I didn't mention franchising. SL will evolve similar to the NRL.No need for SL academies as they'll have feeder clubs.The youth will be fed to the feeder clubs.

Can you put the link that says this so it can be justifiedicon_wink.gif

Don't know how the Aussie system works TBH- how do they decide who is and isn't in the equivalent of SL

And we'd be the feeder club.

Well that's the way I'd see it unless I'm missing something

So how many lads who started as juniors at East/Rangers are currently playing in first teams at Wigan Wire or Saints

How many have played Test match rugby in the last twenty years

Dominic man Fred I , josh woods micky higham sam Hopkins , ruddy, why do you just say Wigan watrrington and saints . We in this country tend to look for the kids who standout in Australia they look for attitude then coach the skills into them . We are way behind . A fully well structured academy will always produce . Or maybe you just keep paying into the pocket of over age . How many aussies have made a success from nrl to sl

I don't follow your point ?

you said Wiggin have first choice so how many have we lost to them and the others when we have not even been in the ball game
I don't know the answer thought you might

Are you just referring to East/Rangers players ?

That doesn't work as a point of reference , we wouldn't just recruit from those 2 clubs , the question you need to ask is how many players does SL ( it is SL we are discussing here ) need each year to replace retiring players ?

He's just being negative as usual

so none then.
im sure the coaches of the most winning team we have had in the country the cyclists will say they coach attitude as well very harshly as some have complained

nice to see coaches coaching session at lsv today we need fully trained coaches across all sports

how many aussies have made a success here surely too many to mention,how many have gone the other way very few

you obviously do not follow the amateur game as I do one of the hot talents in the game at the moment is a lad from east called Ryan Horne we St. Helens snatched him from under the noses of Wigan and the rest . Rangers also Have least 5 or 6 on the radar of prem clubs but you keep your rose specs on and I will keep to the grass roots and I promise you I will see more future internationals that you will ever see. Our coaches will start coming through and surpass any of those dollar pinching striped shirt aussies .

Bongser doesn't follow the amateur sides much it has to be said and you may very well be right in all that you say. He does however follow the forum hither and thither on various boards and thinks that your posting style reminds him of someone.

He may be wrong. He often is.
