| Quote Maccbull_BigBullyBooaza="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 |

| Quote vastman="vastman"So no Tom Johnstone then.
Or Ben Westwood or Danny Brough,
There are a fair few others who started at Wakefield but I just can’t be bothered.
Then of course there is the list of Wakefield based players but that list would just be enormous, Stanley Rangers alone has produced more players than some pro clubs.
Get a grip.'"
I know you guys are having a bit of a ding dong, but Wakefield have of course produced many great players like Fev and Cas and my word in the sixties and early seventies the talent in the "Calder" area was massive........ |

I thought the pathway was the community game to the senior club. Why the need for academies? |

No I didn’t. I merely pointed out how many players our academy has consistently produced that have competed at the top level.
Also you don’t rate Jake Trueman the super league young player of the year 2018 &2019?
The reason we haven’t got a licence is because they had already decided they didn’t want anymore than 2 of the 12 licences to be given to aides outside of super league. They’ve only given out 10 licences. |

I didn't see that reason anywhere 
Has that reason been published by the RFL or is it a guess? |

An explanation has been sent to each unsuccessful application. |

I know it has. Has that reasoning then been declared as to why Bradford failed or is just a guess? |

It was in the original blurb but the club were confident on the strength of the academy. The club are making representations based on the fact there are two licences available that haven’t been issued. |

I have suggested comparing notes. That way you have your answer. |

Since when did The RFL care about that exactly ? |

Bradford haven't mentioned it. They said they hadn't received it yet.
The RFL haven't mentioned it (that I can see) which is why I'm wondering where it's come from.
IF it is the case then I can see why Bradford would be peed off. |
