How much game time has Wildie had? I have never seen anything from him that makes me think I would be gutted if he left.

I'll be there and I guarantee there be plenty of 17yrolds in tha saints team

Exactly but because they wont play every round people wont be happy. Some young ones will be played. I called him pathetic because homegrown players arent being played now Willzay we arent all doom and gloom and were also not SL coaches so lets leave it to the pros...

Just a point, my expertise was at a time when age groups had two years between when I coached u 17s the next age down was15 and when I coached u19s the age down was 17 when I was 16 I wasn't frightened of owt and Im sure these lads feel the same so don't throw the age age thing at me16 to 19 still lads

Fair enough but the physical aspects have changed and you know they have.

I'm sure there will be but I'm more concerned with our lads.

Can people stop quoting Try Scorer as I have him on ignore and I'm still finding myself reading his inane and repetitive drivel when he's being quoted

Try scorer is a Normy legend

Did he teach you all how to spell?

With all due respect to the people moaning about Wildie missing out this week, could you name me a list of Super League clubs he would get regular games for?

At this stage, he's still an OK squad player....not ripping up any trees but doing ok when he gets a call....it's a long hard season and he will be involved again......he's played the last 2..this is a different game....we're playing the league leaders....the team who have looked best so far.....he didn't make the final 17.....the coach fancied another ahead of him.....it happens in sport.....as I said his time will come again.....if the lad has anything about him, he will just knuckle down, get on with it....realise he's part of the SQUAD and give his all when he's called on again....

It's like all these so called star youngsters that we have let go......could someone compile me a list of those that have gone from us and then come back and played at a better club than ours? No, thought not.....if they were good enough players they would have become established Super League players with us, and then moved onto better things with bigger clubs.....like the likes of Ellis, Westwood, etc.....the clue here is, that there isn't any of them that have.....not that I can think of anyway.....some just don't develop into top first grade players....

This season is purely about avoiding finishing bottom 2.....if that means playing a player like Ryan over Walshaw.....and Sjeka over Wildie, then that's fine with me......I think both those examples will prove over the course of the season that the overseas player is better than the homegrown....

The time when we will be able to start seeing big numbers of homegrown players all coming through and playing first team together is when people start backing the club on the terraces.....it's a simple equation that many fail to grasp.....if you are a bottom 3 or 4 side every season you will struggle to produce and bring through as many quality homegrown players as teams in the top 3 or 4....

Agree with this.

London?
