Thanks for the information DaveO.
It makes no sense whatsoever for years the RFL have been going on about developing the kids and just as it seems to be working they do this. I wish I could say its unbelievable but nothing surprises me about the decisions these idiots are making. Are they deliberately trying to kill this game? I think so as nobody can be as thick as these people.

I have also heard that IL opposed the idea.

On a number of occasions Mr Youane has come on here and made this accusation against the club and never once has he provided one shred of evidence to back his claim up.

A legitimate link would be nice please if you could!

Just check back a few months and have a look who first correctly posted anywhere on these boards what was going to happen to Academy rugby this year. At that time those supposedly in the know were saying that the RFL were going to make Academies merge to reduce the number of teams.

Choose to believe whatever you want, at the end of the day I know I'm right.

(oh and Mike Rush also confirmed in RL Express that Saints and Warrington were the only clubs to vote against the proposals. I guess he's making it up as well).

Well done you
