It is much easier to progress when joining a well oiled team rather than one that is always expected to lose and whose playing style puts them on the backfoot. It obviously must be me, but when I see Saints, Wigan and even Leeds' youngsters, they look like physically developed and robust young men. Our lads, apart from Staveley and in particular the backs, look like boys. Must feed them something different to us.
Wigan employ a dedicated strength and conditioning trainer for their youth players.
IF we are to be competitive , Myler needs to address our weakness in this area, in all playing squads at the club, irrespective of player recruitment .
