| I don’t mind the Dudley Hill colours really. Nice little ground too. I’d not been until we started having regular academy games there. I’ll be back to watch them if the Bulls go t1ts up.

| I imagine it's the history of their own club not being allowed to go to the wall but others having to do so in order to pay for it.

Im sure we play in blue and gold and the Whinos are primrose and yellow! nothing like being pedantic! We have hit a bit of form actually, few of our lads played academy in their youth. Did have Dave Halley playing last year on off but he plays football now. Waste of talent I actually played with him this last weekend in a 9s tournament down at the club he still would do a job for Hill. The conference league is a really competitive league and some fantastic teams and littered with ex pros, even the infamous John McAtee has turned out again for Eccles (Salford) this year

Primrose is yellow. You're thinking of Wire who are Primrose and Blue.
Leeds are officially Blue & Amber I believe, although our Amber looks orange and their Amber looks yellow. Which I've never really worked out.

| Nobody plays in red either but you can choose from cherry, vermilion or claret on the proviso that your choice of cherry, vermilion or claret looks nothing like any body else's cherry, vermilion or claret.
If we're still around to sponsor a player next year we should have our name read out in hex triplets.
#FF0000
#FFFB00
#000000
It's the only thing that makes sense.
Pantone approved!

Haha you're not on your own in in getting Leeds' colours wrong, I've spoken to Rhino fans who think they play in blue and gold - despite their match day magazine being called 'blue and amber' at the time.
I think I'm right in saying that Leeds united play in blue and gold....which maybe gives an idea about where those particular fans turned up from!

| I played down at Dudley Hill for a few years as a junior/open age, so I'd probably start going back down there to watch again.
On the subject of the colours, while I was still there they gave away a lot of the old shirts when the kits changed. The ones I got were way too big for me so I gave them to my Dad. One morning he was out doing a delivery to the Woodlands down Oakenshaw when he was asked if it was a Rhinos shirt he was wearing. He turned round at it was Big Les asking him! I guess he lived down that street where the Club used to own those houses.

He was a character Les, used to have many a night with the lads in walkabout and les, big joe shontayne etc were in there! them were the days! We used to have Shontaynes brother Jarrod playing for us a few years back he could bang with the best of them! It was always good when family of bulls players ended up playing local amateur rugby. From school I played a bit at sedbergh in the second team, Vaikona's brother Wes was there, and Robbie and Henrys cousin called Reece came over for a bit. Bulls used to have a big presence in the amateur scene at one point and it died down massively. Dont know about other clubs but we are heavily involved with the bulls foundation now it just shows more hard work has gone on behind the scenes getting good ties with more amateur clubs than just mainly West Bowling to give themselves the pick of the juniors which will stand the academy in good stead in the future, which also goes to show how much work has gone into the academy and even more of a shame if anything serious does happen

| John Bastian and his team have really done well in this regard. I could never understand why we had such an on/off relationship with the Bradford community clubs over the years. It did seem to ebb and flow.

Definitely there seemed to be a good connection with Bowling only, even going back a couple of friends of mine were made to leave us to go to Bowling or Clayton by the scholarship programme. John Bateman was even told to go to Siddal as he was playing a year above (and still the stand out junior in the country) but lasted 2-3 games and said sod this i'm back off to play with my mates! Its great to see the relationships getting stronger and like you say Bastian has a lot to answer to. Also another lad i Know who played this last weekend in the 9s tournament works at the Bulls part time and helps with academy and youve probably seen him on gamedays helping the first team with warm ups etc he says Leigh Beattie is also very well respected and will grow to be a very good coach

| FWIW, when I'm off researching use of statistics in sports and especially rugby league I am forever bumping into Leigh Beattie's name. I believe he is either a recent graduate of a PhD on the subject or is about to very soon become one.

To be fair not a lot wrong with that comment, they have superbly run a lot of junior sides for years. Out of interest apart from the obvious one being Elliott Whitehead and then theres your lad, how many bowling juniors are currently playing pro?

| The problem has always been the number of junior clubs in our area. A great success story is Keighley Albion which now has over 300 kids across all age groups. Running 2 teams at the 14's & 15's ages. 5 years ago they had less than 30 kids. John Bastian has been out to have a look 2-3 times this year already.

Oh I know pal  was just interested, im not surprised the bulls wanted the players at bowling as they were the best sides at the time, one of my pals was sent from hill to play in the side with Elliott Whitehead as he was in the academy with him sam burgess, etc. It wasnt a jibe back asking how many bowling juniors were in pro game mate was genuinely interested. We have finally got our act together in regards juniors hopefully we will see it come to fruition in the future.

| It can be a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy though. If you only scout from one team you only pick up lads from one team for your academy. Remember being connected to Queensbury U16's and went through the season winning every match in the top division and the cup. Only scout we saw all year was from Salford and that was because we were playing Saddleworth Moor in the cup. Redeverready may remember as his nephew played for them at the time I believe.

| Didn't the Bulls finish all of their scouts a while back. Bit difficult if there's nobody there to do it.

That's true the club was up Dudley Hill backside so much that year was a joke trying to get John Bateman to sign were bringing all his mates to training too.
