A) its not a loophole its adhering to the rules as they are written.
B) he's 20 and has amazing strength and style for a kid so young, he might not have the same step as Tyrer but he bumps big players off better than most centres in the league.
C) We are not shirking our GB duties, he is eligable to play for GB anyway but Saints have two first choice centres that are not eligable, only one they have is Tyrer and he's only 3rd choice.
D) We will see with a full off season to bring him in line and see where Justin plays him, at second row he's looked a lot more assured and made good runs out wide, its his favoured position too.

Ok so we have brought over a good aussie youngster with massive potential and he doesnt count as a none federation trained player, live with it we are doing NOTHING wrong.

How about posting some positives regarding our academy - we are promoting 3 academy players on full-time contracts next season along with giving a chance to young Menzies from Batley, also with Scott Johnson spending some time with the first team squad next year...

maybe because you need to

***cough*** Special dispensation ***cough*** take-over money = academy set up ***cough***

all that coughing has sent that comment right over your head

Rhys the beast doesnt have to wait til October at all. Said last night he's desperate to stay and his contract will be finalised in the next week or 2. The kid is an awesome talent. Ive not seen a 20 yr old with potential as good as his for a long time and he will be big star in the game.

SmokeyTA, i would suggest you watch the other 6 games you missed before making a judgement. You dont play for Aussie Schoolboys if your 'average'

TBF whilst its nice to see your club actually doing something at youth level (and only because you have to), not one of them are a product of your own youth set up.

BTW who is your U-18's coach and PPM???

Is this like Scotty Wheldon not being a product of your academy with 5 more players to boot?

Wheldon started off at Hull KR yet I'm sure you'll class him as a product of your academy and quite rightly so. Maybe you should get a grip on life. They left their respective clubs for one reason or another, like wheldon for yourselves.
Rovers have brought the said players on. FFS Welham is going into his 4th season at KR so surely his development in the past few seasons is down to KR? Netherton his third and Chaz I'Anson his 2nd.

I have no idea. If you know maybe you'd like to share it with us?

HKR have a youth setup to develop young talent from this region just like FC, I get the feeling Morgan just isn't prepared to let Lovegrove leave the club as he feels like many Rovers fans including myself that he could be big!!

All the top young rugby league talent in this region has gone FC's way in recent times, because FC were the only Super League side and had the pick of the bunch.

We need time to bring youth through our system and into the first team, the young rugby league talent in the region will now become more evenly split between the two clubs.

Rovers have just given Welham and I'Anson both young british local talent a chance in the big time, and our youth setup produced one of the best players currently in British rugby league in the form of Jon Wilkin.

your statement was quite good upto that point

Your not a fan of his?

Probably doesn't want to admit that Hull KR has produced the best Hull born player that is currently playing in SL.

Judging by the person running our academy and community set up my guess is Peter Levy or James Websters Mum.

They just can't help themselves can they

Im sure Mallinson will help out with the academy now, alongside a certain Mr Dunn with his youth development skills.

Tyrone smith played for the Aussie schoolboys, and hes pretty average

and wasnt this the same Aussie schoolboys as Dimitri Pelo played for, the first to get beat by the GB equivelant in a long long time

if he is so awesome it makes you wonder why he didnt get a game at St George when they lost all their centres this season

wonder if she will like her new boss

Scrawl all the negatives you like, the fact is we have watched him improve for us with every game, he has taken to SL quite well and is big, strong and skillful and I reckon he will only get better. At 20 yrs old he has got to be worth a contract and I would not bet against him becoming a top SL second rower with time.

Disagree with that, very impressed with him when i've seen him

How can god have a boss???

well if being the third best centre and harlequins impresses you then no wonder your impressd by lovegrove

not scrawling for anything, if he is good enough to bend the rules for, he would be good enough for saint george, he may get to be a first grade player, he may be a game in game out player for you, but he will never play for Aus, he will never play for GB, he isnt going to be MoS and isnt worth the exception, and is exactly the type of player the RFL should be looking to discourage clubs from bringing over

One thing I'm not impressed with is your shoddy grammar!
