Quote jaybs="jaybs"It's just an opinion like yours, I feel for the many young local players at top Super League clubs whose opportunities are weakened when the clubs feel they need to look to London to take the Best of the Youth, that is just fact, some will say if local lads are good enough they will make it? well from experience in working in the youth game in the North, that does not always work.'"

All played Super League for us in 2014 and all come through our junior ranks at some point.
Then you have the following players who also came through our ranks and are now at other clubs:
Scott Moore
Matty Ashurst
Andrew Dixon
Lee Gaskell
Jamie Foster
Jamie Ellis
Paul Clough
You're right, we don't produce our own youngsters!!
You are obviously spitting your dummy out because you are likely to be relegated and will probably lose some or all of your better players. Your repetitive use of the word "vultures" is ridiculous. It's natural that certain members of your squad will want to remain in Super League and therefore find deals elsewhere. Or do you expect them so stay where they are playing part-time for London?
Also, you say you admire Leigh for saying no but then slag off Saints for being a "vulture." Surely if your club followed the example set by Leigh and said no then there'd be nothing for the "vultures" to pick at? Therefore the only blame should lie at the door of London Broncos, nobody else.
