The problem with Hemmings is that he never says anything interesting about the play, its always 'Leeds have won four on the trot', or 'Wigan have never lost when a number 4 bus passes the ground', or when Sia has a dump just before the match Saints always win'. He is totally appalling.

He also lost his rag when Briers said it was 4 days until Wire had to play Wigan. It was a clever dig by him, but Hemmings had a real tantrum about it.

Late developer, and another reason why these academy proposals for next year stink.

Have we had the actual proposals yet, or are we still working with the outline, Rogues ?

And have Wigan actually agreed - I had heard you were going to go with Scorpions as a feeder ? I can not seem to find any info on the RFL site.

My lad has just accepted a scholarship at U15s and they are merged next season with the U16s. Not sure what will be gained by all this.

Agree totaly, a complete backward step by the RFL being forced through by clubs who seemingly don't want to invest in their youth set up.

If I were cynical, I would think the RFL want to destroy the youth set up of clubs like Wire inorder to level the playing field in SL.

tut, tut what a dreadful person I am.
