You miss the point, but never mind. Let's try again. When Wigan or Saints bring a player into the first team they invariably slot in, their systems have them all being coached to the same tune and gently broken in to the first team. The point being made about Leeds was that they don't, they don't because they aren't good enough or the conveyer has stalled and they don't roll in seamlessly.

It was brought up in post match analysis. Leeds don't seem to have got the bringing through of academy players on track.

Wrong way around, you were saying the league is littered with their academy players, players not ready yet, a conveyer belt churns out a steady stream, no gaps, that is the whole point. So the conveyer has a fault, it produces gaps. A good conveyer is seamless. Either the Leeds conveyer has holes in were the product keeps falling through or there isn't enough input to keep a steady flow.

So why the sudden "record" spending splurge? Smith has had two years to stop losing the best academy players if they have so many great youngsters, why hasn't it happened?

No

But the whole idea of a conveyor belt is you keep feeding it. Clubs like Wigan and Saints churn out so many players they have to let them go and that feeds other clubs, losing players to the Aussies is shrugged off as the next one fall off the conveyor belt. It seems that Leeds had a lucky run back in the day but don't understand how to keep the process moving by providing opportunities to quantities of players.

They were all chanting OM

What happened to Leeds conveyor belt of talent, or was it just a myth?

What have you got against U9s throwing insults like that at them.

That was a painful 40mins to watch.
