Betting on our Academy : Mon May 28, 2012 1:59 pm
If Gaskell goes (a season after Eastmond) we might as well wrap up the academy. McManus can hype it into the stratosphere but if all we do is leak away talent what purpose is served (other than to RU or other clubs?)Three/four years ago McManus staked the mortgage on Wheeler, Frodsham, Ashurst, Eastmond, Lomax, Tyrer, Gaskell and Foster.
Since that point Wheeler has achieved very little, Eastmond, Frodsham, Ashurst & Tyrer are gone, Foster and Gaskell are on ice (perhaps about to leave) which leaves only Lomax.
Hardly a ringing endorsement.
