Anyway speaking of Bradford, GH has a high moral standing on contracts and players/clubs should renege on them.

but there tends to be abit of a holier-than-thou attitude with respect to other clubs' youth development, when over time I'd say Sts for example have been at least as good.

I suspect some of that attitude may come from seeing other clubs sporting a healthy contingent of young players produced through the Leeds Academy system. While junior development by Leeds may not have produced half a dozen players a year for their own first team, it's done a decent job of churning out a steady stream of SL quality players who have moved on having not quite cracked it at Leeds.

Shouldn't you be asking the CEO who stated as much last night and has been actively recruiting work-in-progress future potential players to plug the gaps.

Asking him what?

Bradford were able to cancel Toupou's contract due to his inability to train with his teammates.

No they weren't.

They were able to give him 6 months notice as per the clause in the RFl's standard contract. He challenged the decision to give him notice. They reached an agreement to allow him to leave before his 6 months notice expired to take up employment elsewhere.

Its interesting that of the Leeds-developed players at other clubs, there aren't many (any?) that you'd be desperate to have back.

That's because we only keep the very best.

But that doesn't mean the ones we let go aren't good enough for super league, with lesser teams....like hull fc for example.
