Quote JB Down Under="JB Down Under"steady on, didn't you know we are supposed to be able to produce 15 SL standard players from jnrs in 3 years?'"
Yes, despite this...
Quote JB Down Under="SmokeyTA"There is a limit to the amount of players we can take from the heartlands, if we are to have more clubs, then we need more players. We have a very strong heartland where there isnt a great deal of potential for growth in the amateur game. If you look at the amateur game in west yorkshire, cumbria, the areas around Hull and Wigan, you will see a very very strong amateur scene, as strong as any amateur sport in the country.
A huge amount of our players come from these areas, and there isnt a huge amount more than can be squeezed out of there.'"
Assuming Smokey is correct I'd say Rovers deserve a big well done for finding young talent in those circumstances. Plus, Rovers under 18's have some real quality in there so there's more (and better) to come...
Well done Rovers eh Smokey?
