Wigan and Saints are.

Leeds have been they Youth system seems to be struggling at the moment.

About equal with the rest of the clubs.

Wigan went through a few years when they didn't produce too many, they are now seeing the rewards.

At the moment we have the best youth system we have ever had, hopefully we will see the rewards in the next couple of years.

I'm sure we'll soon coach the talent out of them all!

This comment was funny the first 100 times I read it.

I don't think we are that far behind most SL clubs, there are one or two exceptions like Saints and Wigan but we have brought through talent like Houghton and Briscoe in recent years and both are very highly rated players.

They've signed a 6ft 6in 18stone 16 year old Tongan on a 2 year deal who is an absolute monster.

I tend to agree with that, but the difference seems to be that other sides are willing to put their youngsters in the side when they have injuries, where we prefer to bring players in on loan.

True, we've got a few youngsters in ft training now they should come in when injuries hit.

Saints and Wigan maybe have that luxury? If Agar is under pressure he maybe does not want to rely on kids? Either way the Wigan kids did okay last night I felt.

Can you imagine the reaction if RA played a glut of kids and got mullered , jesus H Christ it would be a free for all...

agree with the Wigan comment Paul, thought Farrell had a smashing match and the young big uns played well too, how proud must Tompkins mum and dad be today , what a show from both of em !!

Thought Joel was the more impressive last night. I just want to smash Sam's face in every time I see him



The likes of Farrell, Tuson, Prescott etc all look very accomplished.

I would like to see Brough in black and white but thats history i guess !!

Aye we had a good scrum half and then got rid.

Prescott really impresses me, fearless and willing at all times , wish he had signed
Farrell has all the markers there to be a class act too
