yes agreed no problem with that , , i have mean no disrespect to RU or the amateur game , i spend my Saturdays at one or the other , all i am saying is Calvert signed and within about a month of starting pro training he was in the first team , not that many amateur players do that, it usually takes a number of months.
It would be interesting to hear other views on why we do not
produce super league players in cumbria, think we could name on one hand how many cumbrians in super league,
is it because the players dont want to leave the area or good jobs , i am sure some of the locals would or could do well in super league,, i can only recall rob purdham leaving haven for a transfer fee and doing well in super league , ok there are a number of players sign ( 16 - 18 ) but never seem to make it .
