Makes us the only Sl team out of the current 12 not to reach a final during the SL era. I bet that’s a stat IMG will be interested in.

They’ve spent big and gone for it. Shows you the poor standard of RL at the moment particularly the so called big clubs. Heard we will be in a position to spend big so we might have that luxury plus an already made academy system.

Up the Trin

I think you'll find we have, without Beaumonts money.
Now hopefully with Ellis's money we can build a first team too.

I find it hard but I agree with PT because Leigh do not operate like the majority of SL clubs because they have invested all their money on the first team by not operating a reserves for example. It should be a level playing field in SL that is you must run teams below the first and not just say you will and then postpone all fixtures because you can’t raise a team.

Well don’t decline us (not you personally ) an academy then if you want a level playing field, out of curiosity (I genuinely do not know) do a lot of your academy players make up the reserves

Not quite correct. I looked it up on Google

The current funding model sees every academy receive around £100,000 of base funding, with a reward on top of that depending on how productive the academy is. Clubs then had to match that funding, which didn't include player wages. Finney estimated that Widnes' academy was costing around £450,000 a year to run.

And you believe that the money from the club goes on the Academy?

It used to all come in as one net payment, along with your SKY money, with any agreed deductions taken off.

They didnt used to, and it wouldnt surprise me if that is still the case

Just watching the first half Batley v York, Danny Kirmond for York, Holley, Morton and Josh Wood for Batley. 14 nil half time, to Batley, a bit scrappy with an indisciplined York not performing at all.

What's the opinions on those 2 tackles (if you can call them tackles) in yesterday's match on Walmsley and Pasai, personally think they are downright dangerous and career threatening.
Be interesting to see what the disciplinary think.
