The quality isnt there in the 18s this year, there on only a few who actually got signed from the u16s last year which affected this years 18s.

And many of the 20's do qualify for the 18s too...
The talent will be back when the 16s get signed this year.

Wow!

Get in!

I must admit I didn't fancy their chances of a comeback behind by 22. But all credit to the lads.

Good day all round.

Any news on whether we've managed to sign the best of the under 15's and 16's to our academy?

Maybe he shouldn't have kicked the ball, but he didn't appear to run that line deliberately to stop the 20 metre tap.
Burgess certainly has some toe. I thought there was a good call for an 8 point try when Saints centre 4 (Galbraith?) flopped on Tierney after the ball was grounded for his try.

In the U15's I thought Saints fullback was by far their best player, and Wigans Shorrocks got the better of Hewitt.

Enjoyable day though.

Nice message from Ryan Hampshire on his facebook, something along the lines of Wigan Saints the best games to ever play in. Hope he gets used to it.

Rogues Gallery, your one of the most biased spectators i have came across. Everything you say is in favour of wigan! The ball was thrown to the 20m for a quick tap by St Helens, the ball went abit over the mark, but that still doesnt give Wigans Josh Rooney the right to pick the ball up and kick it away, clearly states in the rules that this offence is a straight yellow card, so why your even Questioning the referees decision there i do not no. As for your theory over an 8 point try allergation, once again as the wigan player was diving Lewis Galbraith dived at the pretty much the same time, thats why no fuss was made of it by either team, just you, once again miss reading the game. As a Neutral supporter i thought the game was very enjoyable to watch for players tallent, St Helens battled hard as did wigan, but personally i believe a thew refereeing decisions made it tuff for the saints. Fair play to wigan though, they just played to the wistle.
