Sorry, but this is just nonsense and designed to wind up people on this board. You can't back this up with any evidence whatsoever and have proved yourself to be a laughing stock.

No it wasnt, it was a simple reply to a person that claimed Bulls youth policy doesnt exceeds Castlefords. I think it does and as it goes, Ritz is a Bulls fan and I wasnt even speaking or aiming anything at 1 single Castleford fan. So step down off that rather large GeeGee, please.
I's struggle to name 7 top class or very good players that Cas have produced recently(recently being since the start of Super League and since there has been an emphasis on clubs producing there own stars), however, I can name a few decent ones so maybe i'd scrape seven. So thats all the evidence I need, on the contrary I can names quite a few high quality names that have come through Bradfords youth system.
Ive got you a lil challenge, why dont you name me a starting 17 from players developed by Castleford and their youth system(Thats played in their first and youth/reserve teams if you didnt know) in the past 15 or so years, and after you have done that, i will name you exactly the same but with players from Bradford, then we'll see who has the better youth policy. We can then measure up which players then have the most succesful and distinguished careers. (How would you like to do that, years at top clubs, international caps, winners rings, how?)
You taking me up on that Georgie?

| Mike, don't fall out with the Cas lot, there's a good chap? They are generally a decent crowd (although admittedly there is that tb chap... ) and we usually get on OK with them (especially when they are playing Leeds) and like going to their place. Surely its their bosum pals down the other end of the Normanton Bypass that you ought to be poking?

I've neither the time or inclination to dredge up 17 from the last 15 years but it took about 10 seconds to undermine your "evidence" and name 7 very good Cas products playing in SL now:- Watts, Westerman, Shenton, Huby, Godwin, Orr, Lunt.

Sorry but Huby, Godwin and Westerman dont count as very good, only mediocre and decent, so yeah, scraping 7 as I said.
Somebody take the challenge please it should be fun to compare the two clubs success in devloping juniors from within their ranks.

| It's amusing that Bradford trolls now have to scour the forums of 'lesser' clubs trying to start arguments. It aptly highlights the plight of this once above average club into one scrabbling in the lower echelons of the Super League table. Just waiting for usernames such as 'Bulls4Top10finish2015' to emerge...

I just think it's funny that a Bulls fan started this thread and implied that Cas are no longer a classy attacking side; when they support one of the most dull, boring and unentertaining teams in Rugby League.

What fun would there be in either set of fans naming 17 players who the other set could childishly deride as mediocre/decent regardless of their actual quality? Life (to those who have one) is far too short for such an exercise in infantility.
PS If you don't count Huby/Westerman/Godwin what about internationals such as Lynch/Olima/Pryce. And are you the only fan I know of who doesn't rate Richie Owen? Jeez I'm up to 11 already and haven't really thought about it.

| Because you know your list will be blown apart by mine is why you wont do it. Like I said earlier, Lynch is about the best youve produced. Pryce who? The Wayne Variety? You might be upto 11 players, but 11 very good players it is not.
Just please stop trying to kid yourself that Cas's record and policy of youth development is anything remotely similar to ours in terms of numbers and quality.

You seem to be mistaking me for someone who gives a flying **** about your youth development....I was just reponding to questions about ours. However I note you seem to have resorted to the "'I'll show you mine if you show me your's" approach to comparison of products, suggesting you're the only kid around here...and a tiresome one at that if you persist with the argument that established internationals such as Shenton and Elima are not very good players. Please don't feel obliged to reply, I sense a distinct swing of the tedium barometer.
