Academies are about developing players for 1st team rugby - it's not all about results.


Correct. Results mean nothing of none of the players are good enough to make first grade

Well I’m a Leigh fan and our community game far out-weighs any academy.. The reality of academies demise the sport.

What you think could be built, has already been built.

There are what, 2 community clubs in Leigh? Miners and east?

There are about 10 in Newcastle.

Maybe that’s why they got a licence and Leigh didn’t?

Miners and East are productive lines to first teams. Having 10 in Newcastle with only one prominent team will be difficult. The eyes will be watching.

I doubt vey much the caliber of the 10 meet the standards of Rangers and East. But time will tell.

Your being wound up but of course you know that.

Everyone holds out great hopes for Newcastle RLFC but even a multi-millionaire can't develop quality RL players if the conditions are not right.

Leigh are a valuable part of the dyed in the wool RL area of Lancashire, and have been for many years.

Newcastle set out to create a new Rugby League stronghold and a superleague club as long ago as 1999.

Leigh has been a stronghold since 1878........................

Playing with stats is easy. Fact is the number of RL fans and RL players per head of population in Leigh is massively much much bigger than in Newcastle and always will be.

Newcastle are doing a great job of building things up from the grassroots. They ought to be applauded. Who knows where they might be in the future.

No they did NOT.
The Gateshead Council and the RFL appointed a rugby league development officer....Mick Hogan.
Gateshead Thunder were formed and catapulted into Super League.
After 1 season they merged/were taken over by Hull FC.
They currently play at the rugby union home of Newcastle Falcons.
