A more competitive SL. Everyone's a winner. Well not everyone but you get my drift. Leeds are there to be knocked off their perch, right?

Ha, perch - good one.

Disparage not thee.



Anyways, there'd be no available accommodation anywhere along the East Yorkshire coastline.
It's full to the top with delightful Wezzylanders who used 't'cum fa day', but have now 'cum fa gud.'

About half as much as you lot I suspect!

Some pretty weak efforts here but this is a good one

Cod only knows.

Probably not the time nor plaice to discuss it tho....

Have Leeds paid HMRC what they owe for their image rights payments yet?

Yes

Have wigan signed singleton yet ha ha ?

Not that I am aware of, I don't recall ever saying that they had, I just asked a question.

Valerie ?

The accounts are a matter of public record. Do your own research.

When did Wigan last win the Grand final - lol

The year end numbers can be down loaded from Companies House. It's not possible to see the breakdown of these or what individual accounting entries have been made.

It was an invalid response

Is Leeds youth production system still doomed?

Thankfully it appears to be improving, however it's still won nowt at that level for about six years (or more)

Well, off the top of my head, I would suggest that this year's Grand Final winning team had at least four players who emerged from the Leeds Academy within those last 6 years. It's five if you ignore Ablett's 1 off appearance in 2004 (didn't appear again for Leeds firsts until 2006).

That's just the Grand Final 17. There will have been many other Academy debutant's in those last six years that have contributed to Leeds five title successes in that period.

Isn't that what a production line is supposed to do and isn't that more important than any trophies won at junior level?

It is indeed, but I don't think four in six years is a particularly good return on investment, do you?

This is going to be fun...

There's a lot to be said about winning a grand final.Its months and months before they have a chance to have a proper go at us.It a great off season feeling.they who laugh last spring to mind.I do hope this is not a prelude for pie invasion

Better Return than yours at Super League Level

Too right (as you may note from the stars up there ^ ) [iwe're all about the five in six years[/i







And as for our youth team. It's producing enough talent for us to have an unprecedented period of dominance in the salary capped era so I don't think you need to be worrying

Four what? It's five titles in six years.

It's 4 players in the GF 17 from this year, not four in 6 years. Four in 17 is a damn good retrun. Also, you've ignored the many other debutants we've rpoduced in those 6 years that weren't in the GF 17. Another lad debuted this year who played in a Challenge Cup Final.

You see, standards are a little bit higher here at Headingley because in addition to those 4 in the 17 there were 6 others that have come through our Academy in that 17. When you are winning six titles in 9 years rather than just the one, with a settled team, 1st team jerseys can be a little harder to come by.
