Quote ="Rogues Gallery"Thank you. A well reasoned response.
I know I referred to results, but I was alluding as much to performance. Last year there were lads in your side (U1icon_cool.gif who made decent breaks but couldn't pass the ball properly. The passing of a ball is fundamental to RL, but it was painful to watch. I was speaking to a couple of fans (I presume they were parents of one of the players) and they were scathing of the whole junior coaching set up.
Yes I'm a Wigan fan but I'M a rugby league fan. I look forward to watching really good young players progressing. Rhys Evans at Warrington looks really good as does Lee Gaskell at Saints. Josh Charnley and Stefan Marsh at Wigan are exciting talents ([uCharnley IMO is already a better prospect than Ainscough[/u)
I remember, McGuire, Burrow and Bailey coming through. I remember Bailey and Hock getting stuck in to the Aussie schoolboys when we beat them twice in two games.
As I said originally it wasn't a pop at Leeds more of wanting to know why things have changed so drastically.
Thanks for your reply.'"
I will tell him that - he lives three doors from me!
Also I did say following your major success last season that this team, should the warriors keep them, would be challenging for the real major honour (1st team Grand Final win - over Stains) in the very near future. I also dont rate Ainscough either. Good Luck on Friday and lets hope your lot dont get their usual bout of stage fright!!
