Quote ="Tingley Rhino"Beating the world champs is a good start, but it only gets you two league points, the bigger picture lies in the under 20s and under 18s where you conceed 60 and 80 points. As far as youth developement goes your light years behind. Three years ago Wigan Identified why Leeds were so forward as a club in comparison, they have changed there approach and backed the youth system more and hey presto they are now challenging the Rhinos. Its not rocket science, while you allow players like Brisco to leave like he did, things will never change.

Your spot on and Adam Pearson has mentioned this numerous times about the lack of investment in the youth set up,coaching facilities etc from the last board and he has invested heavily recently, but this will take time to filter through.
One thing i noticed when i have watched the under 20/18s is the size difference, London,Wigan whoever have looked bigger and faster, our lads have the heart but got beat by more physical players. Now with our new set up hopefully we will catch up.
I think while Adams here the Briscoe fiasco wont happen again.
