What's your point? The majority of our squad are from the youth system. Look at the starting team against St Helens, half of them are academy products.

Wigan have one of, if not the best utilised youth systems in Rugby League and balance the squad well.

I don't even know what I gave you that response because you already know it.

I give in

I'm not against you!
I've never said there isn't a transition period.
I've said that TS doesn't give the impression that it is, cos he is about the only one not saying it.

That's all Wigan do isn't it? never sign players to fix squad problems.

Fatty Bowen?
Matty Smith?
Blake Green?
Tony Clubb?
Dan Sarginson?
Jordan James?
Scott Taylor?
Ben Flower?
Gil Dudson?
Jon Bateman?
Eddy Pettybourne?

Promote within, I agree.

I think we all unserstand you apart from the duck.

The position you are in isn't something that has just suddenly appeared. A lot of your best players for the last couple of seasons have been the wrong side of 30. Young players have been brought through but not in the positions needed. I have heard that Moran offered Smith whatever money he needed to get in the right players, Smith said he didn't need it, he was happy with what he had.
