It’s an awful standard and hasn’t improved since it’s inception. If they need game time send them to the National League or the National League north or south as all 3 leagues are a far higher standard than what we have in Wales.

Totally agree. Somebody name me the last time a supposed younster acutally made the starting team weekly consistently played last. Let alone after playing in the welsh leagues. In my opinion many of them wouldn't cut it at conference level or below that otherwise they would be there already playing the man's game.
We always hear of how good these "younsters" but they end up on the scrap heap sadly. So that tells me there not good enough in most cases.

Rhys Healy came from Haverfordwest and isn’t doing too badly now, Ben Cabango at Swansea had a season on loan there and has done well since,

Rhys Healey Career:
Let’s see how he performs in The Championship?
Plus can you name any player that City sent on loan to the Welsh League that then went on to make it in the Championship???

Don’t think it’s anything to do with the league itself why the players don’t make it in to the city first team, clearly the players ain’t good enough, my point is that some clubs like Swansea have sent young players to that league and it’s helped with the development, and other players have been bought from the league and have had success at a higher level, what would be better for the bigger welsh clubs us if we had a b team in the leagues
