It's no more stupid or deluded than what was written by 'The Clan':

I’m not denying that Wakefield have a good academy that is bringing through young talent to SL, but Widnes’ academies have also been doing this. There are 6 players currently placed in various SL squads that have come through our academies and we have 7 of our own youngsters in our own current squad. The RFL have deemed our accademy system as
'World Class'Also:

Continued development of youngsters that has seen former stars Richie Myler and Adam Sidlow progress. Current team includes 6 club developed youngsters including Paddy Flynn (currently being monitored by Saints)
This is being achieved while in the lower leagues. As a SL club we could achieve much more and tap into areas around us, where no direct competition exists for support and young talent.

The Widnes v Wire has been a derby game since the game was invented, whether it be as Lancashire or Cheshire. This alone makes it a more genuine RL derby than Wakey v Cas could ever be, since Castleford weren’t even around when our derby was created. It has been a substantially larger event over the years, and that has only changed because of our relegation and subsequent sojourn in the lower leagues.

Like I said, we got that four seasons ago, when in SL with a team near the bottom on the league.
I’m not having a go at Wakey here, but trying to address the blind ignorance of ‘The Clan’s’ desperate scraping of the barrel, trying to find positives where they just don’t exist.
I would believe that when I see it, all I can say is you have never brought that to BV.
