Must have been a big ask for us to get a gig in that, must be way behind others over recent years - although I must admit I don’t know what the full criteria is

Bradford a bigger shock by far in missing out with their record

Explanation has been sent to unsuccessful clubs. Possibly all clubs should compare notes..

First game was in 1967, and have been hooked since day 1. Now live in Vancouver, Canada but follow our team any way I can.

So we were considered suitable and financial sound for SL just a few months ago,
BUT
not to run an academy, for the better future of local youth, the club and the game in general, a few months later.
What am I missing here !?!

12 places available and only 10 awarded.
And who is to say that “better opportunities” (I presume you mean proposals, than ours missed out ?)
I’ll say again, our club wanted to provided an academy for our local youth, and a women’s and girls pathway. Why deny that ?
How does that better the game ?
I would be happy for you to tell me what I’m missing, and I mean that sincerely, because I just don’t get it.

I would imagne there is only so much money in the pot to provide to elite academies, the board reviewing the applications viewed only 10 viable - location wise itself we are not in a good place with so many surrounding teams already having well set up and proven structures, plus, and I’m not sure if theTS counts be we haven’t really had and academy for many years - I wouldn’t think a lot going in our favour, the likes of Bradford, Cas and HKR seem a far more viable option.

And I’m not sure that we can’t have an academy it’s just the the RFL (or whoever) haven’t given us the funds towards it - so we pay for it ourselves

Don't get the resentment of either London or Newcastle.
What they do out in the community is unbelievable.
Even Coventry are doing more than some of the so called bigger clubs.
