It’s not it’s because they didn’t want more than two academies outside super league

I didn't see that reason anywhere

Has that reason been published by the RFL or is it a guess?

An explanation has been sent to each unsuccessful application.

I know it has. Has that reasoning then been declared as to why Bradford failed or is just a guess?

It was in the original blurb but the club were confident on the strength of the academy. The club are making representations based on the fact there are two licences available that haven’t been issued.

I have suggested comparing notes. That way you have your answer.

You've barely produced any players since 2014 anyway.

Since when did The RFL care about that exactly ?

Bradford haven't mentioned it. They said they hadn't received it yet.

The RFL haven't mentioned it (that I can see) which is why I'm wondering where it's come from.

IF it is the case then I can see why Bradford would be peed off.

It states. Clubs whose applications were unsuccessful have been provided with an explanation, and advised that they will be able to reapply in 2024.
