Damien Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Considering how little academy players get paid fair play to them if they decide to take up another offer elsewhere. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a Warrington Academy product signed by Wigan. Less than a week later Peet cries salty tears about us singing a Wigan academy product. There is absolutely no difference, the principle is the same. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Browny Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Well done to the interviewer for managing to transcribe his grunts. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Jughead Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Sounds a bit bitter in all this, does Peet, which is surprising as he has generally spoken quite well throughout the year and seems to remain calm. It seems Nicholson thinks he should be playing every week and Peet disagrees that he’s ready to do so, so Nicholson has jumped ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Wigan's academy has a much better track record, it seems, at producing Super League talent than Warrington's does.

Damien Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 The thing is it's quite valid to have no sympathy for Peet or Wigan. As I said previously academy players get paid poorly and if they get a better offer elsewhere then so be it. Fair play to any young player who can get paid more elsewhere. There's really no need for the stupid comparisons to try and justify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShropshireBull Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Professional sport. I imagine terms could be similar but with Wire rebuilding chance to nail down a proper first team spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris22 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Strikes me as out of character for Peet. Usually very calm and respectful, even when he has the right not to be, such as when Hardaker left Wigan in the lurch. Still, I don't mind coaches saying what they think, as long as it doesn't cross the line. Makes things more interesting. 1 Twitter: @TrylineUK Latest Blog: Leeds' Indian Summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
