| Quote: RED LEAGUE "Its ok having money fella's, but when you don’t know how to use it you’re never going to get anywhere.
Same old Warrington thinking they can buy success, it doesn’t work like that, Why don’t you try what Leeds and Saints have done? Mixing quality influential players not up there own booty like your lot with young talent? Ever thought that could work?
Buying your Benji Marshall’s and your Darren Lockyers is just making a total mockery out of this franchise system and will continue to ruin our international game!'"
Interesting idea and one I think Warrington should implement. To do so we will need to:-
- Recruit a head of youth development, maybe from one Leeds?
- Recruit a top coach who has a proven track record of nurturing young players, maybe someone from Leeds?
- Sign up a lot of highly rated young players and blood them through our reserve and academy sides - maybe those teams winning a few games would help demonstrate this
- Start to clear up squad places and cap room by releasing or selling players where appropriate
- Have some sort of system whereby our fans can contribute financially to youth development. Some sort of 'SquadBuidling' system maybe?
Just some ideas. Hope someone at the club is listening...

With Gleeson's salary cap space freed up, possibly Briers leaving as well and other imports like Rauhihi, Hicks and Anderson off contract, we should target at least one of these big names for 2010. I hope Moran pulls out all the stops and offers them a package they cant turn down. A 300k a year deal, sponsored car and house in Stozza Heath should clinch it!
Hunt would be my first choice, he is younger and we need a full back desperately.
Either Marshall or Lockyer would do to replace Briers. Marshall has time on his side though and Lockyer would be a short term fix, but the most likely to be tempted over.
Thoughts?'"
You know the salary cap isnt 3 million, right?

First two fairly obvious. Yeoman can be the best centre in the competition if he got fit and back to the form of 2007. May just need a change of environment. Can easily fil the boots of Gleeson though, and we can't rely constantly on overseas players. We have to buy british at some point.'"
Your having a laugh, his last try was from a Paul Cooke pass. He's lost without him.

These are the types of players we should be looking at, not your Lyon's and Orford's.

Quote: Rob Wire "Thats some comparison lol, Richie Myler was up against one of the worse teams in super league and Sam Tomkins was up against the team that have been the best side in SL this year.
If i remember right from the reports i read Richie Myler did nothing worthy of a mention in that St Helens game either, i wouldn`t want either at Warrington at this stage as both are still inexperienced rookies, were a team that needs experience at present and proven class. Salford have had little choice but to chance a rookie and Wigan are the same after Tim Smith has flopped so far.
I hope both make a top flight career in RL as ive nothing against either player, its just based on what ive seen of both and what ive been told about Tomkins i view him as having more potential especially attacking wise as Myler to me seems more of a support half back rather than a creator based on what ive seen of him overall.'"

I think going off this, he did a fair bit against the SL Champions today. Looks like his stock is on the rise, pretty much a love-in, this thread.

He did naff all, scored a try when the game was 40-14 to reduce the deficit. He just passes the ball along, team orders ? Not sure, but he doesn't try to create anything.

Tommy Loo played well in parts. The Catalans pack just dominated wiggin, couldn't get any good field position in the opposition half.
Tomkins didn't do much. Eastmond and Myler are looking to be good prospect at half-back at the mo. Ainscough is a very good prospect on the wing.

There's something so fundamentally wrong with this thread. Splashing out on big Aussie stars hasn't worked. What needs to happen is the players need to get some backbone and play with some passion. At the moment they don't seem to care about the Warrington club, and they aren't playing as a team; they are playing as individuals.

| Forget Myler - he is signed up until the end of 2010 - no way a transfer fee under £500k would even attract Wilko & Co. Would feel the same story re Tompkins. Wire should develop the natural talent in the town. There is plent of it and a complete change of focus is needed at the HJ.
