The players listed below were all considered good enough for selection in our first team squad for last season. Other than Southernwood who left to join the Bulls, are these players no longer equipped to make it at Superleague level?
Doesn't really say a lot for our youth development given that we have basicaaly signed mainly academy players from Lancashire clubs whom these lads were beating the previous year!!!


22. Cain Southernwood
26. Matthew Wildie
27. Russell Spiers
28. Kyle Trout
29. Matthew King
30. Danny Cowling

Just like Gledhill..?

What happened at cas with Gledhill was just one of those things, were we right to let him go i don't know. Very much like Liam watts at hull kr (who the club were deffinatly right to let go at the time). Please dont think i have put this post to look for an arugument, I was just asking a question if people think Wakey are doing enough with youth development as to an outsider looking in there does not seem to be too many youngsters coming through the system there.

Correct but the point is there are several lads who were on the Wakefield Scholarship, but Wakefield could not retain them, which is the problem.

Same thing as the Academy Internationals, a pattern is forming.

Is it because of money or that they can't see a pathway to the first team?

Probably both.
