[quote="His Bobness":vaft2jkm]Neil Tchamambe is out of contract at the end of this year so although he is on loan to Trinity he will not be retuning to Hull KR. Don't know too much about Noah Booth but Rovers obviously rate him to give a 4 year deal. Tchamambe has been disappointing for Rovers. When you look at his physique you think he looks the part but he doesn't run with any conviction and you end up shouting at him to give it a bit more. He has never come close to making the first team and when Lee Kershaw was signed as a back up to wingers Tom Davies and Joe Burgess it was obvious the writing was on the wall for Tchamambe. I'll be surprised if Neil Tchamambe makes the grade at Trinity or any other Super League club.[/quote:vaft2jkm] Isn't this a summary of Hull KR's academy as a whole. Still only Lewis in the expected starting 17 for 2025 and he came through the joint City of Hull academy back in 2019. Rovers failed to get one of the original 10 Elite licences due to poor performance. Subsequently given a probationary one but they still show no signs of changing the policy of buying in ready made guys rather than bringing through their own. Tchamambe is one of many young lads treading water and wasting their time at HKR.

[quote="Scarlet Pimpernell":2yhck1hl]I guess time will tell but I will be surprised if he is with us next season which is just my opinion.[/quote:2yhck1hl] Ah OK. You phrased it like you were basing it on something.

[quote="PopTart":3pfr9bvn]Why don't you believe our club has faith in the new signing? It's not like we were forced to sign him? I'm certain he's not going straight in the first team but they must see something[/quote:3pfr9bvn] He’s got potential & he has that one thing that players are either gifted with or not, speed. Couple that with his height and athleticism and there’s something to work with Maybe our S&C Coaches think he’s worth the time and effort to work with him and build his physique into something formidable which might just take him to the next level. If it doesn’t work then we’ve not really lost anything but time and effort, however if he retains his speed and bulks up he could be quite the find

I think this line in the article says it all...... "For Wakefield, it was the opportunity to sign a player they had their eye on in exchange for one they were going to lose anyway...."
