Saint Toppy Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 49 minutes ago, Sir Kevin Sinfield said: It’s easy enough to find out which teams academy a Super League player came through. As far as I’m aware nobody has gone through and totalled up the numbers from each club, but to me it’s obvious Leeds produce more than any other club, there are Leeds academy products scattered across Super League as there are in the Championship. If its that obvious shouldn't take you long to produce the actual numbers to prove it then should it.

Otherwise we'd live in a world where you can purport spurious claims as facts and unless somebody goes to the effort of providing contrary information, it then becomes truth?

LS Post Codes (Leeds) by comparison produce relatively poor numbers of professional players! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirmonds pouch Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 On 19/11/2021 at 19:03, Sir Kevin Sinfield said: Wakefield have signed Leeds youngster Corey Hall. Leeds are yet again producing more Super League players than any other club. Wrong as ever. Wakefield & district provide more SL players than anyone else, FACT. The single biggest club supplier is or certainly was Wigan. Leeds is population wise the biggest entity in RL yet per capita it produces far less players than Wakefield and district and the Humberside region, both of which have much smaller populations. Nor do Leeds have a hotbed club like Stanley Rangers or Wigan St Pats. It's much more evenly spread and one of Leeds biggest donor clubs is Hunslet, which in RL terms isn't even in Leeds.

Per capita comparisons of clubs are a complete nonsense. As you say Leeds don’t have just 1 club that produces Super League players like Wigan st pats or Stanley Rangers, Leeds have a whole host of clubs producing players including Hunslet which most certainly is in Leeds.

I’m pretty sure the likes on Ince Rose Bridge,St Judes,Orwell St James etc produce plenty of Superleague players,not that it makes much difference,the best academies cast their nets far & wide these days.

Well of course Per capita comparisons are nonsesce when they don't suit your narrative, I'll be sure to let you know when you next use them because they do. Think you'll find Hunslet RL consider themselves a separate entity to Leeds RL. I clearly said in RL terms, but thanks for the nod that Hunslet is a suburb of Leeds, how could I not know.

I’ve never used one and never will, as I said per capita comparisons are ridiculous and only used to try to make small town/village clubs appear bigger than they are. As for Hunslet, I’m not sure how anyone can claim it’s not in Leeds, it closer to the centre of Leeds than Headingley. Hunslet is an inner-city area in south Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It is 1 mile (1.6 km) southeast of the city centre https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunslet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we got the players though,centre looks a real problem,who will play in the halves with Cust,Powell given the 9 shirt when he was on his way out at the end of last year,just hoping they don’t play Bateman at 13 & play him on an edge,in short the spine looks all over the place.

Very meh for one of the bigger clubs in the game. The team may be greater than the sum of its parts but that is usually something the smaller clubs console themselves with. I would be surprised if it inspired much season ticket uptake as quite clearly they're not going to be competing with St Helens for the title.
