It wasn't DVDV who set up the youth system, he actually disbanded it to pay the wages of Langer, Gee etc. It was Paul Cullen who started it off again, he is doing pretty much the same with Widnes now.

Read the rules! A team benefits from producing players who are in England's Elite training squad, you couldn't get the benefits of this as you did not produce Sam Tomkins from your youth academy.

I seen Sam Tomkins openly admit his love for Warrington on Super Leagues supermen the other week. Even referring to the Henry try against Leeds as his favourite ever try. Once a Wire, always a wire.

Didn't he do an interview proclaiming Langer was his terrace hero and he had a shirt with Langer on the back?

If he ever did come to Wire from Wigan there would be bedlam on here.

they'll saVE some money with gareth thomas playing for nowt, and they'll reap the rewards from publicity of that film thats being done about him, that mickey rourke isn't bothering with anymore.

We are already entitled to the maximum £100k so it'll makje no difference having Tomkins or not. So again, why does this rule make it possible for Wigan to be able to afford Tomkins but not Warrington when Warrington get the maximum benefit possible?
