24 out of Wigan's 34 man squad are either from Wigan or came through the Academy.

22 Academy, + Gleeson & Deacon born there.

so thats 17 at widnes either club trained or from widnes

As far as I know, York have no Leythers in our team at all. Rubbish.

Thanks Andy, so + Peacock that would be 18 Leeds born or Academy lads in total from 31?

And we've have none from yorkshire and only one overseas player.
I think.

All of Hull KRs squad are from earth and/or have the requisite number of arms and legs

What is the requisite number of arms and legs then... I did not know that there was an RFL law based requirement?

18 it is then! So to answer the original poster... Yes!

not just a yes. but yes to Widnes, Saints, Leeds, Wigan, Hull etc etc etc etc. so its a big fat YES.

You never saw Kerry Gibson at Runcon Highfield? He was a class above anyone else at that level, in spite of only having one arm. Bit fond of an argument though.

Not sure about that as surely every players has been developed by their local amateur club at some point?

For what it's worth, both Higson and Meekin also played through our academy teams if memory serves me right. Quite hard to define 'developing' a player as the vast majority of the work will be done by the amateur clubs, though that's obviously changing now that there are matches between the pro clubs at scholarship level which wasn't the case until the past couple of years.

Well done on having 12 leythers, they are at their level

From a 26/27 man squad :

10/11 from Hull - Yeaman, Horne, Houghton, Radford, Washbrook, Lyne, Kent, Cunningham, Green and Nicklas, plus Burnett on loan at Quins.

Then another 3 from our academy - T. Briscoe, J. Briscoe and Crooks.

We can also count Thornley as hes from Wigan
