia wheel for you as a Dobbin to come on an FC forum and rubbish the club. Personally I’d be delighted for you to go away and swivel on your Bishop’s finger, the sooner the better (you’re missing the apostrophe from your avatar by the way) Another for the ignore button methinks.

You can call it rubbishing the club but I haven't said anything that's not true have I? If that's enough to upset you into ignoring me then go ahead, you obviously aren't capable of a debate so aren't worthy of my time anyway.

For all the talk of us having an old squad, Rovers have:

Evalds 31
Burgess 30
Hiku 32
JWH 37
McIllorum 37
Sue 32
Hadley 31
Tanginoa 32

The love in is strange

I honestly thought Evalds was in his mid 20's

We must of had the youngest squad going into this season

All megalomaniacs believe that theirs is the truth and that there is little room for debate, a la Truth Social. You’re a Dobbin on an FC forum, with a very blunt axe to grind, doesn’t that tell you something? It certainly does me.

Just because he's a Rover's fan his point isn't any less valid.

I agree with BF, if our recruitment hadn't been so p1ss poor these kids would not been thrown in to the extent they've been used. Hence why we're at squad no. 50.

You can see why we've prioritised experienced SL players for next year
