Youngsters are really coming of age, some outstanding players we've got in our ranks! Can only get better, very impressed with what I've seen of them all.

The future has been bright at the start of every season since I can remember, there have always been supposedly great youngsters in our ranks.

Interesting to see the youngsters breaking through since the departure of John Bastion!

Warrington talent breaking through at Wigan and Saints after some questionable management decisions over the last few years seeing lads on our books move on to the for named.

You should know you're not allowed to be positve about the future on here. Tsk, tsk.

Interesting to see a contender for worst post of the season before the season has even started.

Which youngsters have broke through since the departure of John Bastian? We haven't even played a single competitive game yet.

Can you also list out all the "Warrington talent" breaking through at Wigan and Saints especially the ones that were on our books and moved on.

Talking absolute rubbish again.

It's interesting that John Bastian was highly successful at Leeds and Tony Smith brought him to us, we had an Academy Grand Final win a couple of years ago but when he was here you would get a few complaints every off season on here about how we were releasing top talent, Warrington only wanted lads that were big and fit and ignored skill, and our players were getting signed up by other clubs and would come back to haunt us.

We hear this every year. But none of these players who get signed up by the likes of Wigan or Saints ever come back and haunt us. Fancy that! I expect the excuse is, when they were driven away by Warrington's bad management, their confidence was ruined, or it put them off rugby league, and they were lost to the game....

Most likely what happens is every year a few lads get released because our coaching staff don't think they're good enough to make it with us, and disgruntled parents/family come on here and complain about it. If they get picked up as squad padding by other clubs they use it as justification that they were obviously great players.

But I could be wrong. Anybody in the know able to make predictions of 2 or 3 Warrington lads that were released in the last few years who will go on to be top SL players at other clubs? Or even one?

The biggest reason so many Warrington players were released was the re-structure into the U19s competition,. And that is the fault of the RFL.

The under 19s were introduced by the Super League clubs, against the advice of the RFL. Warrington ans Saints voted against. Ian Lenegan probably voted in favour then went crying to Martyn Sadler.

The way I look at it, is when we have put out a much weakened side, we have been shown up by clubs such as Widnes, London and Salford. Last year Wigan and Leeds bought very young, inexperienced sides to the HJ and only narrowly lost. Saints played much of the year with only rookies available.

Long way to go yet.

Sorry I didn't phrase it that well.. yes the other clubs voted to scrap it as a cost cutting measure. Go figure.

Why is it that the same posters always question?
Its not rocket science to do a little research yourselves...

Here's just 2 of the last Bastion released.

Lewis Charnock half back to st helens.

Easy bit of research using the search function: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=420911&hilit=Charnock&tsmp=1391537226 So the "last Bastion(sic) released" were two 15 years from 2009 that between them have made 1 first team appearance. Guess that's your case proved conclusively then. Why is it always the same posters who write rubbish?
