Mugwump mocking mental illness for a second time -
"You are mentally ill and I can't indulge your madness any more"

Its getting better but will need time, Saints and Wigan have had prolonged periods at the top of the sport and extra funding to put into youth systems as have the other Super League clubs.
Paddy Flynn
Danny Craven
Alex Gerrard
Jack Owens
Grant Gore
Tom Gilmore
Declan Hulme
Almer Salvilla
Ed Chamberlain
Ryan Ince
Matt Whitley
Ted Chapelhow
Adam Lawton (currently in Australia)'"
I mean players that are actually playing in super league.
Why ain't Widnes signing the best young Widnes lads available at this time? They seem to be joining other clubs.
I watch a lot of amateur rugby and know saints, Wigan and Warrington scouts who are out every Sunday watching the u13s/14s/15s and 16s but where are Widnes scouts? Do they have scouts? |

Of course we have scouts, we look both local and wider, a lot signed recently www.widnesvikings.co.uk/news/art ... sters-onto
More local lads will filter into the team the longer we continue in Super League, your post comes across as a little ignorant to the difficulties the club has been through the last 10 years. Another reason why other 'Widnes' lads might choose to sign for another local club is money, we don't have the funding available like the clubs you mentioned. |

Listen pal. I'm not ignorant but I was in a meeting with Widnes regarding this 3 weeks ago and they basically told me they haven't done enough in local youth development and admitted they need to do better.
I must admit I was pretty alarmed at the stuff they was saying regarding youth but I'm not going to into all the details as the meeting was exclusive.
I'm not a Widnes lad but I'm told that the playing fields in Widnes are now all football pitches

Widnes currently have 30+ Widnes born lads at u13s age training twice a week a with the Academy staff at the stadium, they dont need to send out scouts they bring all the lads in so they have a look at everyone, not just the few that might catch the scouts eye on any given Sunday.

I know they have and it's called the pathway system. It was discussed in the meeting I was in attendance. They also train at Cowley in st Helen's with saints. Both are open to any child in that age range so the is good players and some woeful players.
I can also tell you that 4 of them lads are being looked at by saints, Wigan and Warrington. Two of them I have no doubt will be snapped up and it won't be for Widnes. |
