Some years you get a lot of good young players others you don't. I wouldn't be too worried unless it occurs several years on the trot.

Anybody that went to John Fisher knows that the legendary disciplinarian Mr.McLeod has retired and that must have had a big impact. He was a brilliant but strict teacher and he used to knock 10 shades of shit out of you if you weren't doing things right. Players like Shaun Edwards and Shaun O'loughlin would back me up on that one.

Is Max Dudley a surprise omission ?
As far as I know, this squad is far from finalised and players can be added or dropped.

Very much as would Wiganers from a host of Secondary Schools. I am not sure it will ever return to be the norm despite fantastic effort by for example St Peters. PE has changed dramatically since the era of OFSTED. Not even sure if modern youngsters could tolerate or understand the value of such teachers.

If St. Peters Orrell can do it you would think that other schools such as St. John Fisher and Deanery High should have similar talent available.
