He also joined and played in Cas's academy. As well as being on the Vas scholarship. And being in Bradford's academy. And, more importantly, made his first team debut at Cas. He is Cas homegrown and counts as such, no matter how many times you Wakey fans think because a player may play at scholarship at 15 or alike he counts as yours.

Warrington

First team regulars

Rhys Evans
Ben Currie
Brad Dwyer
George King
Toby King
Mike Cooper

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
Stefan Ratchford
Daryl Clark
Ryan Atkins
Tom Lyneham
Matty Russel
Kevin Brown
Andre Savelio
Dom Crosby
Joe Westerman
Ben Westwood
Jack Hughes

Overseas - 2

Ashton Sims
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?)

We also take some credit for the King brothers at Warrington, they came through our scholarship before transferring to Wire

Larne Patrick also spent most years as an academy player at Castleford.

morgan smith was on the scholarship at the rhinos but was lured over to the wolves as a young kid for a reputed £30,000 per season

Makes him a third of one doesn't it. OK if they are the rules he's yours on a technicality.

I don't mind because clearly he means that much to you so have him on the house as I think he's pretty poor tbh.

Doesn't work like that, he has to graduate from the Academy to the first team - we'd be all over the shop if we went back to U17s etc. Leeds could claim Tom Johnstone as I think he was in their U15s development side but really! He's never played first team for Hudds and isn't going to debut for them either which is the criteria set out on the OP.

That's how Fully has managed to claim Eden, you're just being silly.

Read what your buddy Fully put!

Eden played most of his U19's Academy at Wakefield but he did debut at Cas and he's claiming it.

Fair enough but if Patrick Debut at Hudds from their U19's he's a Hudds product - YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS!

I think Frazer Morris debuted in the Wigan vs Wakefield game in the Super 8s
