[QUOTE="Teh Mite, post: 349737, member: 12332"] I think you'll find a hell of a lot more work goes into developing a player once they've joined a pro club then what they do for The Dog and Ducks 2nd XV. On the Northampton front: I'm Certain. Ben Cohen - Northampton boy, played for Saints' funded "Northampton Old scouts" before joining Saints at 15 or 16 years old Steve Thompson - Same as above with "Northampton Casuals" Paul Diggin - Same again with "BBOB" Courtney Lawes - Same as Cohen Myler - Former RL player with no Union experience Ashton - Same as Myler Dawson - Joined Saints at colt age player in amateur era Rodber - As Dawson Bayfield - Full time Bedford policeman who specifically commuted just to play for Saints in amateur era. Went on to play for England. [/QUOTE]
