Thanks

ha ha

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.

Who cares

Not Widnes so it seems. It's a football town now.

So what Rugby is a minority sport and is in St Helens too. So your point of view is bull.

Double winners and also have many many bike grown players so my point stands.

Been new to Superleague and to produce Jack Owens, Flynn, Declan Hulme, Craven, Gerrard, Gilmore, Gore, Lawton, and others left due to money. Mullaley and Richard Myler where Widnes Academy players too. The way you are talking it is like we have zero. Anyway why does it concern you anyway?

You need to ask Ste O Connor and the RFL? Finances are also solid and we are progressing from the postion 4 yrs ago. Still a lot of youth in a short period of time in the top flight, and like your club not had many years in Superleague. Their is more than youth in a criteria too, and seen as you know all teams finances and business plans, I am sure you know best. Now bore off to your own board, as this is very tedious and boring.

Get over it as nearly a new season and the result stands.

I was also at one of the Pathway meetings and Phil Finney admitted that in the past they hadn't done enough to scout players but were now doing things differently, hence the Pathway.
