It shows how innately ridiculous the view is that you're somehow at fault for releasing youngsters.

We'd have nowhere to play most them.

There are and they are cousins I think. Neil is the son on one of our top scouts I think but I am not they both played for our academy?

He was on the scholarship but didn't go any further.

Cheers Alex, I knew that when I taught him he had training and stuff at Wigan but never knew the extent of scholarship/contact he was under.

Martin and Neil Roden definitely played for the Academy after playing for St Pats prior to that.

Quote: talulah "

I thought that, but I also knew maybe I was biased at the time.
Not the only to slip throught the net, go back to 95 ish when we signed a lad called Stuart Fisher and turned down Paul Deacon!!

Deacs got some stick at college for being an "Oldham" player from lots of our academy at the time. Good to know 14 years on he made his rugby do the talking icon_biggrin.gif

This thread has got me thinking about names and faces from when i used to watch academy games.
What ever happened to Darryl Cardiss? David Whittle? Michael Whitehead? just to name a few that have popped in my head in the last 10 mins.

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

He was on a Wigan scholarship but moved to Leeds academy when he was 15 / 16.
