How can Broadbent be classed as a Barrow product let alone a youngster lol....?

How many of those are actually products of your youth system?

Oh I see now, it was a poor attempt at denigrating our potential use of our dual reg options...

Still don't understand how these would be 'players for hire'.....

In any case we've a squad of around 24 'Widnes players'. Several of which are 'Widnes products'.... How many 'Barrow products' can SRC boast of?

Where in your original post do's it say youngsters ??

Broady was born and bread in Barrow.

I did ask in a earlyer post what was meant by 'Product'

A product would be a player who has come through your academy system, in 'franchise terms' this would have been a player that came through the ranks for at least 3 years...

Sorry as all of our current products are youngsters, I made the assumption that you'd know what I was referring to.

Jamie Butler ?
Nick Beach ?
Ruairi McGoff ?

Right then, how many of those players have come through Barrow's academy system?

We have Dave Allen in our squad. He's a born and bred Widnesian, but we cannot claim him as a product of the Widnes Vikings because he came through the Wigan academy.

We can claim:
Anthony Mullally
Matt Strong
Shane Grady
Dean Thompson
Scott Yates
Dave Houghton
Paddy Flynn

All of which came through our academy system before entering the first team. Paddy was at Thatto Heath (St Helens) before joining our academy though.

yeah bring it on. you might think you have a good squad, you aint seen nothing till you see Big Frank and his boys coming at you,

prepare to be rumbled by Stanley, Makailli, Frank and Said you have been warned.

with Penky( just turned down a super league club to stay at fax) Gleeson, Beswick, Black and Branighan playing off the back of that.

with John Goddard and Rob Worrincey forming one of the deadlies centre and wing partnerships in the league.

bring on the games between the 2 sides they should be crackers.

Is this the same big Frank and Tamghart that got owned by the mighty Ostick at the Stobart??
