Quote: hula89 "Theres a Salford fan at uni and they take credit for coley too so i never questioned it. Tbh they are taking the Michael even their own fans (season ticket holder too) didnt know he was from Widnes. I also have a cousin who attends uni in salford and the pubs dont show rl even on request'"

He does or they do? I don't know one Salford fan who thinks he came from out youth system to be honest.

Quote: ABP' "We poached those players yes. But we have always maintained one of, if not the best youth policy in Rugby League so there's no reason to criticise Wigan for making those signings.

I've no beef with Salford what so ever, the same could be said of a couple of other Super League clubs. It's fustrating when Wigan get criticized for signing overseas players when they have a large number of home grown players within the squad. Salford are a perfect example of a club that seems to evade criticism when signing a clutch of foreign players (some of which out of favour with current SL clubs!) without promoting no/next to no youth, and it should be taken into consideration when franchise applictations are being discussed. Don't you agree?'"


Absolutely, we are going to be considered by many as obvious candidates to lose our franchise, if so I'd have no compliants if we really are proven the worst offenders.
I've never criticised any teams recruitment , and a ' clutch of foreign players ' can apply to a majority of current SL sides . All I know is the youth we have promoted in the past couple years have struggled for form & confidence as they need better / experienced players alongside them it's all about getting the balnce right and putting a competitive team on the field to build support at the same time .

I don't disagree with any of that.

Like I say, the reason of my post and using Salford as example is mainly aimed towards anti-Wigan critics on nationwide Rugby League TV and radio broadcasts and on messageboards such as RLFANS.

I understand your frustation mate.

You have a similar number of overseas players to most other teams in SL, but being Wigan, aka probably the most successful club in British RL ever, you are one of rugby leagues most hated clubs so people are going to snipe. At least you guys are bringing over some quality players and generally always have done.

You need to pick your battles more wisely, as currently it isn't all Wigan against the world. Good luck in the play-offs, hope you win the Grand Final.
