Agreed. Can only make our acamedy stronger and more desirable knowing we are a club who strongly believes in promoting within.
It'll be great for the future of our club.

| as far as i can see, every player in the squad is giving their all at the moment, so absolutely no reason to drop anyone and replace them with an academy lad.
i'm sure some of them will get their chance but you can't just start bringing academy lads in 4 games before a semi final, unless needs must?

| I was just on the 220 bus and I'm pretty sure I saw Hampshire and Fages sharing a big box of wings from Marstons. Thewlis must be playing them off against one another. Looked like they also had a chicken sandwich apiece, under their arms. Hampshire's was loaded with mayo and Fages had coleslaw on his. Didn't see any chilli sauce anywhere mind. Clearly these boys lack the stones to make it to the pinnacle of the game.

Chase and Gaskell to Leigh ( apparently)
Brierley from Leigh to ?
Hampshire no idea.
Still think we need back up for Brough both in the short term and in the longer term.
Out of all the " top " teams we are the one that is more dependant on one player than any other.

Agree with that, except that at nearly 33 years old we should be looking to replace Brough outright fairly soon, not just a backup option. He might have a long contract, but he's not going to get any better than he is now.
I hope succession planning is going on as we speak. I'd be amazed if Anderson isn't painfully aware of Brough's age.
We don't want to end up as rudderless as Wire without Lee Briers.

| And we depend on Brough like Wire did on Briers. Halves as good as those two are pretty hard to find.

You're not wrong.
Is there any young lads coming through the Academy that might be of the same class? Even then, they'll take a while to get up to speed.
If there isn't, where does Brough's replacement come from I wonder?
