| Quote Smiffy27="Smiffy27"Thanks for this. I'll put you on the spot. Which of our young props do you think is most likely to step up?'"
I would hope Luke Thomas will step up. John Kear said " he doesn't have a handbrake", and from what I have seen he has the controlled aggression and determination to succeed. Hopefully the coaches will be adding the black art of the prop to his skill set and we will see him making the bench in the coming year. |

The player currently keeping Charnley out of the Leigh 1st team is Keanan Brand.
A young player that we recruited from Widnes, but was released to Leigh on a freebie by Wire, without being given a proper chance.
Leigh are off loading Charnley now and if we sign him, it illustrates the incompetence of the Wire succession plan for our team.
And he has scored hat trick tonight We need Mystic Meg on the staff. Just at looking back at who we had around at the time ... you just can't keep 'em all. Lineham, Charnley, Ashton, Wrench & the excitable Mamo. Then they get lent out and rarely come back. Took his tries well though v Leeds. |

I dont think Williams has ever given us value for money.
I'm not even slightly bothered by him leaving. He goes down as just another bad decision in the failed 'galactico' recruitment strategy of our club.
Hopefully we will start to move away from that desperate model now.
That's an interesting observation. Hopefully our galactico strategy is over now and we will stick with the model of signing hungry 'project' players who won't break the bank like Roderick Tai, Dan Russell and Oli Leyland. That's an approach that gets a far warmer reception among Wire fans. |

That would make sense... if he had come through as our youth player. But we signed Brand from Widnes, gave him three games and sacked him off. I'm seen as a happy clapper on here, but one thing I am ashamed of is how many players we let go and then see them go on to better things at other clubs. Remember our coaching staff see these guys in training day after day - the judgment of potential needs to be far better. |

Usually if the team as a whole does not perform I believe the youngsters are the ones used as scapegoats by the coaching team, could be wrong but that’s my belief. Like you say they often move on to other clubs and do well. We just need to give them more chances. |

Yep .. of course we need to give em more chances ... but it never seems the right time to bring them in. It is not easy to decide who to keep. Wigan (who produce so many players) have those that they have not kept spread all around SuperLeague e.g. HKR/Leigh etc. So it's not just Wire. So if they suddenly lost Marshall would they say why did we let Burgess, Davies & Hanley and a few more go. |
