Riley?

Jack Dearden made a very Freudian slip at one point:

"Shaun McRae will accept that as he's coach, he'll have to take it on the chin and I suspect Steve Simms will too."

Simms has by far the cushiest job in Super League. In theory he's involved in player recruitment, but when players underperform he can simply pass that back to the coach failing to get them to perform. The bloke's always seemed like a total smarmy leech to me, but most Salford fans always go for the Head Coach's jugular.

Good solid kid, but he doesn't strike me as being a stellar player. Can you see him playing for England?

Maybe in a few years who knows

Every day of the week before Gardner.

From them lists above both teams had 5 players through their youth system so was a pointless argument whoever brought it up

I would have said the same thing a couple of years ago but the lad has worked incredibly hard on his game and his attitude is second to none...I can see him playing for England one day yes..

did anyone else hear the warrington fan who rang up after it complaining about him saying 'he seen a forward pass through the radio' and said that 'scousers are only good for stealing'

No, thank God.

ah I see you have now changed your tune and the youth system has to produce "Internationals"...i didnt see that statement in your original post.

I just posted both clubs last cup winning teams as a discussion point and it clearly shows 4 players from Each side that have come through the ranks..

the 4 in that Warrington side are still "youths" two of the Saints 4 are certainly not, Roby is a shadow of his former over hyped-ness and Graham came close last season to being run into the knackers yard by his coach.

So on that basis I think our youth system is doing fine at the minute

anyway take a pat on the back youve come a long way from those days of buying your Sculthorpes and Newloves and breaking transfer records

I counted 5 from each...looks like I could have been wrong

No, I said it would be interesting to see if your youth system was up to the task. I didn't say I knew the answer and I didn't bring our youth system into it. You brought up the Cup Final lineups Sir.

Q How can you tell when a plane load of Saints fans has landed?

A You can still hear the whining after the engines have stopped.
