Report on Bet Fred Super League website doesn't look very positive for Wakefield. Everybody bar us either outstanding or Good! Any info from those in the know?
The explanation seemed pretty clear. We're doing some good things and making progress but there are ways we're been massively held back like facilities.
Assuming the facilities and possibly losing the academy chief has gone against us this year, from memory was a good last year. little wrong with the production line at the moment and the promise of home grown half back to come through.
When you consider where we were in 2015 then we are doing ok. Can't have been the top of the list when the new BOD took over. As it mainly pinpoints facilities then it's not hard to see their reasoning.
At the end of the day if we were to go on and produce 2 players a season that's not bad. we had TJ, MJ and JD in 2015 and Batchelor 2016 so we are roughly on track.Expect to see a few others given a run either at the end of this season if we drop out of contention and certainly in the pre-season friendlies.
Some clubs sight everything going and still don't produce much more than we do.

Facilities is the massive thing for us, not just the academy but the first team also, if we had everything under one roof at a nice stadium and run the academy like we are doing, I'm sure that we wouldn't be far off top of the ratings.
