Daniel Igbinedion is the latest Academy product to find a home in London Casney http://www.sportinglife.com/rugby-league/news/article/480/10622281/castleford-swoop-to-sign. If only the game had the foresight to plant a London team in Super League at its inception!

We are told London contribute nothing to Rugby League and of course we have sucked the life blood out of the Cumbrian game by being given all that money.

Apologies if I've missed it being mentioned but the have also signed Tuoyo Egodo from Broncos academy.

Saw both Iggy and Tuoyo play Championship 1 last season. Both are on two year contracts and I suspect they are a Cas project. Neither are the real deal yet at the moment but both have raw potential in abundance.

Dan had actually drifted away from the sport after leaving Broncos but started playing again last season at Oxford after they snaffled up one of his ex Broncos academy coaches. He improved dramatically as the season progressed and I did wonder whether Broncos,might tale a punt on him for 2017.

Always sad when our prospects head north, but the more the academy is shown as a pathway to professional sport the better the calibre of the intake will be.
