To all of the above, my post was in response to the line "Sam is a wigan lad"
Tis a great thread though, watching Wigan fans stroking each others stallions.

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj]

Not sure what the criteria is but St Helens and Leeds have actually been winning Grand Finals with teams made up of Academy products for many years. Nice to see Wigan catch up finally. The more the merrier.
Leeds Academy products hold 6 Harry Sunderlands from the GF era if you want quality over quantity.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

Us Wiganers can always be assured that the biggest "stallions" will be elsewhere...  |

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

The RFL have details of all players' registration and the postcodes they originate from.
Anyone who wants an independent source of this info then contact them.
BTW the Leeds postcode is not at the top!

Really?
whilst not many have lasted long at their parent club, SL and championship is littered with ex Wigan half backs. |

Just the ones who have started a game this season:
Brown - Widnes
Robinson - Huddersfield
J Coyle - Hunslet
T Coyle - Leigh/Hunslet
Howarth - Salford/St Helens
Mellor - Widnes
Then, the ones still at Wigan:
Tomkins
Powell
Williams
Probably more I've forgotten/
Yes, Howarth & Tomkins are playing other positions now, but both came through as halfbacks. |

Yep, it's a shame the town can't produce talent like Warrington born Stefan Ratchford. |

So you have all these talented half backs coming through but still insist on signing halfs from elsewhere

Sam Tomkins
George Williams
Sam Powell
Ryan Hampshire
All can play half back/ broke through as half backs and still at the club.
Interesting argument coming from a wire fan whoose idol- Lee Briers was signed from St. Helens, and their other half back Richie Myler was signed from Salford.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

So how many teams (Leeds apart) have halfbacks playing for them who have come through their academy system?
How many other teams (apart from Wigan) have played every game with no less than ten academy produced players in their team?
How many teams have played games with fourteen academy produced players in their team? |

All this and they still can't win owt.
Come back when your world beating born & bred wannabes have got a stack of GF winners medals, WCCs & Harry Sunderlands like the ones Leeds' born & bred champions have been picking up every year for the last 10 years.
