But at least It's statement, which is what you asked for isn't it?.. It's better late than never and it explains a bit more than the papers etc..

been from hull , theres players all over at different clubs as the sport is strong in hull as it always has been, even 20 years ago when i played at york 6 of us came from hull , more from castleford and leeds not many york lads and we got promoted and got to challenge cup semi final, so you recruit to the best playing staff you can, i feel money is going to be the down fall ,as in most sports you cannot operate without it, and players leaving the club at this time in the season it doesnt look good . even at scholarship level this season players have left and gone to other super league clubs due to the way the club handled things and the problems seem to keep mounting in the club. when my son came to the club last year on scholarship i really though the club was on the up and craig harrison had a buzz about him, then ellery as coach ,lost owner, coach and now more players ,how things have changed now

Yes as stated earlier, I accept there is a greater number of players from the Hull area because of the strength of the game in the Hull area compared with Donny Fact is, from what Ive seen so far the ones turning out for the reserves (who we must agree on in theory are the future of the club) are no better than the local lads who are being kept not only out of the starting line up, but not even making the bench. At least 2 of these are cracking teenage talents already playing open age and on scholarships. They are much more likely to stick with the club in my opinion than lads from outside the area (re the origin of this thread) who will get fed up with the travelling involved for little return.
From where Im standing the clubs about to go tits up again and this time may not recover.

the club should look closer to home for players i agree , and local players should be given a chance to show what they can offer, i hope the club can get though these times , this season was always going to be hard , on and off the field

how many of your doncaster scholarship players at 16s are good enough to go up a level? only 2 ?if good enough why are they not snapped up ?this should tell you how good your scholarship is, and most clubs bring in players from other areas ,normally around half of squad good enough if recruitment is right

Re: Dave Marshall : Sat May 09, 2009 7:17 pm  

I feel that without Dave we wouldnt have a club after Craig Harrison dumped the club when it was at its highest peak for years (I would think a decent man would have kept quiet for at least 24 hours after the game).

How the fook did he do that then!

Bailey and Richards. And no I didn't go on Thursday but Ive seen the other games and if it was the same York side who played at Toll Bar they were no great shakes. 4 defeats from 4 including 2 against them tells its own tale.
I would like the reserves to turn it around but from what I've seen so far it isnt going to happen.

Yet another 1 jumps ship today-and to 1 of your relegation rivals
