The lack of young players coming through does explain some of the behaviour of SL clubs; the underhand way they scout and obtain signatures of young players, including from from outside their catchment, and as you say, hoarding the ones who look to have potential - it's simple economics isn't it; scarcity produces value.

The real problem is in supply - and the only way to fix that is to completely overhaul the junior game, in schools and at community clubs; and the only way to fix that is for a RL programme for young players to be designed, implemented and managed by a significantly more professional and qualified people than is currently the case. If nothing changes, it will only get worse, and we'll end up with even more sub-par antipods padding out teams, and even fewer academy programmes at SL clubs. The game is dependent on a supply of well prepared, talented and skilled young players coming through the system and at present, we just don't have the right conditions for that to happen in any reliable way.


Far too sensible!

I dont think it was Wakefields situation that was being discussed really, it's more to do with whether it's right for clubs' to have joint academies and how we increase junior participation.
If by pooling resources, clus's can improve the numbers and quality of juniors the, that would be excellent.
however, if joint academies are being set up as a cost saving measure and reducing the numbers of youngsters then ,clearly, that would be wrong.

There are half a dozen or so scouts who voluntarily give time to watch youth games around the area plus the great work that Richard , Stevo and their staff do to hopefully get the kids down to Wakefield and continue to drip feed them , hopefully, into the first team in years to come. The improvements can be seen already in the youth set up, and long may it continue. :thumb:
