That didn't take long...

Some of those are first year pros or possibly last year u19s. A few like Higginson had a squad number whilst in the u19s. You expect a few of the young lads to be loaned out for experience, something we had problems with last season because of the injury situation. A few lads with first team experience will be looking for more game time than we hope to have to give them this year.

Jonny Lomax
Tommy Makinson
Mark Percival
Calvin Wellington
Adam Swift
Danny Richardson
Matty Smith
Greg Richards
James Roby
Luke Thompson
Joe Greenwood
Jack Ashworth
Morgan Knowles

Fleming, Bailey, Spedding, Grace, Cooper, Jonah Cunningham

19 of our squad numbers 1-30! Not a bad XIII either

Pathetic isn't it. Willzay seems to have a real fear of expansion/Toronto.

On a slightly different note, anyone interested in 'home grown' players for the Wolfpack, get yourself down to Brighouse Rangers this Saturday. The finalists from The Last Tackle will be playing a game vs Brighouse to play for a contract with the Wolfpack. I'm sure Willzay will be down there sneering at people without a Northern accent playing RL.

Also, they already have two Americans and one Canadian in their squad.

Huddersfield:

Leroy Cudjoe
Jerry McGillvary
Mike Lawrence
Kruise Leeming
Nathan Mason
Jared Simpson
Sam Wood
Mikey Wood
Tyler Dickinson
Liam Johnson
Darnell McIntosh
Jacob Wardle

12 out of 27

I was on the fench with Keinhorst. Decided to put him in the other list simply because, with a fully fit centre / second row, he'd probably find himself outside the 17. Granted however, he more than took his chance this year.

Other Homegrown that will play parts

Kevin Penny
Dec Patton
Matty Blythe
Joe Philbin
Sam Wilde
Morgan Smith
Jack Johnson

Technically speaking Wilkin is also a home grown as he joined the year of his 18th birthday iirc. I think you counted Richardson twice though:

First Team - 8: Lomax, Makinson, Percival, Swift, Smith, Roby, Greenwood, Wilkin
Regulars - 4: Thompson, Richards, Ashworth, Knowles
Played - 4: Bailey, Fleming, Wellington, Spedding
Yet to play - 4: Grace, Richardson, Cunningham, Cooper
Overseas - 3: Morgan, Douglas, Peyroux
Others -6: Fages, Walker, LMS, Amor, Walmsley, Lee, Owens

This is all quite refreshing, wasn't that long ago this board was filled with lines about "over the hill aussies" and "kolpak stiffs"

Looks like more and more British lads are getting game time, winning the accolades and going to ply their trade in the NRL. Good times for the national setup.

Will Add other British (regular First team)

Chris Hill

Overseas - 2

Kurt Gidley


The future is bright at Warrington and dont think we get the credit that other clubs would get

13 home grown players (out of which 9 will probably play a fair few games this year)
12 first team british players (excuding home grown)
Only 2 Overseas in the squad (is there another team with less?)
