I dont think this is a new thing to be honest its gone on for a number of years dads coaching their sons as no one else wants to do the job. Dont the club do nights throughout the year where club coaches come down? Im sure they used to but not 100% sure? That said said people on this forum are moaning about the coaches at the club so if they arnt good enough then whats the point in sending them to coach other coaches? Theres an argument that our better 18s weren't playing last night as its better for their development in the reserves im sure Wigan could argue the same. All the same it would have been nice to see Hall and Tindall tightening the edges up made for a more competitive game i feel.

Thought we had good links with Kippax,Has something changed recently? We got 5 or 6 from kippax each of the last two times they had a decen u14's team.

Edgell, Simpson, Wroe, Spear, Dakeyne and think Lynch are all kippax u16s

Burtons x 2, Barton, Adamson, Anderson were alk kippax and signed in the same intake not too long ago.

The Half going to Cas looks very good.

Do you know why youngsters are being advised to stay away from us now? thought we'd addressed a lot of the issues we had a few years ago, though a lot of the very best do seem to go across the Pennines these days.

I've watched a fair bit of Scholarship and Academy the last few years and I'm surprised at a few of your releases, especially Stephens.

You're not the only club though, not by a long way. A family member who's represented England at Academy level whilst in year one has been released by Warrington at the end of year two and he's not the only one.

Someone on the Cas forum mentioned Danny Orr was joining our youth set up...Strange move for him , if true.

Anybody heard anything?

Not happening.

Cheers, thought it would be a strange career move for him.
