Quote Danril="Danril"I think we've made some big strides in our Youth Systems the last few years. We put all our eggs in the first team basket to ensure we got our franchise last time round and it was pointed out as a weak area but we have definitely made hanges for the better.
It's all too easy to criticise but, as we are signing a couple of good lads from Wigan, Bradford and Cas this off-season we have lost the likes of Burgess to the Bulls, Bravo to Leeds etc in the past.
Wigan are renowned for their youth system. We're not going to be producing players in such numbers for a while yet but we are heading in the right direction. And this lads are still nowhere near the finished article. If they make it to the top our systems will have played a part in that.'"
That would be my thought. You needed to get it right on the pitch first. Would expect over the next few years you to be producing more players to the ones you have produced, now your established and able to compete with Bratfort and Leeds for players in the area.
