Grix - Halifax, Briers - St Helens,Bridge - Bradford, that leaves 4
rest you mention will be nowhere near the 17 on Saturday

It's how you want to interpret it though, all came in young, where's the cut off point for youth development, and they're all closer to the final than McGuire and Sinfield and Burrow.

Plus Leeds is a city, Wigan have 10 times the amatuer teams that Warrington have, you tell me how we compete with Leeds population 751, 485 compared to Warrington 202, 228.?

Good debate this.

That's fair comment ,although JP is a Leeds man who comes from the same area as JJB as does the legendary Ryan Bailey.

Why are you quoting Leeds in this regard?
The original comment & comparison was with your opponents on Saturday or are you too thick to understand the basis of the comments & the debate?

I'm not too thick at all, we have people who slag off the club for circumstances way beyond it's controll, we are told we don't bring enough through yet we have a very small talent pool, if anything I think Wire do well all considering, out academy sides punch way above their weight comparing geographical statistics.

Besides if a Leeds fan is comparing us to Wigan that it is entirely fair to quote the Leeds system for comparison.

I like Leeds, I love their systems of working but you have more natural resources so you are able to make the most of them, we don't have the resources but or import budget is vastly higher than yours so we utilise that resource.
Play to your strengths rather than move the goalposts because you're stronger in a particular area, if Wire had more amateur clubs or 3 and a quarter the times population and sure we could do it the Wigan and Leeds way.

All would make sense apart from your comment about Watkins playing for a Warrington club. Why talk about lack of playing talent in "your area" just after pointing out Leeds seem to go far and wide to recruit young players - actually highlighting one example where you failed to spot or recruit a current international. This would seem to prove that any club can recruit from anywhere and local population is absolutely irrelevant. You are being far too touchy, massively overreacting to a couple of lines from one poster.

I don't give a monkey's where Warrington got their team from. Most of us don't.

I think Chardonay is more typical than Kylie

I was, honest to God, not bothered either way - I really didn't care but now, because of this clown... GO WIRE.

Don't care who wins although I am looking forward to watching it.
FWIW i think wigan will prevail.

Got it in one for me!!!! I'm slightly leaning toward wanting Warrington to win this one.... I think if it was us v Wigan in the GF then Tony Smith would prefer us to win. As much as I cant do with Briers whining..... he's a god send almost when compared to Sean "cheapshot" O Loughlin and Ratface Sam Tomkins and weird brother!
