Making a valid point is not a whinge. Grow up.

Ranking academies is easy - just look at the table...but what do you want to measure? League position, number of players advancing to your first team, number of players supplied to the pro game?

You knicked the Burgii from Dewsbury, Langley & Smith from Wakefield, Bateman from Leeds...the list is endless.

Just which Bradford born players are in SL right now? And which came through your academy?

We currently have the following academy products playing in our team.

Kyle Wood
Tom Johnstone
Max Jowitt
Chris Anakin
Jordan Crowther

These are genuine first team quality players plus a few first seaon juniors make up the squad.

I can tell you now that at no point in any of Bradford’s glory seasons did they have any more Academy products in there first team than that.

Like most SL clubs the bulk of your players were bought in. Grow up.

The thread is about sl academies. Ie. Wakefield (specifically Wakefield not half a dozen other clubs) academy ( not service area dumb) produced players.

Clearly reading as well as not being an easily triggered loser are not your strong points. I’m guessing it’s not talking to girls too.

Bateman is from Bradford you idiot.

None of them are from your service area either.

They didn't come from the Bradford Service Area either though, did they!

Next season, just like this, Wakey will have Jowitt, Johnstone, Wood, Batchelor as front line SL players from the academy + several others who are currently in the first team squad, but considered fringe players.

It was one of our products who scored the winner against you for York a few weeks back. Which I enjoyed...

Jake Trueman I think off the top of my head, but I reckon they're are more London born players in SL than Bradford.


Anyhow I think Wigan and Hull FC must be about equal on players that came from the Academy and were born there (if that's how we're judging it).

Sam burgess
George Burgess
Tom burgess
Elliot whitehead
John Bateman

Well done you’ve managed to equal the number of academy products from a league one side playing in the NRL in your own first team.

Two of them came from the Bradford service area but that’s not what the thread is about is it?

Hilarious you are pure comedy gold.

Take a look at your current team - even in division 2 you are totally unable to put out a home grown team which is frankly pathetic for the biggest club in the division. The majority of your squad are mercenaries and JK will tell you that. People on glass houses old love.

Also when did you last win the Academy comp, I know when we did x x x

Are you 5 years old? Cut the insults.

Ah yes, you can have Bateman.

Langley and Smith are from Wakefield (Normanton).

Please give me a list of Bradford born players who are in SL?

Which 2??

He can’t he’s so stupid he just can’t stop digging.

I thought service areas didn’t count you’ve just contradicted yourself lol

I was thinking that, but wasn't sure, hence why I asked for a Bradford list.

Bateman and whitehead moron
