Every year we have these lists and yet so few actually become stars of even the minor variety.

Last season Wigan fans said - Tomkins
Saints - Eastmond
Both had great seasons, finishing very strongly. |

| Wow. two far from complete halfbacks from a list that probably included 3/4 players from every club. I'm impressed. Really. 
Across the NRL every year at least two or three obvious WORLD CLASS prospects come through, with a significant number of good squad players as well. Seriously, I suspect we'd all believe that junior development in England was going great guns if we even produced what the Broncos do every year (and before anyone starts they do NOT have the monopoly on talent in Queensland - even in south-east Queensland, as every NRL club has scouts here and several are poached every year by southern teams). |

Of course they do. Liverpool, Man U, Chelsea etc... Have 10 or more potentially world class youngsters in there youth teams. Football is our number one sport. They have the player pool. Rugby League in England will never produce the amount of players Australia do.
Get over it mate. Just be happy to see the likes of Eastmond come thru. |

I'm happy to see Eastmond come through. But he is far from the finished article - fair enough at his age but what I fear is that the strengths in his game will stay but so will too many weaknesses. You'd fully expect an equivalent Aussie to develop into a more rounded player as they mature.
If you're happy with the odd star like Burgess and half-baked halfbacks then fine. Don't hold your breath waiting for us to see improved results regularly for England though.

True but some Saints fans were saying Jamie Foster as well (a good bet for this year),
I am looking forward to seeing how good Mellor is at Wigan and Lee Gaskell is at Saints. The Burgess twins at Bradford may get a crack at some point too. |

For Bradford I'd expect Whitehead and Donaldson to continue getting game time and continuing to improve. Also the Burgess twins are on the cusp of the 1st team and given their pedigree, big things are expected of them
