| Quote QuiteRightlySo="QuiteRightlySo"Actually, yes it does. However, I considered Warrington to be forward thinking for making some astute decisions and signings, even if those signings aren't paying off at the moment.
Capturing Joey Johns was quite a coup at the time, as was Morely, but if you want to talk about home-grown talent, then yes, it does sound like Warrington.....
Matty Blythe – Wolves Scholarship – England Academy
Andy Bracek – Leigh Miners / Wigan - England Academy
Chris Bridge - Oldham - England Academy
Lee Briers - local - but ok, not young!
Jon Clarke – Wigan - local enough to Warrington
Mike Cooper – local born, England Academy - highly rated
Martin Gleeson – born Wigan
Mark Gleeson – Wolves Acedemy
Ben Harrison – signed from Barrow as a schoolboy – Warrington schools U11 England Academy England Academy
Paul Johnson – Wigan
Lee Mitchell – Warrington academy – England U17
Adrain Morley – Salford Born
Rob Parker Leigh East
Kevin Penny – Wolves Academy – England Academy
Steve Pickersgill – local lad – joining Wolves at aged 14. Warrington Academy, England Academy
Chris Riley – Warrington born – England Academy
Paul Wood – Warrington Academy. England’s international player of the season 05.
All the above are local born players in the Warrington area and/or have come through the ranks at Warrington.
Please don't believe that Hull is the only club norturing their 'home grown talent' .....and that their talent is full of world beaters.'"
Out of that list you have 7 players they have trained, on sunday Hull had 9 on the park playing. |

I'm not saying Hull don't nurture home grown talent. I'm saying don't think that no other clubs do ALSO.....
ie Warrington is forward thinking for norturing home grown talent, coups like capturing the services of Joey Johns and signings such as Morley.
If you don't agree that the Johns signing was an astute marketing and club decision ... before anyone else had thought of it, then that's up to you ! |

Can't be bothered to trawl through all 20 something pages.
Just after I got the text about Agar, I bumped into a former player (from the early 1980's) who was involved with the original Gateshead set up. having played with Alan Agar, He was happy for Richard that he got the job. He also said, Hull and Wakefield were the only clubs he would ever consider going back to work for in the DOR role.
To put it mildly, it would be the best thing that could happen to Hull FC IF this happend!
BTW, Winking Sebasteeno and your Steve Folkes dead cert. You remain full of bovine menure  |

That's who I was thinking, but was he involved with Gateshead? I think the rest fits. |

Yep, that sound like wire and not us.'"
Personally I couldn't give a flying fook where they come from as long as they are good enough. |

For those of us who weren't around in the early 80's, who is Toppo? |
