The wane effect. Thuggery running through the whole club

No its not just you.

Whole thing stinks.

I would guess that the only people at the club who don't think it is a good idea are the ones who know their limited ability is likely to mean they will lose their job, which in the scheme of things is what the merger is about, getting rid of the dead wood and hangers on and making sure only the Elite players and coaches in this City are invested in.

I would also be interested to know what you mean when you suggest Rovers are getting a Christmas present Wilf? I presume you mean that these players are leaving Hull and signing for Hull KR? That is the only way Hull KR could benefit from the current crop of U19's and 16's at Hull FC.

If you think Wane is using thug tactics throughout the club I suggest you ring Wigan and ask if you could visit Central Park and see the set up.

The most polite people I have ever met from Receptionist to Players. And the reason for this? Wane insists that every person at the club is polite and makes an effort to say hello and offer to help any person the come into contact with. It is not unusual to see a player helping a cleaner do her job. He is massive on creating exceptional human beings, not just Rugby Players.

They also ensure that the dressing room is exactly how they found it, home or away, and that job belongs to the 18th man however they rarely do it alone and often the whole squad chip in and make sure it is spotless when they leave.

Ring them, they will happily let you look around CP and see for yourself.

So has formal consultation begun and if so when did the clock start?

And of course you have never heard Wane romanticising on about Mc thuggery either ?

You seem to only see what you want too, and not capable of seeing what every one else does.

I'm not sure about you but if a guy told me to go and hurt another human being I would like to think I am strong enough to make my own decision on what to do.

There are other coaches that are far 'dirtier' than Wane but they like to keep it to themselves. Wane talks the truth and people don't like it.

I'm not sure when it started but I seem to remember this being discussed 3 years ago and falling through so perhaps that was when it started.

.It hasnt been Central Park since 1999.

This sign big enough for you boys?

I was actually blown away by it, they have done an amazing job.

Really impressive and something the new merged Academy must strive to be similar to in my opinion.

Can't this thread just be about the games? There's a thread for the merged academy already on the board. Does it really matter where Wigan's academy is to us?

Ahah didn't know that was round there so I apologize for not knowing and our set up is rather good thank you,tied into one of the leading colleges in Bishop Burton and doing rather well thanks.

It is not a patch on Wigan's place but still very good.

Perhaps with the savings made during the merger they can upgrade to the same level?

But but Wigans and Leeds academy's are soooo good,sooner doper to everyone else's

Last lot of grading a announced,we had a Grade A along with you,so do we upgrade to A+

Who is we?

I have feck all to do with Wigan, I just happen to know how good the place is compared to Bishop Burton having visited and being shown around both.

You would not expect a lower mid table side to have the same academy set up as a champion team but Hull FC are not far off and that is down to Adam Pearson, Lee Radford and their staff.

As I said on another thread I do not recognise anything the RFL say, in this case their points scoring. They cannot organise themselves so I have no interest in how many points they have given one side over another.

An academy should be evalulated, in my opinion, by the number of players it has produced that are now playing in Super League or the Championships, not how many of it's kids handed in their homework on time (which is officially part of the criteria albeit worded a little differently).

Unfortunately I don't have the time or inclination. Good to hear though and I'm sure if they continue to do it one day it will filter through to the playing side
