If it was brought in last year, Saints would have finished lower as their grubiness would have come to light.

As an example, Leeds would have turned you over twice if a Captains Challenge was brought out on Lomax's imaginary punch, and he would be sent off for lying to the referees instead of the innocent McDonnell.

What kind of champions can't fairly beat a 13 man Leeds team who struggled against Wakey and Cas?

Leeds has the entire Yorkshire catchment area to themselves and still has a terrible academy.

It’s not the players fault, it’s the clubs fault fur having such poor coaches.

'Top 4 clubs', 'probably', and 'most of them', is not the same as 'players no one else wants'. You are speculating and grasping at straws.



Rumour is that he is about to re-sign his Leeds contract up until end of 2027. Anyone else not want to be there?



Whilst the on field results might have been disappointing, there is no denying that there are some quality players there. International coaches seem to agree.

7 out of the 10 clubs in the Academy Competition are in Yorkshire. If anything, Leeds have stiffer competition than Wigan, Wire or Saints, in regards to recruiting youth players.

I've noticed you've swerved the other questions.

Paul Anderson selected 14 players from St Helens, Wigan and Warrington and only 7 players from the Yorkshire teams in the England Academy 21 man squad. The contribution from Leeds Academy was very poor from a large catchment area. the far reaches of Hull and Hull KR look more promising whilst Leeds appear to be resting on ones laurels.

Leeds have recently signed the England Lions captain. Hardly resting on laurels.
