Quote: Maccbull_BigBullyBooaza "I was respond of going to one comment. No I’m not I judge academies on their ability to consistently develop players year in year out. Ours still does that despite everything that’s gone on.

Look at how many of our first team players came through our academy. Then consider how many peace every year to go and play in super league.'"


You suggested Bradford had better products than Wakefield and Huddersfield, how many of their players, Huddersfield especially are now Super league regulars?
you virtually dismissed the strength of those 2 academies on the basis that they have 1 and 2 academy products in the england squad while conveniently ignoring those regularly playing Super League and indeed in the England Knights squad.
Apart from the 3 you mentioned in the squad and Bent;y O'brien and Mellor i'd suggest that huddersfield and possibly wakefield have produced a better standard of players than Bradford, hence they have a licence and Bradford don't

Robin Park Arena is not for the sole use of WRL and is not owned, in any way, shape or form, by WRL.

It's a tenancy.

You used it to take the P out of Cas and Wakey, saying "your" training facility was better than those clubs first team grounds.

All your facilities are rented.

Is that another way of paying rent?.

No - that's the bills.

The rent they pay is separate.

Quote: Pumpetypump "It may well be frustrating, but its not difficult to see why that will have taken hold. You get promoted after winning the 1998 Division 1. The next year Hunslet win it and get told they are ineligible for promotion due to their ground. The following year Dewsbury win it and get told the same thing. So either your ground was good enough, or you promised to make it so. You are saying it's the former. I don't know which is true, that's why I was asking.'"


you go back a long time icon_biggrin.gif

So do I, but my take on this is Superleague did not want two clubs in Leeds, and didn't want a "Small club" either but wanted a city club with a good history.....

At that time SL did not know Wakey council would not be supportive of their top footy club, or that Wakey would be shafted on Newmarket.

As for a promise to make Belle Vue good enough to be in SL, well SL seems to accept it's good enough and have done for 20 years?...........

Quote: dboy "
WRL do not own a single blade of grass fit to host SL rugby league.

Of course, I'd still prefer that to what we do have (though one day, being tenants will come to haunt clubs like Hudds, Wigan & Hull FC).'"


Tremendous point.

Maybe SL should only accept clubs who own their own ground??

Wakefield make every effort they can to improve the ground, it makes sense to do so as it was said at the time a better ground would mean better finances and a stable club.

Carter has improved the ground best he can and continues to do so, and he keeps the finances in decent shape too.

Aren't Salford at risk of collapse because they do not own the ground??

This Wakey bashing is really silly..... Go bash Salford.....
