Considering that people on here keep banging on about how good your youth set up is, and have been for years, what's your excuse?'"
Who has been banging on about our youth set up?
There was a massive overhaul of the youth development last year so even the club have recognised it is struggling... |

Got a feeling it would be much easier for Wigan to integrate the likes of Tomkins, Ainscough, Mossop, Thornley etc. into a confident and successful first team squad rather than the one we currently have. That said, surely they couldn't do worse than some of our "experienced first teamers" appear to be doing?

as for the Grand Final last year, 9 out of the starting 13 were home grown, something which Wigan can only dream of.

I'm fed up of reading this absolute rubbish.
Wigan brought through loads of youngsters but at the time there was the 20/20 in force which meant a club could only pay 20 players a living wage.
RFL/SL clubs also included the salaries of younger players in the salary cap so if you'd twice as many quality younger players as other clubs you couldn't pay them (SC) and couldn't have them in numbers (20/20)
Super League clubs and RFL have now abolished the 20/20/25 rule and amended the salary cap. Hence other clubs now are better able include their youngsters than they have been in years past, if they had any!
Andy should perhaps look at the fact that there are only half as many British players in SL now compared to when it started in 1996.
Also Saints are looking good with their younger players and Wigan's younger players are nowhere?
So which only other club competed with Saints in the U21 & U18s finals last season?
Clue, they are west of the Pennines and it wasn't Salford or Wire.

Atleast they would relish the chance of a first team place and make the most of it |

I will be happy if we finish 4th, and have blooded a few youngsters along the way. |

...and Graham.
and Clough and Roby on the bench.
5 out of 17 coming through the academy into a succesful team - something Wigan can only dream of.
