Problem is as far as I'm aware that the RFL are encouraging Chanmpionship Clubs to become 'feeder' clubs to the SL teams, therefore throwing out decades of local boys making it in their local teams and therefore the interest/town pride that that and the following it brings out in one foul swoop.
Hate to keep banging on about it but our reserve team which is 90% locally produced /linked under these plans would go to the wall in favour of Bradford brought in boys who have no lifetime allegiance/ loyalty to our club like our current reserves.
Jez , Dean , ad others in the past have put in place a framework that is bringing quality young players to the club , why should we forego that because our more illustrious neighbours want a slice of it .??
