History for LionLegs

If I'm getting this right it sounds like WelNix want the Phoenix Academy to be nominated as the official national academy to develop promising youngsters? So that there is a concentration of all the best talent at that academy? 

But then I've also heard that Stu Jacobs/Kaizen Academy is very critical of the Phoenix Academy set up. There are many academies in NZ. Is it necessary or beneficial to have one given preferential treatment? How do we know the Phoenix Academy selectors will not overlook the next Messi? It sounds like putting all your eggs in one basket to me. Better to have multiple pathways in different centres. WelNix need to be careful they don't overplay their hand to the point of arrogance.
