Thank you for the reply.
Not sure I agree expansion of the grass roots takes 20 years. Close to home Sheffield are 36 years on with little expanded?
Doncaster is a soccer town and nothing's expanded there since RL turned up in 1952
Les Catalans are on year 14 and are more an English team than ever
London are 40 years young and have some player development
Workington have gone 73 years losing over 9,000 speccies and scores of amateur players in the process
The answer is stability and you get that best (not perfect even then) along the M62.............

I think you'll find London have a bit more than "some player developement", it's something Mr Hughes decided early on was important and has never abandoned, who knows, Covid may force him too, but I reckon if it was, he'd restart it again asap as it's clealy something he values."Jonah Verella, Josh Hodson, Will Blakemore, Rob Oakley and Jacob Jones have all signed first team contracts with the club and will join the first team set up for pre-season training in November.
The signing of these five players takes the home-grown element of the Broncos first team squad to around 70%, which is something Ward is immensely proud of."
yes let's hope more and more........
