This is what I meant at the start by mediocrity. Warrington produce players from the Academy that play first team for a while then get moved on and for us this is evidence of the Academy's success.

Look at Wigan, Leeds and Saints academy - these clubs produce players who are internationals, have successful NRL careers, or are able to play central roles in Grand Final winning teams.

No it's me that needs to apologise. I thought you were using that list as some type of 'evidence' that our academy is fit for purpose in producing quality SL players. But I see now you mean players that will end up in the championship or no longer playing.

Two ex Wire academy players on show tonight. Ryan Shaw and Kruise Leeming. Both look quite promising.

never realised leeming was ex wire

Kruise? Loving Kruise?
I bet the vicar was made up, baptising him.
Was Chardonnay-Boo being done at the same time?
