No you could'nt.

It'd be far better in your typicall small Wigan brain but in reality the Saints youth are far superior. As are the first team.

How about you look at the reserves league table: http://wigan.rlfans.com/fusion_pages/in ... age_id=875 I think you'll find we've won 12 from 12, whereas your kids have only managed 8 from 10.

We tend not to sign players like Tim Smith, Richie Mathers and Karl Pryce to play in our reserves though.

Being top of the academy table means little. We're talking about a competition toward which SL clubs are not 100% committed 100% of the time and containing a wildly disparate spread of talent, ages and attitudes. I've lost count of the number of "New" Murphys, Vollenhovens, Bostons, and Karaliuses which have amounted to nothing (indeed, it often works counterintuitively with kids of average ability maturing into top-tier talent - Wellens, Roby etc.), just as I've lost count of the number of championship-winning academy sides which have failed to provide the next generation of SL players (the much vaunted Hull academy that produced Dean Busby achieved zip). The truth is there's a big black hole sat between academy and first grade which consumes the majority of players. And it's never had enough to eat.

That team would lose about 60-0 even to the current Bradford team.

As long as it didn't lose to Celtic I'd be happy.
