Quote: Geekay "There are a number of disparaging remarks about Workington on this thread but how many have been aware that we have had a run of injuries over a number of weeks where we have had upwards of 7 players out at one time. On Sunday we put together our fit players with four Wigan juniors - Murphy (played all last season for SW Scorpions); Farrell (under 19 player hasn't made SL debut yet); Manfredi (winger making his first appearance for us) and Powell (again first appearance for us but has been playing a few SL games) - but for your coach to say that the four Wigan players were the best players on the field is just poor excuse making comments.
The players who were the best on the field were local players Brett Phillips, Marc Shackley, Carl Forber, Graham Mattinson, Liam McAvoy plus Andy Bracek for yourselves. Under Phil Vievers I can see a lot of improvement in our team and don't worry one or two others will lose at Derwent Park this season.
I think Mr Harrison needs to look at his own squad and his own abilities and not look for excuses. He never mentioned the fact that Town only had 1 recognised prop forward in our squad and that although we had 17 names on the team-sheet one of those players, one of our starlets Callum Phillips, didn't even make an appearance so we played with a 16 man squad.'"
Not sure where the disparaging remarks are on this thread, personally I think Workingon were the better team, as I remarked to one of your supporters when I left the ground.

You might be right, I wouldn't like to comment.
