Quote ="The Stobart"Is that why our academy won the most games, by beating the likes of Wigan (home and away), Saints, Warrington and Leeds?
Off the top of my head I can think of Richie Myler, the one who plays for Warrington, or can you not think of him?

This is something I don't really understand. Apparently the RFL told SOC that Widnes needed to work on their youth structures, but was there really a problem with the Widnes academy at the time?
Seems to me that SOC took over just a few months after the RFL had decided who the 14 teams would be, but not before going through a nonsense process to try and justify it, and was told to just hang on for a few years.
