Doubtless to continue their outstanding youth development programme instituted by the messiah AP?

No one will disagree that our youth has been quite poor over recent years, the reason been kath hetherington n co, adam will get it right but we are at least 3 years behind, thanks to kaff n agar

Adam Pearsons card is well and trully marked.He has an awful lot to live up to in the next two or three years

Thanks for your concern. Lets hope for your sake that Gary and not Kath is holding the reins at your place.

Let's hope for your sake that a League One football club doesn't come on the market so your hero can go back to his preferred sport.

Think you find rl is his preffered sport now

Likewise, but I'm happy to accept Gary's record over the years since he took over at the Rhinos in developing our young, homegrown talent.
I've no reason to believe that will change.

you mean like lunt taking the place of mcshane!?

You're not really going to try and hold an argument over this are you? You don't have a leg to stand on if you're looking for an argument over youth development with Leeds.

And FWIW, Mcshane is still at the club anyway.

Any chance of adding players ages (preferably the age at start of 2013 season). Would be interesting indicator of how the squad is transitioning.

I have been told that the club are in talks with Stevie Ward at present about upgrading his current contract

The club want to tie him down on a new 4 year deal

They are also grooming him to be predominately a 6 and not a 13

IMO i dont see this as an issue as if he is picked at 6 then Sinny will be at 13 or vice versa and for a few seasons too before Sir Kev eventually retires

His contract does not run out until 2015 though?

It's going to be an upgraded one though

Ahem, second post on the first page, ahem...

Still not done it though has he, lazy ar5e...

Sounds like a reasonable request. While we wait for Frosties to do the neccessary on the first page I'll offer you this -

As at 1st February 2013 their ages will be:

35 - Jamie Peacock
34 - Kylie Leuluai (35 on the 29th Mar)
32 - Kevin Sinfield, Ian Kirke, Richard Moore
31 - Darrell Griffin, Jamie Jones-Buchanan
30 - Rob Burrow, Danny McGuire
29 - Ryan Bailey
28 - Weller Hauraki (29 on the 18th Feb)
27 - Brett Delaney, Carl Ablett
26 - Lee Smith
25 - Shaun Lunt, Kyle Amor, Ryan Hall
24 - Ben Jones-Bishop
23 - Paul McShane, Luke Ambler
22 - Chris Clarkson (23 on the 7th April)
21 - Kallum Watkins (22 on the 12th Mar), Zak Hardaker, Liam Hood
20 - Brad Singleton
19 - Stevie Ward

I don't start to keep any records for players until they reach 1st grade so any others that you're interested in you'll have to research for yourself.

Done, as of 1st March 2013 this is how old the players will be.

Whoops !

Didn't realise Kyle Amor was that 'old'.....geez ! If it takes until that age for Leeds to decide whether that individual can make the first team we can possibly look forward to seeing Ward as a regular in 2018

Would be good for him he needs to play regularly
