I'm not sure about you but if a guy told me to go and hurt another human being I would like to think I am strong enough to make my own decision on what to do.

There are other coaches that are far 'dirtier' than Wane but they like to keep it to themselves. Wane talks the truth and people don't like it.

I'm not sure when it started but I seem to remember this being discussed 3 years ago and falling through so perhaps that was when it started.

I could do a bit of shopping while im there .It hasnt been Central Park since 1999.

Why the hell do I want to walk round a Tesco.You do know that Wigans academy's play at Orrells old ground which was purchased rather dodgilily by good old mincing Maurice and his sidekick Whelan.

This sign big enough for you boys?

I was actually blown away by it, they have done an amazing job.

Really impressive and something the new merged Academy must strive to be similar to in my opinion.

Can't this thread just be about the games? There's a thread for the merged academy already on the board. Does it really matter where Wigan's academy is to us?

Ahah didn't know that was round there so I apologize for not knowing and our set up is rather good thank you,tied into one of the leading colleges in Bishop Burton and doing rather well thanks.

It is not a patch on Wigan's place but still very good.

Perhaps with the savings made during the merger they can upgrade to the same level?

But but Wigans and Leeds academy's are soooo good,sooner doper to everyone else's

Last lot of grading a announced,we had a Grade A along with you,so do we upgrade to A+

Who is we?

I have feck all to do with Wigan, I just happen to know how good the place is compared to Bishop Burton having visited and being shown around both.

You would not expect a lower mid table side to have the same academy set up as a champion team but Hull FC are not far off and that is down to Adam Pearson, Lee Radford and their staff.

As I said on another thread I do not recognise anything the RFL say, in this case their points scoring. They cannot organise themselves so I have no interest in how many points they have given one side over another.

An academy should be evalulated, in my opinion, by the number of players it has produced that are now playing in Super League or the Championships, not how many of it's kids handed in their homework on time (which is officially part of the criteria albeit worded a little differently).
