Langley doesn’t play anymore.

Bateman, Bentley, Trueman and whitehead where Bradford born academy products. But that’s not what the thread is about is it?

Do you make it up as you go along - neither of those players are at Bradford anymore that’s the point!!

I can give you a massive list of Trinity products who made it big elsewhere. Ellis and old west at Warrington probably two of the finest players SL has yet produced - so your point is?

Our academy side has been hamstrung as most of the best players at the club of that age group have had to play in the first team.

Which is why the average age of our first team squad this year is 23.
16 of the 18 players used under that age. JK will tell you that.

What really makes it great at Bradford at the moment is that a large chunk of those players have come through the club from skolar level.

Still facts don’t come into it when you’re a triggered Wakefield fan.

No, the comment was about the history of clubs like Bulls propping up the rosters by poaching players from out of area - the Langley reference is valid.

I don't know who Bentley is??

So what you are saying is, Bulls have produced TWO current SL players? Really!

We aren’t in superleague either but you keep biting you loser

Ellis and Westwood both being Wfd academy products? Westwood definitely.

No we both know that’s not true but I aren’t wasting my time going through each superleague squad to pick out the bulls academy products.

I forgot Craig Kopczak too he’s another bradford born bulls academy trained superleague player.

For anyone who cares this is the original post.

I'd go

Wigan/Hull
Leeds
Saints
Castleford
Widnes
Wakefield
Warrington/Huddersfield
Catalans
Hull KR
Salford

Off the top of my head.

Every time you get shot down, you change the parameters!

Just answer - how many amateur clubs in Bradford? I'd like to know - I genuinely have no idea.

You seem happy to waste everyone else's time though!


So Kopczak makes 3. Whoopee do.

The only one wasting your time is you trying to one up everyone.

It makes five (Bradford born) but you’re as bad at counting as you are reading.

Btw the only ones changing the parameters are you lot talking about service areas, then where players were born.

So, if you are counting this as "players in your first team, that came from your academy" (which is a good question)...Wakefield have 6 (Jowitt, Johnstone, Wood, Batchelor, Crowther, Anakin), with 4 (Hooley, Wray, Kershaw and Ackroyd), in the first team squad, but yet to break through.

Jesus it’s only taken 5 pages well done

What criteria are you basing that on and have you checked it with the fun police from Wakefield?

The parameters were discussed in the development of the thread - "how are we measuring"?

You chipped in with lots of nonsense and every time you were shown up, you cried "no not that". Oh, and did it all with childish insults.

Out of interest I'd love to know how many amateur clubs in Bradford, but in the meantime, why not contribute by telling us how many Bfd academy products played today, for instance.
