what is it with hull kr and overseas players!?

Xenophobe!

Yes it's strange how we are the only team to have them.

How many overseas players have your lot signed?

how many non english players has your team got. Fair few I reckon.

im happy with the signings of Poore, Weyman, Keeting and Costigan but not so much with Maki and Paniu, because IMO these 2 are big gambles that may do well or may not, but they may hinder the progress of our youngsters.

Its because there youth systems gash.

Yet the same no. of overseas players as Hull (once McGoldprick is confirmed).

There? Where?

you've been trying hard to get a bite today haven't you first on the wakey board and now on here for the record we have as many overseas players as you have fans

And yours is on par with Wigans isn't it

Their best player is a jock

We have more of our own developed players then you though. So that means your youth development is babba.

Aye,wee Mickey McPaea.

When did he sign for The Giants?

Just when we all thought you couldn't make yourself look any more stupid, you surpass all expectations, congratulations sir, you are truly an exceptional nob!

Sorry my error didn't read far enough back.

You may have noticed that I didn't use the word deliberate. Just a small, but significant point.

You've got a good no nonsense prop who ran the ball in very hard and Withers got in the way. I was stood in that corner and it was a brave effort of Withers but Poore was going at a rate of knots....he'll give you real go forward. Just hope we can afford a cheap replacement at WTW who can carry on from where he left off but not give the penalties that he did sometimes.

Indeed.

We've just seen no less than SEVEN overseas players LEAVE from last seasons squad.

All good experienced players too.

I'm sure the critics would love us to replace what is half a team with untried kids but no thanks we 'd rather not be involved in a bottom 2 relegation dogfight thank you. And we are not going to be.

And congratulations to exciting products Josh Guzdek and Connor Robinson who will join the first team squad for 2014. We'll promote anyone who is good enough and these kids are.

Wakefield sold Cumbrian prop Kyle Amor to Saints for £50k a figure we matched but were unsuccessful. Now we have taken State of Origin player Justin Poore off them instead for no fee at all.

We wouldn't have needed either of them if HKR product Scott Taylor hadn't been enticed away by a richer club in Wigan despite a very big offer to keep him.

So it was 1st choice local lad Taylor, 2nd choice Cumbrian Amor and third choice State of Origin player Poore. Strangely the cheapest and in the end the only one available to us was Poore. Who arguably is the best player of the lot and unquestionably the one with the most runs on the board.

What is it with Hull KR and overseas players? Answers on a postcard.

Poore cheap? you've seen the KR contract he's on then? He was definitely on a lot more than Amor at Wakefield. Signing fee and contract sizes need to be both looked at as no signing fee doesn't always equate with 'cheapest' overall deal. He was the WTW marquee signing last season and a surprise that he'd come to a small club. Rumour of 100k per year. Good prop though as is Amor.

Poore is on a very good deal at Rovers of course he is, matching his wages at Wakefield which they couldn't afford.

But a transfer fee of nothing is definitely cheap compared to Taylor £100k and Amor £50k. Poore is on a 2 year deal so it's almost like year one is free.

Which in any case ignores my point that he was the only one of the 3 willing to sign for Rovers. If Taylor had signed we wouldn't have bid for Amor and if Amor had signed we wouldn't have bid for Poore.

So when eventually third choice Poore signs I think it is valid for me to counter the question 'what is it with Hull KR & overseas players'.

seven overseas players left then replaced with more overseas players, not the way forward im afraid. Your setup is all wrong for the game. Thought we had moved on from reliance of overseas players but at hull kr it seems not
