Always thought Matt Crow, U20's looked promising as a centre, has pace, a step and is good in attack and defence though still a work in progress, will regularly break the opposition line and isnt greedy, but so far this season has spent a majority of his time warming the bench. Played 60mins up against Cudjoe in Lockers testamonial and kept him off the score sheet, appreciate it was a friendly but not many centres manage that. Perhaps now they have Gelling and Hughes, Wigan feel they no longer have to look for a centre, though Hughes I think is still a better option at 2nd row. I dont think they have learnt from their previous unsuccessful efforts to turn a 2nd row into a centre

I was surprised and a bit disappointed we let him go. Always thought he had a lot of potential, and we're not exactly well off for centres coming through (O'Donnell and Hughes are really converted 2nd rowers).

I too liked Jamie Acton was very disappointed to hear he had left. Thought he had great potential at centre but then was moved into the second row which is what we seem to do a lot as per Matty Crowe!! Look to have a good one coming through from the under 16s in Oliver Gildart but whether we turn him into a second row only time will tell.

The u18's have some quality players and h havn't been beat for two seasons. The pack is strong and a couple of players who has caught my eye are the loose forward Lever who I believe has played in the 20's this season and Wright the hooker. The 18's side must be the best team in the country at that age.
