You have to be allowed to run an academy first, I understand Leigh are working to have structures in place for next septembers academic intake to participate in 2018 fixtures. Working with Leigh college, which is 50m from LSV, to ensure education and apprenticeships are core to kids wishing to become pro RL players

That's off the top of my head, but theoretically all SL clubs have an Academy except for Salford.


I already said which clubs didn't run them.

Leigh don't have their own, neither do Hull or Salford. Not good enough. We also need a proper U23's.

A quarter of SL clubs won't run their own academy next year. Nor will the club who got relegated.

The quota actually went up with the introduction of the new system whereas the number of academies went down.

Re: Time for a Quota Cut ? : Wed Nov 30, 2016 1:33 pm  
A number of posters have in my mind hit the real problem head on:- We just do not have enough people playing the game at any level a small number change in the non fed quota will make very little difference. What no one in our game has been able to do is manage the change from semi pro to full time. Nowadays young lads have to make the choice (as do clubs) to devote time & effort to a full time career or a pro rugby contract. In my day the club had us training & kept an eye on us we did not get any pay & had jobs. The big problem now is the step up to super league is to big for players of my type, there is no second team to gain experience it costs to much. We will always average Aussies as they can produce them by the plane load. It is their main sport & they don't have to fight for cash & publicity as we do. As has been posted fix the game at school & amateur, get player numbers up & make watching & following the game part of the weekend habit then all will fix its self.

Sort the game out at the bottom first. No point in reducing the quota if there are hardly any kids playing it at grassroots.

This is the thing that RL doesn't seem to be 'getting'. It has to start at the bottom with schools and junior clubs.

Indeed. We struggle to get any media interest and always will do while the media is so centralised. So we have to grow "naturally". The amateur/schools game is vital to both producing but also in producing fans, spectators and sponsors.

Whilst some good work has taken place it's still fairly limited, ploughing down the same old path and in the same (or similar) old way.
We need a revolution in the amateur and schools game both at junior and at adult level. We need adult social leagues akin to 5-a-side football but more accessible than the current (IMO) relatively poor attempts at tag rugby.

Get playing in schools. Get regular contact with clubs and players. Get proper, accessible adult leagues. Whilst obviously we need to expand the game to other areas there's still plenty of scope for growth in the "Heartlands" too.

My son has been playing for his school team in Hull for the past few weeks in a cup competition. Because they were knocked out, they don't have anymore matches this season. That to me shows the decline of RL in schools. When I was his age, we played throughout the winter season (weather permitting), were in cup and league comps and even had a 7s tournament one Saturday.
