apologies to everyone for jumping the gun

Feel free to pull out of the deal, then hand the cash back to the rfl

Seriously you expect no rovers academy employees to be given a role? Talk about blinkered

So what you are trying to say i think is we have to bow to the bigger club IE hull fc

you never know it might work out well for both clubs

I hope it does then both hull and rovers will be trend setters

I agree nothing ventured nothing gained, I wonder if they have thought well outside the box & share the facilitys of Hull city as well (medical, physio ect) it would bring savings & cost beafits to all three clubs.

Why on earth would Hull City want to share their medical team with the City of Hull Academy? They have a team of full time medical professionals.

The new academy is based at Bishop Burton College, the home of Hull FC's current youth set up and Hull City's Scholorship set up. Why would you want them to leave what is a fantastic venue to go and train at City's first team training set up in Cottingham?

You're making it sound like West Hull ARLFC moving in with Hall Road Rangers.

There is a lot of things that all three clubs are using, sports medicine equipment & practitioners, the cost could well be spread across all teams, first to the academy's. The same goes with purchasing kit & equipment the savings benefit everyone the football offsets some cost & the rugby gets better value for money by sharing, its not rocket science?

Any idea how ring-fencing will work with the club-trained rule?

Would a player let go by one club qualify as club-trained if the other wanted to give them a shot? Or maybe later in their career, returning to the area from another club altogether? Not that any system seems to last that long in RL!

I'm bored of this merged academy debate
