Your right mate how can i argue, in nearly ten years of winning everything, your great academy has produced about 4 regular internationals. And im being kind in counting cunningham there If only the rest of us could keep up!
No club has produced (and wasted in my opinon) more youngsters than wigan so dont come the big one pretending your the only ones who can bring kids through |

does it matter?
at what age are you drawing the line of when a player is "local" or not? do they have to have been conceived, born and brought up within a drop goals length from the stadium?
he has played for Saints at all levels since he was 15 years old - he is a product of the Saints academy and is rightly classed as "local". |

Add to that list hanson, ocarroll, prescott, briscoe, wild, hodgeson (at a push) gilmore (came through the 21's) i could probably go on but i cant remember anymore sorry.
You can keep long though as i think it was over a decade ago since he was at wigan but if not we will have him in too |

how many caps has Briscoe got?
Hanson is one of the overseas contingent at Wigan.
O'Carroll and Prescott playing for Ireland is a bit tenuos - but I guess in terms of this thread, you are correct.
Wild is the only one of those who is "top level" international quality. |
