It is my understanding that players who come through your academy dont count the same on the salary cap. Wigan have the best academy in rugby league. As such they have more money to spend on their marquee players. We, by comparison have only just been allowed to have an academy. There are many great players in super league from leigh who could have come through our academy and form the basis of our team. It is amazing that we have been able to compete with the likes of warrington, st Helen's, Leeds given that we start hamstrung by this rule.
Give us 5 years and we will start to bring our own players through. This will be the final step in the leyth revolution. The journey there will be very exciting so let's enjoy the ride.

Are you saying Wigan are spending more now that the new owner has come in?

Which areas specifically?

Can you show me the evidence?

Yes, go and do your own research, read the RL press and talk to some of your own fans and by the way from everything I wrote praising Wigan this is all you could write back??? Chill out, relax and watch youre blood pressures you have a GF this week.

If loop fixtures for next season are decided by odd/even place finishing again, I would personally prefer Wigan win the whole thing, just giving them the 4 points next season is enough

I think loop fixtures are decided by regular season standings, so we'll have Wigan (a), Warrington (h), Catalans (magic), Huddersfield (h) and Hull (a) as our extra fixtures.

Correct.
