Our academies have been in place for about 10 years, Rich. They were set up under Tony Chambers, long before our present millionaire arrived.

Attacking other clubs in this fashion is unprofessional.
Smacks of desperation on the club's part to be honest - when there's no need given that they're a shoe in. Widnes are making the right noises but hopefully it won't turn into sloppy slurping noises come January 2011.
That’s a tad defencive, isn’t it?

This is a massive exaggeration of what is actually being said. What part of :
"Our policy of investing in youth, whilst opponents are only concentrating on a First team, was potentially risky" could you possibly disagree with, and how is it an ‘ATTACK’ on other clubs?
It is pointing out the difference between us and the rest. It’s costing the club a lot of time, money and effort and it is beginning to pay dividends, why in the hell shouldn’t the club crow about it?
Not desperation but PRIDE!
