Your reply proves my point, if you have no respect or fear of us, why spend time on WIRES forum.

When you deserve respect you get respect. You don't deserve it.

| Quote: Rob Wire "If your talking about the spine of a team being made up from academy players then thats a bit rich coming from a club that virtually bought their success during the 80's and early 90's, in the main you went with proven ability over academy players, look at the long list of players that Wigan have shipped out over the years that came through the academy and instead you replaced them with foriegners or the best british players you could buy.
Back in the 80's and 90's you had an open cheque book, if you wanted a player you got them ahead of academy players. You produced a few players from the academy during your success but that was just law of averages more than anything else compared to the amount you shipped out. Its only in recent times that you have gone with more academy players and thats not by choice, thats because of the salary cap.'"
80s and 90s?
Edwards, Gregory, Hampson, Dermott, Betts, Clarke, Robinson, Farrell, Haughton, Lydon, Radlinski. All these before 94 and im sure there are more. All Wigan lads.
The problem with the academy is you can only keep so many. We had to let Long go because we had Edwards and so on. Who are all these academy guys who are good enough to get into the team who we have replaced with Aussies? How many Home grown players do you have in your 1-17 first squad? 3....is the answer. Compare that to us....6 over a third. Please dont come out with inaccurate facts eh.  |

If we do that, at least we can do it within the salary cap.
I don't respect Wigan because they are cheating twunts. |

Well Robinson wasn't a Wigan lad but was signed and brought through the Wigan academy, there are a few in there as well who are Wiganers who we did sign from other clubs but there are players in there who we did produce ourselves and people forget this. There is also Mick Cassidy as well missing off the list who was a very good servant for the club and he came through the academy. Yes we did sign players, but which club didn't? I suppose Saints didn't pay much for Newlove, Sculthorpe etc.. What about the Leeds team of 94/95? This was their starting line up in the cup final, how many of these players came through the Leeds ranks?
Alan Tait
Jim Fallon
Kevin Iro
Craig Innes
Francis Cummins
Garry Schofield
Graham Holroyd (3 goals)
Harvey Howard
James Lowes (1 try)
Esene Faimalo
Gary Mercer
Richard Eyres
Ellery Hanley (c)
Neil Harmon
George Mann
now compare that to Wigans
Henry Paul (1 try)
Jason Robinson (2 tries)
Va'aiga Tuigamala (1 try)
Gary Connolly
Martin Offiah
Frano Botica (5 goals)
Shaun Edwards (c)
Kelvin Skerrett
Martin Hall (1 try)
Neil Cowie
Denis Betts
Mick Cassidy
Phil Clarke
Andy Farrell
Paul Atcheson
Theres 5 in the Wigan team then that came through the Wigan academy and apart from Francis Cummins in the Leeds team, there isn't any others who Leeds produced, Lowes was signed from Hunslet.
So does that not say more about Leeds than it does about Wigan?

| I have respect for what Wire have done over the last two years and the way they play the game.
I also have respect for Wigan for being the biggest club in the game and their history as well.........
but i still hate both teams.  |
