Solid effort that.

So if it came to it, every club in the league could actually field a decent looking full matchday squad of homegrown players.

That wasn't so hard now was it?

But at least 4 of ours have now gone!

I would have had Maggenis in there on the bench. Here is a club trained team...

1. Wellens
2. Gardner
3. Foster
4. Wheeler
5. Makinson
6. Gaskell
7. Lomax
8. Graham
9. Roby
10.Clough
11.Wilkin
12.Magennis
13. Moore

14. Dixon
15. Eastmond
16. Ashurst
17. Armstrong

For Salford We've got

1 – Stefan Ratchford
2 – Jodie Broughton
3 – Sean Gleeson
4 - Ashley Gibson
5 – Danny Williams
6 – Marc Sneyd
7 – Matty Smith
8 – Ryan Boyle
9 – Wayne Godwin
10 – Lee Jewitt
11 – Luke Adamson
12 – Adam Neal
13 – Stephen Wild

14 – Adam Sidlow
15 – Rob Parker (as he's now on loan at Castleford, I'd include Toby Adamson)
16 – Gareth Owen
17 – Jack Spencer

OK so put in Dixon, Williams, Mc Meekin and Bishay!

Do you think I give a monkey's about what you said. I was making a point using my own free will, I couldn't care less if it meets the criteria of the thread you started.

Go wash the sand out of your vagina and come back to me when you're ready for a bit of grown up discussion mate.

Unlike Warrington who dont know the meaning of producing Warrington produced players. Big applause to Wigan and Saints in that department.

I wouldn't bother with him mate, to be honest I find that nobody other than Vast can have an opinion, and if you do you are wrong, and then shortly later called a child for no particular reason!

The Club Trained players argument is an interesting one,

Shame actually, There wasnt a cup competition, That could run for only club trained players. Would give the youth a chance, And reward those who promote their own youth.

With Wigan's current star player, Sam Tomkins, a self-confessed Warrington fan who owned an Alfie Langer Warrington shirt in his youth, and Wigan's future star player Joe Mellor being a Warrington fan poached from the Warrington youth structure, the big question is when will Wigan be able to bring through some "true Wigan" star players in to their ranks



Paul Wood
Ben Harrison
Lee Mitchell
Matty Blythe
Rhys Evans
Gareth O'Brien
Tyrone Mcarthy
Mike Cooper
Rhys Williams
Chris Riley

All players who have played for the first team THIS season. This isn't exceptional by any means but I would guess puts us comfortably towards the top of the super league ranks, certainly in terms of quality, with most of those players being full or youth internationals.

Would that be the born and bred Wiganer Paul Wood?
