Quote: Starbug "As you state , the N,East development dept is based at the Thunder , there will be funding given to them to do some of this work , it is the same model that Celtic have , this development will be accredited to them if they are ever in a position to apply to SL
This is a lop sided criteria'"
But there's funding from the RFL for development in the Wigan and Leigh service area, too. Some of this is based at LSV (eg the new League for All officer, Phil Roberts, who's a top fella and one of the leading lights behind the England Wheelchair Rugby World Champs). That'll count towards our development (or at least, to the same degree that the NE RFL team's work is).
All in all, the heartlands get far more money and support from the RFL than development areas, simply because there's so much more there to support.
