The oddest thing was signing him up for three (?) years earlier this year given that nobody seems to have shown much faith in him at all.

very few players have left leeds and gone on to be better players but the ones that did have had to because better players blocked their path
moving to the lower leagues didn't hurt gale or mcshane and even after this loan has finished he is still a leeds player so if he is ripping it up at bradford then a chance at leeds might come

That's all very well, but the more likely reading of this is that Leeds just don't rate him now, and have to pay some of his contract because he'd be on more than the Bulls could pay. They are still able to hedge their bets in case he comes good, but he's played over 40 games and this is his 4th season. You'd think he'd be showing enough to be kept in the top 25 if they really thought he was going to make it.

Like I say the weirdest thing is the reasoning behind gibing him a 3 year deal, then not playing him, and now sending him off for a year at least - who made the calls and what's changed?

This maybe explains the reasons behind the move

Very honest interview. Whatever anyone thinks of his ability and potential, the current system badly let’s players down like him not being able to play regular games at some level. The same is true of many 19s lads too.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

Al the more reason to have a proper reserve competition where they can play week in week out.

A very revealing interview, thought he was going to properly unload at one point but did well to remain professional.

Cant help but feel we have completely screwed up with Jordan and his development. Time may tell but theres a good player in there, with the right environment and more importantly coaching I think we may yet see it, although maybe not with Leeds.

Good luck to the lad.

At least he'd lose his virginity.

Personally, I don't think we can sustain another level of competition. I'd just scrap the u19s, and just have a reserve competition.

DR was supposed to solve all this, but since its never been implemented properly from the start its leaving a yawning gap between U19s and SL. The Championship was supposed to become the de facto reserve grade (but cheaper because SL clubs would only have to fund those players they rated) but that only made sense under a franchising system. I understand the issue with financing a reserve grade, but the current system simply isn't working.

There isn't an issue with financing a reserve grade. Every club in Super League but one wants it.
