Shamelessly nicked from a thread on the VT

According to RFL figures on 'club trained' players (apparently), defining club trained as players on the club's register who were trained by the club for three years before before reaching 21.

Saints 14
Leeds 13
Hull with 13
Wigan have 11
Bradford 10
Warrington 10
Castleford 7
Catalans 6
Quins 5
Wakefield 5
Salford 5
Huddersfield 4
Hull KR 1
Celtic 0

great stuff to see quins n catalans where they are - very das for hull kr and hudds - could even say wakey!

But for relegation twice, I dare say we'd have more home grown within our ranks.........

well if you think about it.....no relegation, we would probably still have

A Lynch
W Godwin
T Saxton??

and maybe a few others

Danny Orr is one off top of my head too

Though tbf he left for the lure of a GB shirt at W*gan (Ha!) long before our first relegation.

well you could be right, im gunna look that up, but i was sure he played in 2004, but i may be wrong

yes your right lol

Or maybe not

You might not have ' blooded ' some of your youngsters if you had not been relegated

Plus when Westerman or one of the others jumps ship to a ' big ' club I'm sure you will all be very happy for him

This is in our 25, we actually have 12 in our full first team squad.

The Wakefield one is wrong!

Matt Blaymire was club trained and was in our Academy, whilst for some reason Southernwood is missed off altogether.

So we are the same as you 7.

I thought Blaymire was at Leeds.

Indeed- I should have made that clear: the RFL is only counting the 25

Nope you are wrong (Obst style

)

Trinity Academy - Coogee Dolphins - York - Trinity.

He comes from Leeds but that is about it.

That's ok, we usually believe the opposite of what you say to be true anyway.

I know and that's where you go wrong.

But shouldn't you have said "I know and that's where you're RIGHT"

i'm confused as we have a 29 man squad and 12 of them are/have come through the castleford ranks - could argueand you could say that another 3 are local lads - fordo, ferres and hudson.

so i am interested to know how these statistics have been compiled!!!

Is Hudson from Cas? I thought he was from Rothwell in Leeds and played for Stanley Rangers as a kid.

ill back you on this vastman just this once hudson was indeed from rothwell.

hence why i said local lads!
