Just out of curiosity, if your team HAD to line up one matchday without using a single overseas player, what would your 1-17 look like?

How much weaker would it realistically be?

How would it compete against the other teams homegrown 17?

Club homegrown or homegrown + fed trained?

Homegrown & Fed Trained.

Wigan are allowed Harrison Hansen.

1. Riley
2. Evans
3. Bridge
4. Atkins
5. Williams
6. Briers
7. Myler
8. Morley
9. Clarke
10. Carvell
11. Grix
12. Westwood
13. Harrison

14. Higham
15. Cooper
16. Wood
17. Mitchell

Still then have Tyrone McCarthy (forward), Gareth O'Brien (half back), Matty Blythe (centre/second row).

I reckon it's still a strong side, not the strongest bench but would probably compete well.

Out of that only Mellor and Logan haven't played SL and all from the Wigan academy system.

You've only picked English players, do it again with players who have come through your academy. Atkins, Briers, Myler, Morley, Higham, Carvell for starters shouldnt be in there!

No Deacon, Fielden or Coley? It's still a strong team regardless.

Tried to do it with just Wigan-produced players.

No they're fine! They're in Warrington's current squad!

No mate I'm not looking for an academy standards pi$$ing contest, just curious as to what sort of homegrown team each club can put out from their current squads to see how they would shape up without relying on NRL fillers.

+4 youngsters with no experience.

I started a thread on our board last week about our lack of youngsters coming through and increasing reliance on foreign players. I don't think Agar knows we have an academy.

1. Richard Mathers (Greg Eden)
2. Kirk Dixon (Ben Blackmore)
3. Joe Arundel
4. Jordan Thompson
5. Richard Owen
6. Ryan Brierley
7. Danny Orr
8. Paul Jackson (Clark Thompson)
9. Adam Milner
10. Craig Huby
11. Jake Emmitt (Chris Siddons)
12. Stuart Jones (John Davies)
13. Brett Ferres (Billy Harris)
============
14. Daryl Clark
15. Jonathan Walker
16. Nick Fozzard (Charlie Martin)
17. Oliver Holmes

So pretty much this years first team. Brackets are players from the Cas academy who could replace the non-Cas trained first teamers.

Ok then fair enough, Deacon in with Lockers moving 13, Farrell to the bench, Fielden and Coley in. L Tomkins, O'Carroll and Crosby missing out from my original team.
