No pleasing some folk,they moan when we don't have an academy,then moan when they get one going.

All I’m saying his that’s its diabolical that we can’t field a team to compete to many outsiders in the team this is my opinion some might not agree but as a past player I know how I felt to play yoy at to be on top of your game to get picked. This is what I’m getting at if we don’t do it proper then why bother playing with 11 lads every week will surely dishearten the lads that want to make a go off it we need to make sure of numbers before making fixtures. Who’s idea was it to organise a fixture knowing we was light of players surely common sense should prevail

These lads N the led academy still need paying.. there isn't enough money in rugby league for teams to sustain first teams never mind academy's. if I was 16 out of school I wouldn't be lining up to be paid pittance playing for a academy with no sure fire career in front of me I would be concentrating on getting a steady job and future. Until big investment comes into the sport as a whole we aren't going to run academy's/reserves. The owners haven't got bottomless pits of cash to throw at it

The Bulls have always run an academy and have continued to do so now we're in C1. We can afford it with the help of the Supporters Trust. Had we not had one we'd probably not have been able to get a team on the field last season. If clubs turn their back on academies the game is finished. Leigh have the resources and are making progress.

Your point proves just how backwards the game has gone,an accumulation of faults, ignorance and basically bad management all round.
The youth aspect in all of this was always going to come back and bite the sport.

The time for building bridges and investing in Clubs futures are now and can only be done via youth. But again its re-building and is a slow process for that reason.
The youth became collateral damage and there's many who can be blamed for that. Its the Clubs that need to get on board and pick the pieces up again. Or as Bullseye says, it will die.
