I'm guessing, training with guys like these (And I know from speaking to people at the club about how much influence Phil Bailey had over them for a couple of years) that that it will only help them mature and pick up the finer points of the game and most importantly, teach them the right Habits in training etc.
Given your scenario we may as well get rid of Pat/Roberts/Carmont/Finch/Tommy/Lima/Hoffman etc and put all the kids in?
We've been there before and it didn't quite work to plan.'"
NO it didn't work did it?
when will these people learn we need these overseas players in our league/team to raise the standard!!
It's all-right calling for less/no overseas players in our team. But what have the youngsters got to look up to and what gets you as a fan excited to go to watch the team week in week out? a team full of Wigan trained/born payers would be fantastic BUT its never going to happen and keep us at the top where we expect to be (where we should be given our history imo) not that i am biased or owt god forbid!!!!
I want to see overseas players at Wigan (Bloody Good ones) as they WILL help raise the standard of our young players and make us stronger as a team.
God it was so exciting watching "The Hoff" at Cardiff!!!!
Richards and Roberts last season cant wait for both regain full fitness this season.
Rant over but i stand by my views overseas players are needed but in the right balance. And, I think Wigan's is right....... WE still have a Quota spot available iirc?????
although i may be mistaken on the quota spot.
the only young local back we have outside the 17 that ran out at the weekend who is ready for regular SL action is Charnley, and he'll get plenty gametime this year, and possibly the 4 shirt in 2012 (will be either him or Pryce with the other being the reseve back IMO)
