Farrell and Mossop are 2 players rated very very highly those 2 long with Hansen should all be pushing to take the hopefully vacated spot of Phil Bailey in 2010.

Many clubs take on and produce players of potential but somewhere along the line i think t Reserve level they faulter, for a number of resons, but i firmly believe the main problem is the poor standard of that level and it is an issue that must be addressed if we are to ensure we maximise the potential conversion rate of these players.

It is no use for example having plyers like Tomkins and Eastmond scoring between 3-5 tries a game, it does nothing for them.

Overall you are right you can only play to the opposition. The plus side of that for such as Mossop and Farrell who i got wrong, he plays in the reserves does he not, is that with showing more promise than some of the others' at least they get given more time and patience and first opportunity
in the 1st team squad. The problem is they cant keep them all, the others fortunately will be allowed to go to other sl clubs, which is Wigins loss and everybody elses' gain which to Wigins cost has come back to haunt them to an extent.

Saints & Cas

Saints have the likes of Wheeler/Eastmond etc that look like they'll be something special.

Cas have a Stand Off in the u18's that comes from Chorley called Ryan Brierley who looks class in the 18's and recently earned himself a new contract.

Wakefield have a few good players as well, especially Southernwood (is he still injured or back playing?)

Wakefields Matty Wilde is a new young prospect he is currently playing for the 18s but is known in 21s aswell. He already has several national honours and is a tremendus player. It is a over used catch phrase but he definatley is one to watch out for

Think there are a few god players in the academy at wakefield, one for me who i think will make the grade in the next few years will be chris annakin. But i can't help think that salford and cas will be the ones to look out for in a few years
