We will never know if Bateman,Whitehead,Kopzcak would still be Bulls players if the club had been run right these last few years

I do think that Cummings is far more open to looking at youngsters after he saw how successful they were at Leeds. Nobby and Elliot were more about instant success. I doubt many youngsters will come through at Salford in the next few years. We do need the youth set up now and for the next few years. We should be investing in them and telling them that they will get a chance if they work hard enough. My question back to CleckBull would be - how many have been signed by other SL clubs?

Well in most cases old enough to know better

According to wickipedia here's who debuted who came through our academy under Elliott and Noble.

Some of the lads at WB were at bulls but released when money troubles started

The standard in the amateur is the lowest ive seen in years those that look good at bowling now only do so because the others are poor. The basics are just basic one player thinks hes miles better than the rest and tries to do things that he can only do in his heaf. Leeds have got the best 2 from drig the bulls the next best. Thees a fb and scum half at batley u13s who are immense. The fb knows exactly when to hit the line knows exactly where and when the scrum halfs gonna kick the ball.. we need to look at these 2 as soon as we can cos they incredible.

Shaw Cross have the best halfback partnership in the country at Under 13's (Not my words, but those of the bloke who has been in charge of youth development at Wigan for an age!) . Wigan are all over them, as are Wakey. The Bulls would be mad not to keep an eye on them.

The two lads at shaw cross are good players but imo the team has suffered over the past couple of years has everything went through them has a result they have been found wanting and have been passed by plenty of half backs in that age group.

Poor lads. Even at U13 fans'opinions can range from god-like to sheeite. RL fans. Doncha jus luv em?

What happened to The Bulls Connection? During the late 90s I attended several coaching workshops at Odsal, these were run by Bernard Dwyer and Paul Medley. I travelled from Hull and there were coaches from amateur clubs all over the country.

Hi Guys, from Bingley which is the closest amateur team to go watch playing and which day... New in the area. Thanks.

Keighley or silsden depending on your level.
