What your youth - first team production? Yes I agree.

Your intrinsic, forensic knowledge of how Warrington have total disregard for the Junior set-up isto be applauded.

That's why the key bit is youth TO first team!
What's the point if having the best U20's in the land if your not going to feed them into first team?

Your only on this thread look for Wire rejects to fill your squad



You also play in a league where we send our young players to learn the trade.

Why your sticking your nose I don't know but I think we can't get another Aussie in as Trent took Kings place, at this moment in time we have lost an Aussie and a Kiwi an signed an Aussie along with 2 young English players something you seemed to of missed on your trolling mission.

Key word! Not that I disagree two very good signings (especially Hill) and the right way to go IMO but still doesn't dismiss the point of YOUR youth production does it?

It's quite simple, we give our young players opportunities, lots of them. If they're any good they play for us. If they're not any good, after somewhere between 30-100 games for us they go shipped out to lesser sides, like your lot hence why you end up with Pickersgill, Hulse, Noone, Penny etc and their may be more to come.

All the young lads get their chances, some cement their places like Cooper & Harrison, others don't.

The ones who get shipped out can't bemoan lack of opportunities, just that they didn't grasp them. At some point, all of Pickersgill, Bracek, Penny, Riley, Williams, McCarthy, Mitchell, Noone and on and on ... Have all been first choice, have all had runs of games in the side but have never done enough to date to become a fixture as others have.

You get the impression a few more might leave this year or get moved on to gaffs like yours to allow the next batch the opportunities to cement their places.

Using your own definition; feed. Williams, Evans O'Brien (who, but for injury would have probably played more than planned) have been brought in a little at a time.

See Buderus/Diskin

Why come on here with your silly trolling comments when you've already confirmed the signings of 2 journeymen (Cross & that donkey from bradford that kicks goal.... his name escapes me) that will be taking the place of some amazing talent you have coming through your Academy ?

In Tony Smith We trust. If he thinks we need another winger, whether they be an import or from another SL club, then so be it.

Your as bad as some of the Worriers that come on here stressing about our transfer policy. Starting worrying about the small club you support & next years impending Wooden Spoon. Should keep you busy for a while.

That would be Patrick Ah Van who was responsible for a large amount of our 60-odd points a fortnight ago. Personally, I'm delighted that Widnes have signed him

If a team has high quality, experienced quota players, there's a good opportunity for the younger players to learn from them. This seems to be the case at Wire. I hope Ah Van will be helping the Widnes youngsters with their defence.

Yeah thats the bloke. Watched him last night on Sky.... absolute gash..... will fit in well at Wierdnes.

when we sign the coming out of retirement 30 year old Mark Gasnier The pies and these Widnes fans will explode........

Good one!

P.s. I'm not wumming in any sense, if you want to be ignorant to the fact our sport has ZERO international media pull and that's mainly in part to the fact we don't produce enough top class players full stop.

People say if they don't make the grade they go but 2 things, how quick do you judge? And 2 is that not a question for your staff if only Harrison is a guranteed first teamer despite being a full time SL outfit from day one? (Ok granted their may have been an overhaul for that reason but time will tell and at the moment needs building on).

Shame McCarthy hasn't got a new contract with youguys. Thought he looked useful during his Wakefield loan spell.

We need a loose if morro is not resigned and would not be disappointed if he came back.

I'm hearing from a source who's reliability is untested, that we are in the process of signing Rangi Chase.... i cant see it myself though.

On their board the talk is he's signed a further two year extension with no 'get out' clause, due to be announced next week.

I can't see us getting him to be honest.

i couldn't see the signing happening this season anyway... why would we sign a stand off when we have just given briers another year?.... doesn't make sense.

and having signed ratchford, adn with go'b in the wings.

File alongside sculthorpe and sinfield and all the others

Heard on grape vine that we have signed rangi chase..Anyone else heard this?

signed a 2 year extension with cas with no get out clause

Thought not! Father in law talks cac!

Hopefully that's true. Better that he stays at Cas than strengthen Leeds or Wire.

hes a decent player in a pee poor team yeah he would be a billy bonus but nothing more really when we already have briers/myler now ratch and young Gob looking like a great prospect

Anybody heard anything about us signing him? Heard a rumour last night, not sure how true it is though
