Hull FC - blackandwhites.co.uk • COHA

Neither Hull or Rovers can afford or are prepared to fund their own competitive junior set up. The RFL pay 50% of the costs of COHA whilst Hudge and Pearson personally split the the other 50% equally between them. It comes direct from their pockets, not the Clubs coffers.
It is actually a very well funded and resourced set up, though at the minute I think the players are seen very much as guinea pigs.
For those who want to see an end to the merger, I suggest they get used to it because I believe contracts have been exchanged with the RFL to extend the partnership till the end of 2022 at the earliest.
Perhaps Hull just need to be smarter and stop Rovers signing the best players!
With regards the latest crop of Scholars. I believe that COH have now been back into the community game and made some more offers to different kids. Whilst these lads may be unfancied currently, and the best players have gone to Cas, it doesn't mean follow that they will still be the best at 16/19/23. Let's hope these new lads make the most of their opportunity and we are watching them in our first teams in years to come.
Just like all the other 'INVESTMENTS' that AP has made with regards to the club, they are that, an investment in his business, he will get back that money (And some) one way or the other or do you think he is a benefactor owner that throws a shed load of his own personal money at the club?
Now that Rovers are back in SL the sledging with regard to 'lower league team' etc cannot be used and with respect to the COHA personnel, would this now change the balance somewhat?
