dead right! Paddy Handley looks like becoming a great understudy for
Deryck Fox. But there's some great talemnt coming through the ranks at
Rovers as well, check outy Ty Fallins, Lee Jackson and Jamie Stokes for
instance

Yeh, I've got to agree with you. As soon as we bring some players through from
Academy to Alliance to SL, we go and sell them. Surely this is a waste of having
a youth policy. Also they can't be bad players, both the Alliance and Academy
teams have been doing exceptionally well in the past couple of seasons, much
better than the first team. :-)

COuldn't agree more. Maher is class. So is Handley. I've just heard
we've lost Matt Shultz as well. What's deano doing. He could have sold
Holroyd for twice the price that he got for these 3 (and Gleadhill) and
after that he'd have 3 good players left instead of 1 shit one.

I just don't understand Bell, Maher played a blinder when he came into
the first team this season, IMO pound for pound he's ahead of St. Hilaire.

Shultz is another good player (shades of Paul Anderson once more).

I particularly liked his decision last season to sell James Lowes and
then place his only obvious replacement (Shaw - another good player) in
the reserve grade, then playing an out-of-his-depth second rower (Newton)
at number 9.

The bloke is nuts!!

Agreed, though there is another way of looking at it. The academy costs money to run. ALot of money, not just in wages and stuff. If=
some players are brought through that aren't good enough for SL, then they should be sold, therfore the youth system pays for itsel=
f, and we can keep on bringing players of the calibre of Cummins and Morley through. See what I mean. After all, if we do eventually=
sell Mick Shaw, we could get about =A350,000+ for him, which easily pays for the academy system. Its a harsh world, but everything =
that is spent has to be recouped somehow. Look at teh amount of young players that Leeds have sold off that have actually made it. A=
ll I can think of is Jon Scales at the Bulls. Compare it with the list of those that haven't. Paul Cook (prime example) Paul Anderso=
n, Darren Hughes, Gareth Stephens, Martin Law,....and you can see that sometimes, the coaches DO actually know what they are doing.

Of course this is just a general point. I still say that we shouldn't have sold Handley and Maher cos they ARE good.
