SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

There have been many discussions on the VT as to who is reponsible for player production
The general concencus was they have to have come through your scholarship 12 yrd old for you to claim them
Not my rules

It takes time to develop your own players they have started a youth setup and are bringing some reasonable young players on. The timescale for youth development is sign a young player at say 15 years old it takes 5 years to get him to the reserve team unless he is an outstanding talent you are talking on average 6 years to bring a player through. The Big clubs are signing youngsters at 12 or 13 years old. Give the club a chance its still growing how long has Catalan been going now 6 or 7 years and they are not full of French players are they. Most of the Rugby league clubs have been going over 100 years. Even London has been going 12 years and how many Londoners are there in that side. In 3 or 4 years time Celtic will be a top 6 Super League club give them chance to grow.
They have been going 30 years
HTH

Does it even matter whether we also convert Union boys such as Ben Flower?
Warrington CONVERTED Kevin Ellis and Alan Bateman (both from Bridgend CB) and RL also CONVERTED John Devereux (Bridgend CB) Scott Quinnell and Jonathan Davies.
We PRODUCE rugby players. Whether they switch codes later on is neither here nor there.
There is a name for what you do Starbug. They call it Thatcher's Blame.
It means we are damned in your eyes WHATEVER we do. You decide you hate us then squeeze the facts in to suit your preconceptions.
I KNOW your club didn't get into SL, but do you relly have to spend every waking moment having a pop at us? What if it WASN'T us who took "your" spot? What if it was Salford?
Amatuer clubs produce players , you give them somewhere to play for money

I am a fan of all clubs be they Leeds Whino's or Blackpool Scorpions , or any other clubs , I also have the greatest respect for any fan willing to put in money and time following their club
As for the people at the top tipping 1,000 s of pounds in , I have a huge amount of time for them , as I once was that person
As for the buffoons running our sport ? , well
