I'd love to know the reason why we have never played Leeds at home at academy level for about four or five years?

Desperate for them to catch up to ours and saints academies. They’re levels off

You do realise that Leeds won the academy grand final last year!

Thought our academy were poor last season, though this was partially due to the better players being used in the reserves which should be beneficial to their development.

Do u reckon that has anything to do with all our prospects being in the reserves that went unbeaten. Oldest player in the reserves was Ramon silva . Stick all of them in the academy side and we would have walked it

The reserves and academy fixtures don't clash most teams played their academy players in the reserves., the likes of Hanley, Halsall etc were too old for the academy team which had reverted to U18 last season.
