Did he sign for you?

Robbo wouldn't get in because you have Leuleui - an import - hence my point.

Brown wouldn't get in the side ahead of Tommy.

I said was their any truth in that he "nearly" signed.

What is your point again?

Imports over developing your own talent.

On one hand you bag England selections then on the other you totally miss the point over your own teams choices for imports over English.

On the other hand, you could argue a 25% increase from the 2010 number to the 2011 number. Depends how you wish to look at it

Again, Wigan do develop talent.

They don't have to stay in Wigan to be developed, they can become good players elsewhere like Brown, Robinson. Just because you pay them and we have what we feel is better, doesn't mean they are Huddersfield doing their bit for England. Huddersfield didn't bring them through.

I prefer to take the long term view.

At first glance, i thought this thread was about some disgruntled Celtic FC fan spray painting a "welcome to Hull" sign.

Cheerleading Rovers meeting these minimum requirements as a sign of a brave new world of Rovers' squad being built around a nucleus of homegrown players is getting a bit giddy in this context.
