How many players did we produce who starred in the first team during the golden decade 2004 - 2015?
Senior, Peacock, Ellis, McDermott, Furner, Poaching, Lauitiiti, Webb. Bai,Luluia McDonald, Buderus, Moone. Plus many others who were None home produced.

Sinfield, McGuire, Watkins, Hall, Burrow all top quality and Yes there were some others like like Diskin Jones- Bishop, Bailey, Smith, Abblett (plus a few others) who were a level below also Gale and McShane who got away.
Great Rhinos players all but not so many big home academy produced players as you would imagine.
Obviously some names have been missed for whom I apologise and of course it is only my opinion which I am sure many will question.
My point being we probably have not produced as many big name internationals as might be imagined. I do believe we have a current crop from scholars to U18’s who just might come through and star in future first teams. So we are still amongst the best (certainly this side of the Pennines) at bringing on young talent.

We certainly need a new captain and loose forward , sadly, I don't think Cam Smith is worth a place in the team unless its about 6th replacement prop.

I know you are all disillusioned , but, Leeds is still the elite job in English RL, we like to think we (Hull) are a big draw, but Leeds , along with Wigan, are the two top jobs and, perceived by others, two best resourced clubs in the English game. If a coach is available, and you want him, you'll get him, unless that person is a bottler.

Spot on OWL.. won;t let me reply to your post (this site is getting worse)...

It’s seems to have gone quiet on the new coach front I personally would have thought they would have had someone in place by now

Brad Arthur confirmed for the rest of the season
