I'm not saying that fc's youngsters aren't good enough, but for me there still 2 or 3 years off being fully developed, Wigan have Nsemba, Hill and Eckersley that are maybe a year older but far bigger and imo far better,
I think now that fc have these two loaded guys on board the whole idea of not wanting to block the pathway of the youngsters may well go out of the window, especially if they don't see the club improving quick enough. Just an observation obviously
Time will tell I suppose. I expect money will get thrown around on certain targets, but Myler has been around the game long enough to know that splashing out on players can only get you so far in Super League. It's a tight salary cap, and whilst you might strike it lucky with a group of players every now and then (see Hull FC 2016/17) it's all going to unravel when the squad starts to age, or when contract renewal time comes around and guys want to get paid etc. The only proven method of sustainable success is to have that academy production line consistently turning out 2 or 3 quality players per season, and supplement that with the big star signings, and that's clearly where we want to try to get to.
