I think what jts was alluding to was that it seems that you have more of a chance of being given a Saints scholarship if you play for Blackbrook than if you play for Bold.

It's a real shame that there is still this fixation with Blackbrook. It seems to be the case that you need to be extra special to get a scholarship if you're at any other club.

There are some decent kids playing for other St Helens clubs in next seasons U 15's that have been overlooked by saints who could end up snapped up by the likes of Wigan, Warrington, Widnes etc. just because they dont play for Brook.

Not like it used to be.
A lot of the lads coming through now have come from IRB, Bold and Orrell St. James, as you will probably read in the next week or so.

If you look at the Saints under15s team from this year there are only 3 lads from Brook. One has been on a while, one recently has been put on and the 3rd has just signed from Clock! I can think of 3 at Brook, 4 Bold, 4 Crossfields, 2 Clock, 3 Orrell, 3 Thatto, 2 Saddleworth, 1 at Widnes St.Maries and one who plays union at Sale.
