Under 16s is notoriously unpredictable but Leeds always sign up the best whilst Cas and Wakefield snare the best of the rest.
However there is a huge dollop of luck involved and quite often the players from the top team fail to step up whilst a lesser teams ends up producing a good batch of SL players - it’s so hard to know.
The advantage Leeds have is sheer numbers and occasionally and certainly far more often than most clubs you get a golden crop.
In my time at Wakefield I’ve only seen us do it once and that was basically a team of rejects. I think it was 2000ish and included amongst others Ellis, Westwood and Brough over a few seasons. You do it far more often than that which IMO is a good thing for both Leeds and the game because as we know you can’t keep them all
