Quote: vastman "The 2000 Academy team led by John Harbin must be one of the most fruitful ever. Wonder when we will next see such riches, fingers crossed soon.

Ellis (one of the best players in the world)

Brough (imo the best H/B and possibly player in SL)

Westwood (International)

Feather
Mason
Snitch..... all SL players

Handforth
Spicer
Batty
Wray
Haughy....all had good careers

may be a few I've forgotten. Unlike the 2009 team they didn't actually win the Academy but it will be interesting to see if the 2009 team spawns as many careers.'"


What would it cost to buy that lot back? Difficult job scouting young players gaging whether they will develop physically and mentally or whether the big ones wont be as good when the lads the same age catch up! Ellis being a skinny, small half back turning into a big powerful back rower..

Brough is interesting too, having been released a couple of times and now possibly the best in SL.

Some scouts just have that knack of picking em like the chap that got Alan Shearer who got many more..

Some coaches also see potential beyond the kids years or ability but at the end of the day its down to opinions and if you get it right - Your a tactical genius and if you get it wrong - Your a fool

We have some good uns now lets icon_razz.gifRAY: for many more

It would certainly have been interesting to watch the rivalry between these two squads of players develop had we been able to keep the core of that team at Trinity

Blaymire Mathers
Mason Bailey
Brough Burrow
Ellis McGuire
Westwood JJB

Quote: The Clan "Pretty sure Ben Westwood was part of that squad but maybe he didn't play in the final'"


He doesnt feature in the programme at all. He had played a SL game by then though I think.

It was at Headingley, a bit strange considering Leeds were playing, Leeds got all sorts of decisions in their favour in the first 40 minutes.

Quote: vastman "I didn't realise Blaymire was part of that team always thought he came earlier, that makes it even more special.'"
