I'd take any of The Wigan backrow forwards over Clough.(Doesn't mean I don't rate Clough)
Obviously there are the two International hookers at Saints.

You're quite welcome to Wellens.

Graham over Eamonn (Doesn't mean I don't rate O'Carroll)
Goulding before Armstrong.

On Friday night Leeds had 11 players out of 17 that had come through their academy and that excluded Burrow

How many are locals?

"Wigan - A local team for local people"

Marketing at it's best

The Clough one is a big call, although back row is probably Wigans strongest area of the pitch.

Graham / O'Carroll is a no brainer

Amazed you wouldn't take Wellens given your full back strength.

Cunningham / Roby are the best combination in SL I feel.

Goulding has the edge due to his experience so far, can't fairly judge Armstrong on just one SL game.

Noble saying this is somewhat daft, as mentioned, given his reluctance to put more than one young player in per week.

I did not see the show but if he did say it what chance have the youngsters at wigan got with him in charge????

Some people obviously didn't understand.

What he said was that EVERY Superleague Club should be allowed to bring in ONE top class Rugby Union player.
Only £50K of that players salary should be counted on the salary cap.

The reasons

1) We could target top class British players

2) It would be good publicity.

3) It would help the International squad.

With the obvious dearth of quality outside backs in our game, it's not such a stupid idea.

Difficult one this, I can see the merits of this if the correct players were signed.

I would prefer to reward the promotion of youngsters through our own academies though.

Let a fixed % of a players contract be removed from the salary cap if they stay with the club that has developed them.

As you know that's something I've always advocated.
The Rugby Union one is interesting. Another Jonathan Davies, yes another Iron Man Davies no.

But for International Rugby League it could be great help.
