Which current youngsters have Saints produced? In the oldest team in Superleague.





SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Ainscough is useless in defence and under the high bomb. Yes he may have scored a lot of tries but the vast majority of these have been walk in tries. I seem to remember Colbon scoring loads of walk in tries last year but where is he now... Sam Tomkins is not a patch on Myler and Eastmond and apart from pace hasnt got much to his game. These two players in particular are your typical overated Wigan youngsters who wont be there in a few years time.

O'Loughlin works hard but seemingly many Wigan fans dont even rate him.

Hock is more often poor than he is good.

Joel Tomkins, O'Carroll, Prescott, McIlorum, Hansen are all average at best.


:lol: :lol:

I am sure that most fans would gladly have the oldest team in Super League if that meant them sitting on top of the league and regularly winning honours.

Crap but at the same time not that much worse than established Super League clubs like Wigan, Bradford and Warrington. At least Salford fans are realistic.

But I thought "the Saints way" was to have a team of outstanding locally produced youngsters.

Make your mind up. :roll:

[quote="Eurob0y"]The first paragraph, in the McManus article, should be heeded by all clubs bar Leeds.

It still amazes me that clubs like Wigan, with an abundance of local youths playing, still cant really produce any young players of note. I also cant understand why randoms like Hull Kr, dont even have a youth policy.

3 of the 4 last men of steel have all been produced by St Helens RLFC.
The 2 leading teams in SL, Saints and Leeds, have both relied on local talent, whilst teams like wigan still persist in bringing over $hite like Tim Smith, Amos Roberts, some fat hooker etc. I wont even begin to go into the foreign $hite at teams like Hull KR, Hull FC, Castleford etc.

Its time for these clubs to put their resources into the youth system.[/quote
