No we dont , but we also dont expect posters to suggest they are doing anything ' wonderful ' on the playing front , they are what they are , a team of aussies playing in Wales , much like Gateshead were a team of aussies playing in Gateshead , if they survive then they will start to get real Welsh lads coming through as there is in Wales a large number of young players with the required skills

| Quote JB Down Under="JB Down Under"haha, because we never had a 1st div full of foreign players pre SL did we? Anyone remember the Fax side of 13 Australian/Kiwis? How about the all conquering Wigan side of the 90's, how many foreign players were in that squad?
As a supporter of a club I really don't care, give me 9 foreigners and a top 4 finish over 4 foreigners and a bottom 3 finish any day of the week! Of course I'd love to see England/GB beat Australia regularly but I'm not stupid enough to think HKR having 2 or 3 extra Australians in the side is going to make a blind bit of difference. The gap between the money and systems for jnr player development in Australia and GB is immense, absolutely huge. That is why they are better than us, not because HKR or any other SL team has 9 overseas players instead of 6.'"
Except it wasn't full of Aussies, but had a majority of British player.

| Out of curiosity, what's the problem about developing the western end of the ground?

Houses directly behind the stand, and will block the sunlight from them FWIH.

Is this a special Leeds sun, that comes down the pitch from the east, staying low, then? Because the normal one would rise in the east and circle round the back of the South Stand shining on the back of these houses as normal.
By this argument, the owners of these houses should demolish them, because their own houses are blocking their own light to their own front gardens half the day.
Still, lucky that the proposed new big screen scoreboard is completely transparent and won't block anyone's light, then.

Ta. Sounds like there's what's known as an Ancient Lights Order floating around.

| Quote Sarf Essex Taff="Sarf Essex Taff"A press release confirming the signing of a youth player who has not as yet played first grade and may never do so is a rather desperate attempt to show success though'"
no what it shows is that we are developing young players and giving them a chance to make it at 1st grade by offering them FT contracts. Isn't that the point of the argument?
from our chairman:
Quote Sarf Essex Taff"I also know how they love to see home-grown talent representing the club.
"As Chairman, one of my goals has been to improve our youth system. We have to produce our own stars of the future.
"That’s why, year-on-year, we are investing a six-figure sum in our youth structure.
"Gone are the days, I hope, when some of our top young players move across the river or down the M62. We now have an established set up in place. It is early days but already, we have seen home-grown talent coming into the first team on a regular basis.
"Other young players are on the verge of the senior squad. Our U18’s side has secured a place in the top group of their competition this season and this is credit to the hard work both on and off the field.
"We recently announced the signing of nine promising youngsters – a record number for the club. That highlights our commitment to bring top English talent to Hull KR.
I’m sure you would agree that it would be tremendous to see these players progress and challenge for a first team place." '"
