If Danny's dad is anything like him he won't be using that argument...

It's the general consensus on your board that Wakey are badly done to and Leeds have the RFL in their pocket. Anyone disagrees they're told to F off or banned.'"
For one I don't do that and number 2 I was talking about the game last night, totaly different.
Leeds won fair and square in what was a decent game. But I do agree at time some fans do try and blame referee to often, but many fans do.

I like you, you're among the few sensible Wakefield fans. The Wakey fan I met on holiday was a good lad too.

| I think it was Current Academy players he was refering to rather than players he had progressed via an Academy set up.

| At least Kear has looked to the lower leagues to bring players in rather than just take the asy option of Kolpak or second-rate Aussies ( Drew & Demetriouu excepted).
It's not his fault that the Wildats had no academy to speak of until he arrived on the scene. Bringing players through from the academy is a longterm stategey one that the franchise system is supposed to encourage now that the fear of relegation is removed.

It was a joke. But for the players we had out it's a big increase on what we have ever had before Kear came.

Jay Pitts
Steve Snitch
Dale Ferguson
Kyle Bibb (although he came from Hull but was in academy for season or 2)

Do you really think that's a fair comparison? Wakefield losing 8 from their starting 17 is going to have a greater impact on their capability than if Leeds lost the same from their side.

| Quote: McLaren_Field "Might be a bit harsh on the bloke because he's hardly stayed at a club long enough to nurture some home grown talent, but has Kear ever presided over a club where home-grown talent is the norm, or like Noble does he prefer to buy his ready made team in using someone else's money and hard work ?'"
I would suggest that Hull were heading in exactly the right direction during Kear's time there.
This is a futile argument. It is obvious that we do not have the financial clout that Leeds do, and therefore we have not had the luxury of being to invest as heavily in youth development - and the cost of signing players has risen substantially recently.
The rest of the game can only applaud the work that Leeds have undertaken in this respect and you have set the benchmark for it.
However (and there is one), some of your supporters fail to appreciate the strength in depth that Leeds have over a club like Wakey. The equivalent players from your squad, to those missing from our side last night would have included McGuire, Burrows, Diskin, Buderus, Senior, Donald, Leuluai, & Lautiti. That it no way means that our players are as good as those, just that they are as important to us as they are to you.
We are doing it tough and hanging in there. You are happy with a win and we are happy with the performance (in the circumstances). I'd like to think we could leave it there, but I know there are some that just won't let it lie!

It's a fallacy.
Leeds have been investing in youth since the start of Super league. Remember when Caddick and Hetherington took over we were insolvent. We still had the likes of Sinfield and JJB at the club.
Of course, having resources helps but we didn't always have them and it didn't prevent us pursuing a youth policy nor should it prevent clubs like Wakey. The fact is Wakey and others have in the past paid appallingly scant regard to youth development. To excuse that away with "well, we're not as rich as you" is lazy and wrong.
Saints aren't as rich as us and they#re the other great club and promoting youth. It's no coincidence that the strength of Sl lies with us and them.

| Your right, we should have taken a greater interest in youth development a long time ago but let's look to the future and if we can keep going they way we are I am sure we will do just fine.
The most important thing is we are now improving in teh youth area and are puting more money into it, which I am sure will help in the long run and prove a good investment

| I understand that this a thread about Wakey but they have acknowledged their previous failure to develop youth. The teams really guilty that have had the resources and ignored youth development or at least its implementation with regard to their own 1st team squads were Bradford, Wigan and to a lesser extent Warrington.

Do you know which one is your dad - must be very confusing when they're all introduced as 'Special Uncles'?

I can accept what you say, but I still add into that the fact that we were skint - completely in 2000 - and all of our available funds were taken up just staying in SL, which if we hadn't done so, would have meant we weren't even at the races now. So, the use of the word 'rich' is only relevant to the each club involved and some clubs clearly have a bigger income / turnover than others, that's not lazy and it's not wrong, it's a statement of fact and I wish it weren't so.
We are well aware of the challenges we face in this area and steps are being taken to improve our junior development even now, which should help us as a club and, if all clubs continue down this line, will help the game and the national teams in general!
