Would buy more if I could!

I'm sure you will get the chance to buy more come next April.

Could have fitted into a few threads tbh https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/ ... gby-league

It’s pleasing to see that instead of moaning about how unfair it all is Mike Eccles is just going to get on with things on the playing/ training side of things.
One thing does bug me from the article, having a strong academy apparently counts for nothing according to IMG.
Seems very wrong to me.

The Broncos claim our academy is relatively well funded but on the field they only won one game last season (against Newcastle Thunder who lost every game) with the scholarship side losing every game heavily. So even if IMG did give points for the academy we wouldn't be getting much if based on results.

Maybe so, but look at the number of players produced by our academy playing in our first team, other Championship sides and indeed Superleague ones.
Must be doing something right, no?

Is it more than other clubs though. They must all come from somewhere. I think the academy has provided a decent source of players for championship level though.
