I have no problem of us being a feeder club for any club



at least the conveyer belt is working in our area that can be said



we will reap awards soon if it carries on as we are doing. have faith

Exactly, Wakefield as an area has always produced plenty of RL talent and always will. Same can be said about other RL hotbeds like Hull & Wigan but Huddersfield dont have this luxury so have to look in our area for the youngster. The trick is for us to have first pick on the young RL conveyer belt the Wakefield area produces and I think the new set up is trying to achieve this goal.

Oh well -- that still leaves McGillvary.

Double zing!

Sharp was the coach- you really think he goes off scouting or do other people bring these lads to the attention of the club as decent prospects. Only this week lunty commented on how much he owed riding for bringing him to the giants.

Kirmonds agent contacted Hudds looking for a deal. www.therfl.co.uk/news/article/9251 Whats your excuse with Cudjoe????? Have you a link to the Lunty comments --- it may save some of your embarrassment.

Cudjoe and McGilvray were at the club before Pete Riding was.

All seems a fairly spurious argument in the case of Joe Walker as to whether Huddersfield have' plundered ' him from the Wildcats .



Joe played stand off in a half back partnership with my nephew ,in the Bradford service area team and was originally on scholarship with the Bulls ..so you could argue that the Wildcats 'plundered' him after another pro club had done much of his early development work.

Jools



I will give a for instance at my lads age level there has been only three or four teams within the Wakefield area (cas included)that have managed to compete with each other, all others have fallen way behind over the last two seasons there hasn't been a team at his level in the Huddersfield or hull that can even compete against the best of Wakefield.



now that's not saying that you might not have a starlet in the making but goes to show that over all more players are being developed over this way.



you only have to look at your academy and see where the players come from to get the full picture



its not going to be possible to keep hold of all academy players and some will have to move on, this will also be due to the age limit in the reserves



come back in a few years time when you can proudly say we didn't buy most of our players in

for that to be said it must mean that the bulls are starting to lag behind as well



I bet you wish the Burgess family had still a few more lads down the line
