Have you seen all these 18 year olds driving Aston Martins

Hopefully the Wire lads will open up their lead at the top, very promising for the area though that Wire & Pies are top 2 in both the leagues

If you are able to get to Wigan tomorrow (Orrell RU) please do and we can hopefully make it a 'double' over the pie eaters this weekend!!!

BUMP

On my way in a minute.

Final score Wigan 29 Warrington 34

Brilliant

Scores equal 5 mins to go Wigan drop goal

We went down the other end attempted drop hits the bar and we score of the rebound

Wigan board complaining about that one too...

Not complaining, just pointing out that it was a bit on the "lucky" side...

A draw would have been a fair result, I thought (and presumably so did the Wire players, hence why they went for the DG at the end).

not too often we can say we have done the double over wigan!!!!

I thought our youth was crap.

Top of the league...

According to the pies it was the ref again

They had Feka and Pryce playing as well

Well in lads!! great weekend to be a Wire!

Great win for the lads. To go behind so late in the game and then stil have the strength of character to go straight back up field shows that we have players with the right mentality.

It was great to see a planned move come off like that at the end. Gaz O'Brien has been practicing that in training all week so for it to work at such a crucial time is superb. It was just a race between Ben Evans and Tyke to see who could collect the ball first and Ben won!!!

Full Match Report to follow

I'm sure WalterWizard will give us his usual excellent in-depth match report but my own brief thoughts are as follows.

Marvellous entertainment from both teams in difficult conditions. This Warrington team really dug in playing against the strong wind and torrential rain out-breaks in the second-half.

I'm sure Wigan were the same but lets not forget that (I think) 8 of Warrington's 17 today are u18 players with a handfull actually from the u17 age group. Warrington also decided not to supplement the squad with the two non-playing members from this week's 19 man first team squad whereas Wigan played Palanesena (and I can claim my "I saw Feka play the full 80" t-shirt) and Pryce.

Not really conditions for expansive football but I thought O'Brien and Caslick went good in the halves. Caslick looks a lot better at this level than he did to me at u18 earlier in the season whilst I hope O'Brien gets a shot against the Aussies in December, he's certainly earnt it on performance over the last two seasons.

Best for Warrington in my opinion was McCarthy who was a real workhorse in defence and a danger with ball in hand. I also thought Liam Hulme put in a really good and effective stint off the bench.

Finally well done to Ryan Duffy who more than held his own as a 17 year old propping against Palasena.

To be truthful from 1 to 17 you could highlight the positive input the lads gave. They all deserve a big pat on their backs for completing the league double over Wigan thsi year. They will need to keep the form up to complete a treble as I'm certain that just like the first grade teams Warrington and Wigan will meet again somewhere down the track this season.

Thanks for that great comment I know Ryan will be chuffed to bits with that. He really enjoyed the game.
