Tyrone McCarthy is not a prop.


great way to go off topic but anyway so Ben Currie didn't have any development at Wigan? And Tyrone McCarthy played as a prop as was good so that usually says he can play prop and be a prop.

I reckon the majority of his development would have been at Parkside.

I dont understand why Tyke is even being brought up, he was not super league class and certainly not good enough for a team striving to win Grand Finals, he tried his best and was liked by the fans because of that but he was definitely not good enough.

Yes, lets pick players that aren't good enough to fill key positions... BRILLIANT idea.


Worked alright about 12 years ago for Leeds

ok wigan academy and then you signed him as a youngster still doesn't change the fact that your catchment area isn't bound by a sign board. and doesn't change the fact that in all honesty you still have a quality squad but not a quality coaching staff to get the maximum results clearly.


Haven't Warrington got a knack of signing a lot of youngsters on from outside their area? You've had a number from Hunslett Warriors

It's a good job Wigan brought Feilden through their youth system a few years back so he could inspire them to not being relegated.................. Oh, hang on



It's a good job Wire brought Westwood and Nat Wood through their youth system to inspire them against relegation..............Oh, hang on

What's your point? The majority of our squad are from the youth system. Look at the starting team against St Helens, half of them are academy products.

Wigan have one of, if not the best utilised youth systems in Rugby League and balance the squad well.

I don't even know what I gave you that response because you already know it.


to be fair the fact you have places like Wigan St pats is also a massive bonus. its places like that that nurture your talent first

on the whole Warrington's amature clubs are geared to open age rugby first and foremost the kids sections are add ons.

A friend of mine went to see an amateur set up in Penrith Australia and it was all about the kids, the open age team was the last in line of importance. the view was if your playing open age you've had your chance your either not good enough or are just winding down your playing days. He was blown away by it.

I had heard a conversation a few years ago Wire had "Signed" a promising youngster and had promptly sent him to St pats....

anyway Wire have one Academy product mixing it in the NRL, add that to a Scouser, a lad from chorley, and four lads from Dewsbury, its not bad

When did McCarthy play at prop for Ireland anyway?

Great thread - topic needs changing to - Wigans youth policy is better than Wires !!


My thoughts are that we need a couple of enforcers - we are just too 'nice'. Who is going to start the biff when a game needs changing ?? Take the captaincy of Westwood - he is not the mongrel of a couple of years back.
Asotasi seems an honest enough pro - we need someone with a proper nasty streak (Hock-like)

Was always going to be a transitional season - thought we would be pushing for the top 4 rather than top 8 though

I don't get this 'transitional' period a lot of posters are talking about.
This is the TS team and I've not once seen reference by him that we are in a transitional phase.
