you know next years player rostas for every club?

you need to start a betting ring...

It is highly unlikely that any other team (barring crusaders) is going to play more than 9 overseas players would you not agree. I would be quite confident betting that this was the case in fact.

Commendable, but I'd swap that stat for league points. I'm assuming that's my club's intention.

Well after this year I guess the only way is up! You can model yourself on Crusaders and call yourselves the Manc Aussies.

I dont like it when people just list random british kids who have made the 1st team squad and have played like 2 sub appearences.

Saints, Leeds and Wigan are the only clubs imo, who can point to a successful academy, year on year.

Leeds?? Why does everyone have this pre-conception that Leeds have a good academy? It's a myth! They finished 10th out of 13 last year.

Elima and Dowes to be announced as Bulls in the next couple of weeks.

Pryce & Fielden once the season is done and dusted

Because it produces international players, rather than winning some tinpot academy trophies that no-one cares about.

The "Wakeford Home-Growns" has a better ring to it...

Well if we go on quality, not quantity, then the academy which produced the England captain and the best player England have had in years deserves more credit.
