Tremendous news that Leigh Leopards have been successful in the application for an Academy Licence. The existence of the ‘Club Trained Marquee player’ rule (registered with the club for 3 seasons up to the age of 21) should help the club compete for the best talent around and help us keep and retain the top local players who will have an eye on progressing to the level deserving of a marquee contract.

You mean reserves?

Whatever! We had some schoolboy (16-1icon_cool.gif setup before Deggsy scrapped it ( I seem to remember Lee Hansen's son was in the team).

They have promised to utilise all the marquee options for Season 2025:
Club-trained marquee players will count at £50,000 on the cap,
and federation-trained players will count at £100,000.
Other marquee players will count as £150,000 on the overall cap.

I am asking, does Frankie meet the criteria, because you can't just buy a club-trained marquee player.

If you want to quibble about reserves, academy etc. that is fine. It might be a moot point because I don't even know how much a player like Frankie would earn.

Now’s your time to chuck a tenner a month in to support it..
