Leigh have currently 12 Leythers in their first team squad and if you count us as a small town, In Wigan, make that 14

forst?

I don't understand the 'if you count us as a small town make it 14' reference? Does that mean if you include Wigan make it 14?

Either way it's irrelevant as the standard is terrible. If they could make a stable Super League team with those stats it would be impressive.

But Super teams have upteen Aussies.
Yes we have two from Wigan although Chris Hill came through our academy

Hill , Taylor, Hopkins, Govin did and then left, but hes back, Bibey, Meekin, Higson came form Leigh |Miners, not sure on Donlan he started at Leigh then left, Nicholson and Pownall all did. Thats pretty good eh.

Hull don't, they have 12 from Hull though.

I would say it is good yes, well done leigh, pretty sure donlan came from your academy.

You cant really claim players developed by the local amatuer club as players developed by yourself though!

I didnt say that orginally I said Leythers playing in our team However most have come through our academy and theres more playing currently in SL aka Mickey Higham

By my reckoning there are 11 Cas lads in our first team squad this season.

Thats very good that well done Cas.

Dobson, Green, Mason, Lovegrove, Fisher, Galea, Newton, Webster, Vella, Clinton ALL came through our scholarship...no really!

Definitely makes for a positive future. It doesn't include 3 or 4 who are knocking on the door either and are likely to breakthrough in the next year or two.

Oldham have at least 10.

not the squad,but the saints 17 in the grand final last year had 10 players who had progressed from the accademy.out of this years squad of 29,13 are former academy players with first team experience and 4 have yet to play first grade.
