Well that isnt true is it. Especially considering there are 6 Challenge Cup medals in the hands of lads from the Leeds academy which they won whilst playing for Warrington. And one of those was also a challenge cup winner with Leeds, so thats 7 right off the bat.

1. Why are you replying to a post made over a year ago, have you been in hibernation and just woken up?
2. When you finally made a post it didn't make any sense to me, what are you trying to say?

History being the optimum word. When did you last win a trophy?

| Maybe this focus on weights helps to prevent injury? Saints don't seem to be lucky with injurys?

That only started when we changed our conditioner, which suggests we have a crap conditioner, although the club don't see it that way obviously since we still have the same conditioner. When Apollo was in charge we just got the odd injury each season as you'd expect in a contact sport.

Yes he is back at Warrington, the St Helens coaching staff told me this when they were in Australia a few weeks ago.

Current players produced by Leeds who have challenge cup winners medals (off the top of my head) :
Adrian Morley = 3
Richie Mathers = 2
Gareth Carvell = 2
Ewan Dowes = 1
Gareth Raynor = 1

| Quote: Paul Youane "Yet another example of Warrington's neglect of a home-grown Wally Lewis right under their noses.
Shocking by the club how they rely upon proven, experienced youth rugby scouts and coaches to assess the worth of schoolboys rather than rely upon the players' parents and mates. It really needs sorting out before we end up with an Academy team that tops the table.'"
Hells Bells. I know me and you have had our disagreements on here, over the last 18 months, but this post is spot on.
I know someone (Warrington fan) who's lad was on one of the club's youth schemes, and the club decided not to take this lad up to the next level. Cue the dad to dish out the usual (and this is practically verbatim) "Oh Warrington, clueless they are, bloody clueless, don't know what they're missing out on with 'em not signing our xxxxxx. Gone to Saints now. Top drawer I tell you, top bloody drawer. You should see their gym....awesome....knocks Warrington's into the shade. Train 'em proper an all, all ball skills, nowt else"
Crikey, from what I've heard/read recently (apart from the overseas players we'll have), in 2015, we'll have a team running out at the HJ, all built like Frankenstein's monster, but with all the skills of Professor Steven Hawking.
Every club lets the odd one slip through the net...it's something we've (all) got to deal with.
We've just won the LLS
Our lower level teams did well last year
And we've got an 8 page thread about some kids not being taken on
I'd hate to be Salford...I tell you

| I'd agree with all that Lefty. The fact is that we're starting to get it right all through the club. We appear to have the right staff at last and will benefit from it over the next few years.
