| Quote Roofaldo="Roofaldo"Andy Smith at Bradford. Was tearing academy sides to pieces on the wing, but just couldn't seem to make the step up to SL level'"
I remember Andy Smith, he was a great passer of the ball and had a good defense but never had that turn of pace to break the line

| From the original post, Crabtree was training with Wigan's first team squad when he got a bad knee injury which set him back badly. He captained an Academy tour to Australia which included a lot of current SL players.
There were a huge number of talented players in my age group, arguably more talented than current SL players at the time, who got a lot of money for signing on and thought they had made it before they were even close.

| Kris Smith at Leeds - had bags of ability but picked up a couple of horrible injuries that he never really recovered properly from.
Still, he's probably the only name that'll get mentioned on this thread currently seeing to a Minogue

| Quote vikings 4 ever="vikings 4 ever"Adam Bibey - Widnes paid a fee for him and Neil Kelly described him as one of the top forward prospects in the country
When I was doing a bit of googling I noticed this academy team from 2003 which beat the Aussie Institute of Sport team.
England Academy
Ian Hardman (St Helens) Try: 1
Lee Smith (Leeds)
Matthew Cook (Bradford) Sin Bin: 1
Karl Pyrce (Bradford) Try: 1
Danny Speakman (Wigan) Try: 1
Scott Murrell (Hull Kingston Rovers) Try: 1
James Coyle (Wigan)
Craig Huby (Castleford) Goals: 4
John Gallagher (Leeds)
James Graham (St Helens)
Jason Golden (Harlequins RL)
Harrison Hansen (Wigan) Try: 1
Carl Ablett (Leeds)
Subs:
Simon Grix (Warrington)
Brett Ferres (Castleford)
Adam Bibey (Widnes)
Andy Bracek (Barrow)
Bit of a mixed bag in terms of successes and failures really.'"
I was at that game and Karl Pryce was (literally and figuratively) head and shoulders above anybody else on the pitch bar James Graham
Graham has captained England and Pryce is possibly the biggest disappointment in Super League due to the lack of delivering on huge potential

The Coyle brothers
Tommy Lee
Andy Bracek
Jamie Rooney?
Nicky Royle, though he's making a nice living for himself on the RU 7s circuit.

Yes, well they certainly paid a significant fee. Think Barrow released him at the end of last season?
