Quote: moto748 "Yes, but, continuing the analogy, couldn't you argue that the point is, Wigan have three 'Sutcliffes'?'"
You could.
And I'm not quite sure why the previous poster picked me up on my point that Hampshire and all the others would have a tougher time getting games at other big clubs such as Leeds.
It's generally acknowledged throughout the game that Wane and Wigan give youngsters a fair chance. In fact the decisions not to replace such skilled and experienced performers as Pat Richards and Blake Green with similar will I believe backfire on the club.
I say again, Hampshire will get further chances, and most likely, if he's good enough then he'll take them.
In many respects it's players not coaches who pick the team. By that I mean, you can by virtue of your performances, make yourself undroppable.
