James Donaldson is seen as a 13 by himself and the club.

Fair enough, I stand corrected

Interesting read here. Interesting extract too: James Donaldson wrote: Donaldson added: “We’ve got an awesome Academy here and everyone will see that soon. “Steve has been amazing for me and I’ve come on so much because of him. “It was nice to get out there and show what Bradford have taught me.” . Taking that at face value, might be a bit of an inconvenient truth for a few on here?

Interesting quote here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 159033.stm Fifteen home-grown players took the field in the defeat by Wigan on Sunday, including 17-year-old James Donaldson who scored his first try for the club in only his second appearance. Is that right? Impressive if it is.

Bradford: Halley, Sheriffe, Menzies, Nero, Platt, Sykes, Deacon, Lynch, Newton, Scruton, Whitehead, Worrincy, Langley.
Replacements: Burgess, Godwin, Donaldson, Cook.

Bold=home grown?
So I make that 9. Have I missed some? Where have they got 15 from?

Ah, that makes sense.
Whatever happened to the New Zealand Bulls?
