ive just seen on broncos site that all academy games against bulls this weekend have been called off

He has done this before, yes. As our Plymouth contributor has told us he needs to be watched, does Mr Gargoyle.

This is 4 years worth of youth development at risk here. And I understand the current plan "moving forwards" will rely heavily on youth....

This is the time of year that next years scholars are approached, and the current scholars get their first pro contract.

You also need a specific coaching qualification for youth development and we seem to have made our youth development posts redundant.

Agreed with this

Isn't it also the case that there is a SL License requirement to have an Academy (which needs these specifically qualified people)?

I too fear for the academy and scholariship players, now and immediate future.

A mass exodus of young players is a strong possibility with the lack of communication from anyone, further weakening the bulls SL aspirations with the federation trained regulations. To tell the academy boys just turn up next thursday we don't have a game or training and "lets just see what happens" shambles!!
