Quote: BIG HOWARD "could it be that top aussies can earn big bucks in oz now whereas previously top aussies would go to wigan or saints etc to win trophies ,now with wage capping top players stay in oz'"


That's the same for all clubs though and Wigan for all our faults have a fantastic junior set up, which is where the future lies. Last year the club spent 300k on junior development.

Quote: Pemps "In the past 10/20 years you can count on one hand the amount of real quality British centres that have emerged. Gleeson, Senior, Newlove, Connolly...

It seems to be a real problem for us to produce them. In Australia they seem to have enough for half a dozen teams.'"

He was. However overall he's proven to be a better SL centre over his career.

Watkins is the most frustrating English player IMO. He can be world class for a couple of months but then seems to go right in to his shell and has long spells of doing not much.

Players don't really leave Leeds (it's all about the love of course) but if any player should go to the NRL and learn to become more consistent it's him.
