Quote af="af"Hasn't always been the case. And while Leeds' good fortune to be the sole representatives in Super League of a large and affluent city (and sharing it with one feeble soccer club) does give them chance to invest, other clubs aren't n those circumstances and so face more of a struggle to build an equivalent scouting system. And this is before you get into service areas etc.
Much can be done with hard work, but not every club has the same flat track in front of them.'"
It wasn’t a flat track, it would be misleading to level of almost lying to say it was,
It was difficult, 2002 and 2003 were difficult years at the top for leeds, the fans weren’t behind this plan, it wasn’t easy, and it isnt easy to keep it up, it wasn’t easy when Bradford did it nor when st Helens did it,
