Err he is. His kick returns were a massive factor in us staying in the league in 2007 season. |

| Quote General Zod.="General Zod."Too add to that, I reckon we can get a lot of joy with our kick chase game because Briscoe/Fox/Cockayne combination is significantly faster than Wellens/Gardner/Armstrong combination.'"
How right was I.
Wellens & Gardner are slower than the slug in my garden and should never play for England again.
I certainly think that the crop of Leeds youngsters such as Watkins etc. are far superior to those of Saints and I expect decline to evolve when Cunningham, Long & Gidley retire as they are virtually irreplacable. |

The Peter Fox try was sublime! He was waiting right on the edge of the touchline on the same lining as the post. Gardner was about 15metres infront of him defending. Rovers had a scrum and Dobson placed it into the corner, I even think it was Welham who picked it up and gave it Fox but the pace on Fox compared to Gardner. Wow.
Assuming you wern't there Zod, apologies if you were! |

Went 2 years ago mate and didn't like the way the local plod were putting themselves about.
Anyway, it seems my point about how slow Saint's back 3 are went totally over a lot of people's heads when to me it seemed totally obvious.
It's a total embarressment to English Rugby League fans that Gardner & Wellens were even on the plane to Oz for the world cup.
God help Saints when Gidley, Cunningham & Long retire, Leeds are the model to follow if we are to have long term success IMO.... |

I'll be getting a job sat next to Alan Hansen on MOTD. You don't win nothing with kids you know. |

Saints had 9 academy products in their 17 last night, that doesnt include someone like Long who came from Wigan yet has been at Saints what feels like forever!
Leeds I think had 12/13 in their 17 last week which is amazing to think they still looked a pretty classy outfit! Just shows it can be done but it takes time.
In comparison I think Rovers only have Kris Welham as I'Anson was trained at Leeds and Netherton was brought through at Hull. I know with championship winning sides you get purses to be able to put money into your youth set ups however it is something Rovers need to address only problem is it cant be done overnight.

Netherton was brought through at Leeds and Welham was on Hull's acadamy books. |

You'll find Welham was on Hulls Scholarship but has been at Rovers since he was about 16 if i'm not mistaken, so has come through our youth structure not Hulls.
Didnt realise Netherton came through Leeds academy sorry! |

Welham played in Hulls U-18 side on a number of occasions, he also had a spell at Doncaster before he signed for Rovers. So i think he would have been older than 16 when he first signed for Rovers.
Much as i rate Welham, i don't think Rovers can claim he is solely a product of their acadamy structure. |
