Shamelessly nicked from a thread on the VT

According to RFL figures on 'club trained' players (apparently), defining club trained as players on the club's register who were trained by the club for three years before before reaching 21.

Saints 14
Leeds 13
Hull with 13
Wigan have 11
Bradford 10
Warrington 10
Castleford 7
Catalans 6
Quins 5
Wakefield 5
Salford 5
Huddersfield 4
Hull KR 1
Celtic 0

The Wakefield one is wrong!

Matt Blaymire was club trained and was in our Academy, whilst for some reason Southernwood is missed off altogether.

So we are the same as you 7.

This is in our 25, we actually have 12 in our full first team squad.

Indeed- I should have made that clear: the RFL is only counting the 25

Nope you are wrong (Obst style )

Trinity Academy - Coogee Dolphins - York - Trinity.

He comes from Leeds but that is about it.

That's ok, we usually believe the opposite of what you say to be true anyway.

i'm confused as we have a 29 man squad and 12 of them are/have come through the castleford ranks - could argueand you could say that another 3 are local lads - fordo, ferres and hudson.

so i am interested to know how these statistics have been compiled!!!

Is Hudson from Cas? I thought he was from Rothwell in Leeds and played for Stanley Rangers as a kid.
