Quote DemonUK="DemonUK"Laughable, no you were spoutng how good your youth were and that you were competing with SL clubs, and now according to a post above you'll be keeping just half a dozen. Good luck in SL, make the most of it as I reckon it will all come tumbling down in 5 years or so. Good job SOC has deep pockets, but for how long.'"
competing? you mean tw&ting them all? all season. which is what happened. you make it seem like we were bullting. but its clearly what happened. our academy team finished top of the pile, in both the league and group stages of the season.
its not 'spouting' or hubris to point that out and be proud of it.
i suggested half a dozen, i am not the supreme oracle of all that widnes may do regarding youngsters and contracts in future and you know that full well. there are around half a dozen who have been in and around the first team the past 18 months. beyond that i couldnt say how many will be kept on.
to infer as you have done, unless widnes win superleague with a team comprised entirely of 18 year olds born on lower house lane it will be a failure is utter jizz, and foolish in the extreme.
im sure i can smell a hint of envy coming through at the end there.
