Re: Academy Promotions
Congratulations to all five they are all great prospects but I particularly like the look of Higginson, is he a year younger than the others? He might be the solution to our kicking problems in a year or two.

There are some excellent prospects being promoted from the U16s, it is good to see that we are recruiting guys with both size and skill.cpwigan wrote:http://www.wiganwarriors.com/news/2015- ... promotions

Re: Academy Promotions
With the large number being promoted to the Under 19's squad, a indication that there will be a return to a higher age group league next season with each club allowed to play a certain number of over aged players?

Re: Academy Promotions
We've always promoted large numbers but I hope for the sake of rugby league that we do introduce an U21 competition. I am of the view that to be a SL outfit you should have teams competing at U16, U19 and U21 level.Whelley Warrior wrote:With the large number being promoted to the Under 19's squad, a indication that there will be a return to a higher age group league next season with each club allowed to play a certain number of over aged players?
The salary cap also needs to recognise the value of players promoted from the junior system of each club. The situation in Hull is not satisfactory in my view, they choose to pay big sums for overseas players and at the same time they merge their academy with HKR! For a hotbed of rugby league that decision is criminal. The RFL need to put plans in place to protect our international future.

Re: Academy Promotions
There seems to be a serious likelihood of a Reserve League coming back next season. About time too.

18 / 19 from memory. I think young people are growing taller across the boards than past generations albeit obesity is becoming a national epidemic.michael inch stoke wrote:shaunedwardsfanclub wrote:There are some excellent prospects being promoted from the U16s, it is good to see that we are recruiting guys with both size and skill.cpwigan wrote:http://www.wiganwarriors.com/news/2015- ... promotions

Re: Academy Promotions
I've only watched them a couple of times this season but from what I have seen I agree. Wigan should be rewarded for producing this talent, the RFL need to wake up and smell the coffee and realise that all the effort put into coaching and grooming these lads should result in a relaxation of the salary cap for juniors making the grade.cpwigan wrote:Watching the clips of the U16s WOW!!!
