| I assume with the Salford friendly the next day JM will use this extra game to give players not involved on Sunday a game and throw in a few youngsters as well.

| I think Willie will play against Salford in front of a home crowd rather than an away crowd which to be fair I cant see many been there. We didn't even know about it until now......

| Cant see many going at all, its pretty obvious the 1st choice 17 will be playing against Salford with maybe afew others getting abit of game time, that are on verge of the 17.
It will be everyone else in the 1st team squad that misses out plus afew youngsters.

Dual Reg? they take our youngsters off us to get game time and pay a tiny ammount towards there wage then they come back to us with experience and we sign afew of theres up at the same time, sounds a good idea but surely would of made more sense using York or someone of the like.

don't worry too much about gekko's comment's, you will often find him on here spouting crud, sometimes i think he is the bustard love child of mrs b, a former poster on this board.
i'm sure the link up will beifit all parties, but i do agree with an earlier post which mentioned why not choose a team closer to home? like east hull.

Makes perfect sense really. You would think that Rovers are already keeping tabs on the best kids around that locality, along with several other SL clubs. West Cumbria has no SL presence and has a lot of talented kids. Two of the players in the recently announced England Youth squad were Workington scholarship lads, though they're shown as Wigan players having signed for Wigan a couple of weeks before the squad was announced. If Rovers can get a head start in tapping into the talent pool in West Cumbria then they may get a lot of benefit out of it.

Sounds good!!! Though i think the reality of it will be considerably different. Getting young players to relocate 200 miles away (in either direction) on £7k-£9k (which is basically what these youngsters get offered) per year is going to be incredibly difficult, if not impossible. Particularly when you consider they have to pass the likes of Wigan. Saints, Wire, Bradford and Leeds along the way all of whom, both historically and currently, have a far better record on player development than Rovers. If young Cumbrian players value their career opportunities, Hull KR would be way down the pecking order in all honesty.
Its not that hard to pick holes in what is clearly a PR excercise.

Was waiting for that one, and you didn't disappoint.
Hull announce they have signed a decent young player from Cumbria, 3 days later and not to be outdone Rovers announce a partnership with a Cumbrian club. Not really sure what Rovers current crop of half decent youngsters would get out of travelling up to your neck of the woods to play at a level only a small notch up from Conference rugby and i'm not sure where any of Workingtons youngsters would fit in at HKR.
Its all PR mate and more to do with trying to outdo FC and take some of the heat out of the Mason saga. 12 months down the line it will all be forgotten about

Agreed; surely a link up with York/sheffield type teams would make more sense anyway, Along with our great ties with Grimsby which seems to be going errrr great

| i think its a positive thing i went to Workington when we last played them and really enjoyed the day and never a more friendlier group of fans. Workington has had a tough time as they had a fire day before the game then the floods affected them ive chosen to ignore the dullers cheap shots think it will be beneficial to both clubs.
