Quote: Dita's Slot Meter "
Also, until recently, a lot of transfers were usually among teams from the same county - Not many players were up for moving houses or driving fairly long distances to play, as the wages didn't really make it worthwhile.'"
Yes Leeds bring through a lot of players through their own Academy so a lot of the players that move on from Leeds live locally anyway. Also lots of the other Yorkshire clubs (including lower leagues) have coaches/officials with some kind of contact to Leeds, so I think when players leave Leeds they find it easier to get fixed up with another team nearby.
Maybe a similar reason explains why Wiganers that don't make it have often joined us, and our surplus goes off to Salford, Widnes or Leigh.
