Yeah, they have talent coming through, no question. But they do love the big money buys, always have.

Sprinkle a few in there, British or overseas, and you've got a good team, and arguably one that would develop together better over a period of time than collecting big name imports and not establishing the pathway for your own backyard development to come through to the top.

5 david hodgson (Hull)
6 danny orr (Castleford)
7 luke robinson (Halifax)
8 danny sculthorpe (Oldham/Rochdale)
10 danny tickle (Halifax)
11 lee gilmour (Dewsbury Moor)
13 chris chester (Stanley Rangers, Wakefield)

15 wayne godwin (Castleford)

These players aren't Wigan juniors, several aren't Lancashire juniors. Draw the line at overseas players but allowing players from the town or region is arbitary.

The RFL should cut down, slightly, the no. of overseas players, but to force clubs like Wigan to get rid of them all would be stupid.

Does anyone else think Leek UK likes making hypothetical team lists up?
