That wasn't really your point. Just because they're not from overseas, doesn't mean that you 'brought them through the ranks'.

Not with England, no. I think they're a lost cause.

| Tony Smith is a very good coach but no way could he have done what Madge did with Wigan during that first season.
On 'homegrown players' We have 12 in our 19 man squad Wire have 6 in theirs. Although over recent years Wire have improved massively in the development of their younger players IMO.
Can't wait for the game tonight, should be very tight, can't call it!

We had one the previous week. Madge made you a more consistent team, you had made the previous three grand final eliminators, he just took you the next step. Tony Smith took over a very underachieving Leeds team and turned them into double grand final winners with a team containing many players who came through the Leeds youth set-up. Tony Smith took over a team of underachievers at Wire. As far as I can remember Tony Smith has signed Mathers, Solomona, Atkins, Myler, Hodgson and Joel Monaghan. In the same time frame Wigan have brought in Gleeson, Deacon, Lima, Hoffman, Finch. Not much difference their to be honest.
Mathers
Smith
Walker
Calderwood
Maguire
Burrow
Sinfield
Hall
Diskin
JJB
Kirke
Ablett
Should I go on? It's clear that Tony Smith hasn't got a clue.

That's the point though, Tony Smith took a team from ninth or wherever it was to 3rd and to repeat as challenge cup winners. Madge took you from grand final eliminator to grand final winners. Not that big a step. Both are great coaches and both set's of fans are happy with what they have at the minute. Let's leave it there.

So you could argue a strong case that Warrington have seen a greater improvement under Smith than Wigan have under 'madge'.

I bow to your superior intellectuality and your wonderful debating skills.
How can you argue with someone that puts their point across in such a structured and well informed manor.

Tonight i hope there is blood,sweat and tears on that pitch and wigan to be infront on the score board (which i think will happen) i think our defence will edge it for us
The diffrence between the 2 teams is wire have paied out for players to come in and wigan have brought most through the ranks with a good coach showing them what to do smith wouldn't have been able to do that at wigan'"
Unbelievably, there is a place in Wigan, called Thicknesse Avenue...
I think we've found a resident

I was asked about that and said what happened if you would like i could post what your players was up to?
I do find it funny that you try to look for a bite so you can slam the ban hammer down which is pretty childish
