Quote: Natters "Crikey lets not go OTT here, these lads have still got a long way to go before they are even SL standard never mind world beaters.
How many junior players have we heard about as being the next Harris or Sculthorpe only for them to fail to make it to any serious level.
If any of these three develop into a world beater thats when we can start crying about it and only then.'"
They were some of the top lads at their age group, an age group that seems to be very strong compared to others around the nation. They're obviously nowhere near established players, but we as fans love nothing more than seeing the homegrown lads come through and establish themselves in the first team. If the best players from every age group, your Mellor's, your Watkins and so on keep on leaving, we have to wonder WTF is going wrong, and it's natural for us to show our disappointment.
I'm not sure if it's the club going wrong, the player's making their own decisions or a combination of both.
