In the backs as well as Norton (hopeless last November but brilliant by the end) and Adams, also Jordi Pasqualin started as a young lad just out of school, played for us for most of last season and now is in GR's 1sst squad - ask him what he thinks about our coaches (and particularly Don Caskie's) contribution to his progress and you'll get a resounding positive answer. Also Dave Lewis in the season before him (also now in GR's squad). Henry Trinder started from nowhere last year and look how he's doing now.
Of our own, McBernie has now come through into our 1st XV squad and it will be interesting to see how he does as well this year.
Pity then as Moseley Matters says that the Rugby Union puts as the good England players through England Academies at Premiership clubs - agree its scandalous that all this does is keep the "cartel at the top with all the best players. Think how much better they'd be if they could spend a couple of seasons at our own Academy playing regular rugby with us! Then we'd really see the benefit of our coaching. Trouble is it would give Banker nothing to whinge about!
