Quote: sally cinnamon "What about promote a British halfback instead of just relying on imports?
Surely in Wigan's youth set up there is a good halfback worth promoting, Wigan have always had a great history of producing great halfbacks like Edwards, Gregory, even Sean Long although he ended up at the Saints.
At Warrington our youth set up is obviously crap compared to Wigan but we look to sign young British halfbacks like Myler and Ratchford, its the way the game needs to go forwards if we are to challenge the Aussies.'"
Hmm... so the way to go to beat the aussies is to pinch talented backs that other clubs have developed ???
No No No. Warrington (all SL teams) should develop their own and add to the pool of talent. that is the way to do it.
As for us - well I am sure that Wane will promote is they are good enough (just as happened with Sam). However, the current crop aren't quite good enough and the crop below that are a little too young. An old head will do for another 2 seasons until we see if a junior emerges to take a place by right.
