Who is we?
I have feck all to do with Wigan, I just happen to know how good the place is compared to Bishop Burton having visited and being shown around both.
You would not expect a lower mid table side to have the same academy set up as a champion team but Hull FC are not far off and that is down to Adam Pearson, Lee Radford and their staff.
As I said on another thread I do not recognise anything the RFL say, in this case their points scoring. They cannot organise themselves so I have no interest in how many points they have given one side over another.
An academy should be evalulated, in my opinion, by the number of players it has produced that are now playing in Super League or the Championships, not how many of it's kids handed in their homework on time (which is officially part of the criteria albeit worded a little differently).
