Quote ="fc baldy"Crooks,Lineham and Houghton are tied to deals and are progressing nicely...the only way they can progress is by playing,which they are and they will have a good team rd them when we get players back...as for Briscoe...if you want him,you can have him...Lineham will be a far better player.
You have only been developing your own after yrs of buying Aussies but dont forget,when Pearson took over the youth set up was basically poop under the other mob that run us and it will take us a couple of more yrs to develope the players we really need...since Gentle came we have blooded,Shaul,Lineham,Crooks,Nicklas(now gone).Bowden,Cunnigham,Hadley,Kent,Green,J.Briscoe so dont think we are doing so bad.'"
We always developed our own, we just didn't keep them although the reasons for losing youngsters then was all our own doing.
Ian Lenagan is the main reason we're now run correctly.
