We are in a sad state when we have to stop are youth development. As a money saving action I cannot get my head round the fact that when a lad hits 19/20 years of age if he is not super league (Wigan )quality he is lost to the club.
Have the Australians done this?
Reading about rugby league at this moment in time is so depressing. The site should have the Samaritans phone number on it.

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
