We signed quite a few of that siddal team, just interested to know if we were interested and they preferred wigan or we just didnt show an interest.
I know that Smithies was our number one target at the time, I posted this other year. That was why they set up with Siddall and Scrimshaw as coach. They got Holroyd who was also the massive target, but Wigan were a bigger pull for Smithies. Don’t know about the others.
Last year we missed out to Wigan on Longstaff, who was also a high priority target. That was the reason they pulled out all the stops to change Joe Burtons mind, which was quite an excellent signing.

It baffles me.
You talking about Siddall? They were far too good for their age group, and took the challenge to enter up a year. That competition only runs at under 14’s and under 16’s.
