Last year Saints poached Matty Wood (Rylands), Andre Savelio (Latchford), and Lewis Charnock (Rylands) from your sevice area squad.

I've just been informed that this year we have signed on scholarship forms Ben Steele (Crossfields), Josh Swift (Crossfields), Kane Ditchfield), and Joseph Ryan (Rylands) from your service area squad. All of them turned down Warrington apart from Steele who is a Saints fan.

Savelio and Charnock where magnificent for our U15 Service area last yeat.

Joesph Ryan won your U14 player of the year last year and he loves Warrington, i think Ditchfield is a good un aswell.

Your youth system aroud your area is producing some amazing talents imo but you're losing quite a few before scholarship stage. Callum Wright was another last year that left for Wigan.

Serious question. Why are these lads leaving Warrington ?

I understood it was due to training schedules, Saints was apparantly far more in depth at that age group than warringtons, and was done over more days.

Not sure if its still the same reasoning.

Geordie said this was going to happen again.

Why is it always Saints nicking them?

There have been threads like this for years, it usually involves players leaving our youth set up for Saints, or how our best young players are going elsewhere and why can't we keep hold of them. I am struggling to think of which of the lads who left have gone onto be first teamers in any SL club never mind Saints.

Does anybody who has followed our youth team intently over the past few seasons know who the lads were that went on to make it, that we let slip through our fingers?

Andy Dixon at saints. Warrington lad who played at crosfields

It's the lure of the red vee, the change to represent a club where so much history has been made and where so many legends have played.

Kallum Watkins was at Latchford wasn't he? Does that count?

they leave because warrington do not treat them right, i no at least 4 players from the acadamy squad who have either quit or moved to other clubs, warrington apparently only want you to be big, gym work all the time with little ball and skills work, so maybe thats the reason why?

Jake Emmit. Though the first team bit is debatable.

kieron cunningham was at warrington and they didnt think he was good enough at the time, probably the worst mistake warrington ever made as HE DID come back to bite us and bite us hard he did

Was he really

The families of these two both support Sintellins so maybe not that much of a surprise.

Why not list the lads who HAVE signed?

wigan have poached some too

No wonder you rely upon signing upon signing overseas/other teams players. Cant bring your own through the ranks.
