I think that our cup run does count as winning something. Just because SKY don't rate the competition doesn't mean we should believe them.



I think there are other reasons for us not dominating the way we did in the past. Mainly the salary cap and the likes of Scully and Jamie Lyon leaving the club. Such players cannot be replaced.

Whilst Pryce and Tony P are both good players either are replaceable, pryce a bit harder I`ll grant you, I`m looking more at the next five years at least.



Roby , Graham and Eastmond would be very difficult to replace and can be the backbone of our team for the majority of the next decade.

Warrington now have one of the best youth set up's in SL and in 3 or 4 years these players will be coming through in their droves,all in their early 20's with at least a decade ahead of them as wire first graders. Watch this space.

really?

who would you replace tony p with? personally i think hes immense and underrated here

The point blobby was making is your team is full of 30+ players next year and without huge turnaround by the time these youngsters are filtering in they are going to be 33/34+ and it would be highly unrealistic to expect a whole team to appear at once 1 or 2 a year maybe make and stay in the squad.



Warringtons recent work on their academy has been excellent but we all know even hugely promising at 16,17,18,19 takes a big step up to be a fully fledged top class pro.

I got told today that Meli had agreed a two year contract at Bradford (from a former Hudersfield player at Wigans U20's game at Orrell )

So not the same former pro that told you about Eastmond to Sale then?

But its these people who are often the engine of the team.



Its great having a sexy red Ferrari on the drive to look at, but if there's nothing under the bonnet it won't go far.

I believe Clough has indeed signed a new deal.

Did I ever say it was a former player or Sale?

Now, now, that was a stranger in a pub.

But she was quite pretty.
