FWIW I agree.

Appears both players were highly rated and for whatever reasons neither has quite kicked on to where was expected.Seems a sensible move for both players and a change of scenery may benefit them.

Pertinent to note that Honley's year 11 side won the national schools comp this year.

Another sign that RL is developing in the area.

Fact is alot more people play RL in Wakefield than huddersfield so you have to look elsewhere like alot of clubs

Outwood grange did well as usual always have done

This is another bugbear of mine. Some people try to claim places like Dewsbury, Batley etc as Wakefield. They aren't. Just because these places have WF postcodes doesn't make them anything other than a part of Kirklees.

Ironically many of these same people will then claim Silverwood is a Huddersfield ref as he is from Mirfield. Another place with a WF postcode!

That is not the point though, is it. The point here is that RL in Huddersfield is not in the poor state that people try to infer. Our academy, whilst not the best, has still produced first team players. England squad players. The club is 3 years into a long term plan to make our academy up to the level of the best.

No one here is saying Wakey's academy set up isn't good. It clearly is. What I am saying is that ours is not as bad as some feebly try to make out and that we're improving all the time.

Never heard anyone class Dewsbury or batley as Wakefield unless they don't know the area and just see the post code. It bugs me that some people think us cas & fev are the same place just because it's all under wakefield council, makes for good derbies though both pro & amateur not much love lost

Outwood grange my old school late 80s Nigel wright r goddard in my years team I played for and every year seem to produce players who make it pro

majority of outwoods current national champs are signed on with leeds so wakey missed boat there, wakey take kids from cas aswell and have had lads from hudds too so its swings and roundabouts, we have lost players to leeds, bradford and warrington so its not wakey who get raided

few of wakeys new young signings

jack anderson from hull played for shaw cross ( kirklees )
ben warrilow form warrington played for newsome ( Kirklees )
luke metcalfe from fev from cas
brad day from leeds played for hunslet ( leeds )
cameron leeming from leeds

none of those from wakey, so you are doing same as everyone else

for the record i like wakey and want them to do well but i dont agree with the story that all other clubs do is steal your players
