Look at the long term
, these academy kids are not ready and we can get much better value for money from overseas players.
Give the academy players 2 years to progress and learn from these expierenced players, whilst the first team keep on improving and then we can start to drip feed these english players into the side.
Players that come from the area and support the club are more likely to put more in, so its a short term view if we think where going to have a team full of aussies in the future.
It takes time so our medium - long term plan is to have english players from our area playing in their team. Cant be done with a drop of a hat. Then the introduction of a new stadium, wakefield based players with quality around them. The futures bright......
