Dudson and Flower both look class and will only get better over the next few years, People already knocking the signing of Matty Smith would do well to remember the groans when we signed these two, Maybe our coaching staff know a little bit more than we do let's trust their opinion and get behind everyone in that Wigan shirt.

i agree. hes got a few years till he develops fully. tom spencer to me looks a more developed young lad.

So did I. He has the size and frame to be a cracking prop but it was obvious that he was carrying a bit of timber and needed to get much fitter. This has happened, and is still happening because I think he still has some way to go and the potential is enormous.

Watched the game again last night and was very impressed with Dudson. His body shape is similar to Mossop and he wins the collision quite a lot resulting in a quick play the ball. He also hits pretty hard in defence. He's getting "Wigan fit" all the time and I expect next season he'll be a monster in the Mossop mould.

I just had to check Gil age I knew he was a young but at 21 he's playing very well for a prop he may develop in to an awesome player if he keeps progressing. For those in the know how good do they feel Rhodri Lloyd is and will be for us?

Without wanting to give it the RLFANS "billy big un" that is prevalent on these boards.

I mentioned when Dudson was on loan from Cru at Halifax a few years back, stating that he looked to have real potential.

I have since been unable to find my post, so i doubt anyone will believe me.

Nevertheless i am now sitting in the house feeling very, very proud of my undoubted scouting ability.



On a serious note.

What a signing he looks to have be. kudos IL, Wane and IH for getting him on board.

In its short history it would appear that we could reap the rewards of our Welsh Connection
