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 |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

| Quote: saints35 bulls0 "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".'"
So Harrison Hansen is classed as a Wigan local? |

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. |

hanson is from salford and has been at wigan for years, but you are correct he is not eligable for england so i think we should be allowed to have half a point for him, and you can have half a point for graham
All im saying is i think its a bit rich that fans of other clubs to slate wigan for not producing juniors, when 90% of teams have had at least one player from wigan in their side over the last few years.
If every other team produced half as many as wigan have in the last decade we would not be in the international crisis we are. Who was the last good player produced by warrington, or Cas or Huddersfield? All of those towns are rugby only towns!
Yes i am also aware we are very poor at the moment in terms of keeping kids but that is something all wigan fans want improving just one man seems not to be in favor so we are at the moment screwed!

To be fair to Cas, they have 2 players in Westerman and Shenton who any club should be envious of. |

One minute your saying Graham shouldn't count because he was born about 12 miles from the ground, and the next your saying Hansen should count even though he was born in New Zealand.  |

No I'm saying that if Graham counts then so does Hansen as he was at Wigan at a younger age than Graham was at Saints.
We either count both or neither. |

| Quote: saints35 bulls0 "as for the Grand Final last year, 9 out of the starting 13 were home grown, something which Wigan can only dream of.
Players like Gardner and Wilkin may have been brought in from outside the club - but where would they have been now, had Saints not taken a risk on them as teenagers?'"
Wellens, Gardner, Gidley, Talau, Meli, Pryce, Long, Graham, Cunningham, Hargreaves, Gilmour, Wilkin, Flannery.
5 Home grown
3 Wigan
1 Bradford
4 Overseas
Wigan and bradford only porvided one less player than saints did.. |
