It's a complex decision for a youngster and their parents. An Australian tour would play a part but also the quality of back room staff and training facilities along with the percentage chances of one day having a crack at a first team place.

I remember not that long ago that a certain team would only recruit from another team that had the words "Pats" and "St" in their title. If you had a youngster in the town with aspirations you had one objective and one alone and that was to play for that amateur youth team. Lazy recruiters in them days. Now they drive all the way over that massive mountain that is 'the lump' to look at 'fureners'.

Did Jason Robinson, Luke Robinson, Kev Brown, Andy Farrell, Micky McIlorum, Dennis Betts, Harrison Hansen, Mike Ford, Lewis Tierney, Ryan Hampshire etc, etc, etc all play for that team?

I was playing in the Cumbrian masters yesterday and got talking to a few of the Cumbrian lads after the game. Mentioned I was a saints fan and one of them said "hey what about those 2 Welsh lads you've signed". He said he coached down in Wales. Can't remember who for, but he said pretty much every super league team wanted them and a host of Union clubs too! The winger especially was one to look out for

I hope he was right regarding the winger lebron, we surely need one.
