Quote ="Finfin"Leeds' development record may look good on paper but since the "golden generation" of McGuire / Sinfield / Burrow / JJB / Calderwood / Diskin / Bailey / Mathers etc. all came through at roughly the same time quite a few years ago, only Lee Smith and Hall have established themselves as regulars.'"
But none of those players are particular old, and still have a good few years left at Leeds yet. They have current players like Ablett, Kirke, Burgess all regularly playing first team. As well as a couple out on loan who are going to become first team regular like BJB.
Leeds are as good as anyone with their academy. Thats why they've been at the top for so long. Same with Saints. Thats where we are heading hopefully.
