I still feel the junior leagues need to switch to summer! Look at the weather outside! What incentive is there for talented lads to go training in that, you cannot improve core skills and more importantly its just not enjoyable, plus most matches will be called off for the next 2 months, so youngsters get out of the habit and never return to the game.
A switch to summer would hopefully see an increase in the number of kids actually playing rugby league and the smaller more skillful players will shine rather than the giant kid with no core skills who nobody can tackle

Where I worked, part of every management positions goals and objectives were to identify, develop and help train their successor.

I'm not sure I've worded it quite right but I think you will understand.

I do, it's not like that at my place though lol.

Hopefully that's what we're seeing implemented at Wigan.

Maguire to Shaun Wane, Shaun Wane to (Potentially) Deacon etc etc.

Its been shown that the clubs that invest in young players are the ones that perrenially compete at the top of SL, surely its not rocket science to investigate it being the same with the coaching staff?

We are better at Gambling, drinking and looking after pets interests, Oh hang on
