it is noboddys fault,
1st if we had a u18s we would be allowed to run a full a scholarship
2nd the money you have to put into a scholarship is unbeleivable, plus the LISA money used to fund this, which now goes to the club towards players,
3rd the rfl have told championship clubs they can only have 10players at each age group at scholarship to save money for both club & rfl,
SO DOWN TO IT ALL ITS ABOUT MONEY FOR BOTH CLUB & RFL

alright,fault was the wrong word to use.
what it boils down to is,we cant afford to run a u18s and a scholership,so the rfl have said..because you cant afford to run a u18s we are not going to allow you to run a scholarship 'is that it'

Been told by someone who was once something to do with the 18s that Leigh are not allowed to run an 18s due to something that happened .

i thought we were getting to the bottom of this conundrum and then you go and throw this in..mi eds stating to bang again now

we are allowed to run a u18s if we could afford one,
but like i said money is an issue, LISA money used to fund the scholarship, that now goes
towards players like Robbie Paul & other players, there are certain rules to running a scholarship, to many to quote on here, but here are a few,
1, each scholar has to be kitted out with full training gear, (roughly 60pounds per player )
2, each training session has to be at a decent training facility approved by the rfl & paid for by the club, you can't just go onto some field & train/coach.
3, you have to have 1 qaulified coach per 5players, each coach does it for nothing/don't get paid, i have been coaching at Leigh Centurions for 6years now. & so on & so on.

Thanks for all the info lobby & pies, at least i understand it a bit more now.

what you wrote was...if my info is correct,im sorry demon but that could mean anything.

No thats my way of protecting myself....and yes i do believe it is to do with misdemeanours from a few years ago ie not recent. They don't half hold a grudge that RFL lol. Have also posted same several times in the past. Not my fault if people chose not to listen/read.

[sizeshhhhh but as long as I post relevant posts I get closer to Gold Member status!!![/size

Thats what i was told ,misdemeanours and that we couldn't run an 18s again

WE CAN & ARE ALOOWED TO RUN A U18s
the club choose's not to.

Really? We are talking about the this season and last

YES we are & have been allowed to run a u18s, we have never been stopped from running a u18s whilst ive been coachingat the club, the club just choose not to

Interesting maybe a word from a director to confirm or deny this would be good. Especially considering where I got my information.
