At any level that is always a great thing to see.

Just for fun - players who have come through the Wakefield College Development Centre, include (without necessarily claiming credit for the outcome); Annakin, Ferguson, Croft, Aydin, Batchelor, Hardaker, Massey, Dawson-Smith, Griffin (Josh), Harry Carter (York)...there's loads over the years.

The Wakefield College team is the most successful college set up of the last 15 years - no other college team gets near.

The first coach was Pete Riding...followed by Mick Bamford, James Ford and Mark Applegarth.

I feel like I have posted this before, so apologies if so.

I think its great personally gives chances to the lads who maybe hadnt fully developed or been missed and even gives the academy lads some game time over the winter while there wouldnt be academy rugby.

Been told the first half of todays game is on you tube

Looks to me like it produces as many players as the actual academy. It’s clearly something we need to make more of a song and a dance about, sounds a real success story.

It goes much further than that.

Typically, they are in at 7am...do their S&C programme...have breakfast provided...do formal classes (Sports Science/Sports Performance)...followed by training at BV on the evening.

They are basically in a FT environment and given every chance to make the leap to the pro game.

Applegarth is the next James Ford IMO. He'll be a Head Coach...assuming he wants that.

I think the two things are linked.

It's good for everyone - players get the best chance at being pro - those missing out get an employable background qual.

It's definitely been productive for Wakefield. It's no coincidence that other colleges/clubs are copying the model.

Wakefield College was the FIRST college to have a Rugby League Development Centre (College Academy).

Yes i have said many times about mash i seen hiw he works.dont like to say it but my lad does play for the collage team
