Quote ="Mirfieldbull"I think CK would be in the team in front of Hamer definitely and I don't think Addy would be anywhere near the first 17.
I personally would see Alan Redfearn in front of Harkin, and going further back Tony Fisher would have to be with a shout as hooker, if anyone can remember him!!!!'"
I wasn't suggesting Addy and Kopczak would make the top table, rather that they are international players and the RFL should reward clubs who develop Academy players into internationals in some way.We got next to nothing for developing Bateman, Whitehead, Ferres, Kopczak, the three Burgess brothers and Atkins, These are just the internationals and don't include Addy who is rumoured to heading for the exit.
We developed them and the rich clubs pick them up for next to nothing.That is business, but where is the incentive for the likes of Bradford to continue to develop the next generation of top international quality talent?
