| Quote THECherry&Whites="THECherry&Whites"That would be the Glenn Stewart who's son has learning difficulties. He requested an early release from his contract for this family reason. His son has been struggling due to the language barrier and he and his wife wanted to move him to a school where the language was English so as to ease the pressure on his son. No lies there, he's been upfront about it.'"
That was not explained by the BBC website. Naturally I assumed the worst interpretation.

| Quote JEAN CAPDOUZE="JEAN CAPDOUZE"Glenn Stewart is a liar and a backstabber. He asked for a release for family reasons. That usually means he or his wife wants to return home. Catalans feels sorry for him and expects him to return to Australia. Instead he signs for an English club within days. What a deceitful person!.
Good luck with him, Leigh'"
Methinks that certain words of that statement should be retracted before you start receiving calls from his solicitors citing libel / defamation of character...

Why do Bradford and London run academies then? And Halifax run an elite scholarship?

Not so sure Ste.
I seem to recall this as a business decision by the BOD in order to a put everything into the 1st team squad for an assault on promotion & because so few Clubs were competing in Championship Academy RL it wasn't felt viable at the time.
Leigh were invited by SL member clubs to compete in the SL Academy comp but it was felt that the academy squad wasn't quite set to jump up a level.
Championship academy RL was on its at the time with Clubs not fulfilling fixtures & falling by the wayside.
I also (correct me if i am wrong) remember DB saying that an Academy would be looked at/introduced if/when promoted to SL, I hope for the long term success of Leigh that Derek does create a SL academy squad & that we pay it due respect.

That was reserves, not academy.

Where did Bradford and London come from?
Halifax as you say are running scholarship schemes something different than academy set ups.
