Quote: Odem "That is the point. 9 of our starting 13 squad players came through our own academy. Could be 11 if we line up like this on saturday....

Tomkins
Charnley
Goulding
Carmont
Thornley
Powell
Smith
Mossop
McIlorum
Prescott
Farrell
Hock
Lockers

This season 22 Wigan players have played super league having coming through the Wigan system. Making shrewd signings in the current climate will not last long, it isn't sustainable.

The wire starting 13 on saturday will probably have 1 player who was brought through by them (Riley), with just two more on the bench in Harrison and Wood.'"

Quote: Wollyhood "They were hardly nothing games were they? The two league drubbings given to Wigan last season were a big reason we finished top. The last two knockout games are 1 win each, with both teams dishing out a massive knobbing. Neither really matters though. It's yet ANOTHER Wire v Wigan thread that descends into a childish tit for tat argument. It's embarassing.'"


So the league games and finishing top this year means nothing but last year it did?
Oh i get it now!
Someone better tell the wolfs board that. They keep telling everyone how rotation and not finishing top is the key to play off and grand final success, and if theres one club we should listen to for advice in that dept its the mighty Wolfs

And BTW, spanker started it so there!

It would be interesting to consider how many of each club's first team squad have been brought into the club as external signings. I would have a guess that there is very little difference between the number of signed players each club has in their squad.

It was about number of players in each club's first team squad that were externally signed rather than Academy produced.

From the Warrington list Bridge has yet to play first team so can't really be classed first team squad so I'm discounting him whilst Williams was through our Academy (recruited when released by Welsh RU at 1icon_cool.gif. That leaves 16 players signed externally.

With the Wigan list then obviously Thornley has been externally signed (as you acknowledge with your "resigned" reference) whilst Roberts has also been in your first team squad this season. That by my reckoning gives Wigan 14 players signed externally.

So 16 against 14 is not that big a difference when all said and done. Certainly an interesting alternative and radically different view than taht given in Odem's post.

Warrington signed him from Wath Brow - is it the same player? (and I wouldn't class him as first team squad anyway).

Yes, he played for Wigan about two or three years back and then returned to Cumbria. I was surprised when I saw him v Wigan earlier this year too see how big he was.

Until Warrington win a GF then they need to tread very carefully with the opinions, 2 CC's is good don't get me wrong but all great teams win GF's, Warrington need to step up, because currently they haven't!!
