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?)

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

I can't quite believe people are arguing who is to blame for Greg Eden. He is hardly a shining beacon of hope for English rugby league.
And surely it's not about which individual club a player "belonged" to. All clubs that contribute to a player's development should take a share of credit for that player's success.

He did, came on as Sub.

Liam Finn - Wakefield

It is much of a muchness but homegrown is generally defined as those players who have spent 3 years or more at a club before 21 or where they made their first team debut.

Otherwise we could be here arguing the toss about which academy contributed to a player when in reality it could be many.

So you would be correct in that Larne Patrick wouldn't be ours despite being from Ponte and that I went to school with him.

Pontefract is a different town to castleford so you are definitely correct.
