Thought Hampshire was brilliant also.

If he's a better Stand-Off than Fullback then wow.

Gelling is first choice with out a doubt and it doesn't matter if some people can't see past there poor judgment of him he is quality.

Jack Hughes is starting to really live up to that potential he has as well.

Charnley may have some problems dislodging Manfredi.

Matty Smith really stood up when he needed to, its frightening how we have so much depth in the spine positions. Williams, Powell, Hampshire and Smith eventually we are going to lose a gem in one of them.

That try Hampshire setup for burgess was great, if you watch it zoomed out you could have easily though it was last year with sam setting it up

But as a young forward bateman did great against an experienced/old pack

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39110.jpg



Only 20 and he literally looked like our leader on the pitch tonight. I hope he never leaves. He is a special player, he will turn out to be one of our best ever signings if he stats with us.

The back 3 were also very impressive, as was Gelling, Smith and.... Well the list could go on icon_biggrin.gif

Last night I think Phil Clarke mentioned Bateman for young player of the year, so far it's between him and burgess. Personally I think Bateman should be the front runner for MOS. Who's Been better this season?

Cant believe how good he has been this year. surprising how often he's played though given Wane's comments when he was signed but i guess if hes playing so well you cant leave him out

The future looks good for Wigan, Hampshire and Bateman where fantastic last night amongst others.

It's shown since the salary cap came in that clubs who concentrate on bringing youngsters through generally profit from it, I would imagine there was a massive difference in wages between the 2 teams that started last night yet the result contradicted that.

I knew when I saw him at Leigh pre-season that he would be fantastic this year. He just loves playing the game, think he needs a shave though...

Top notch signing this lad he's as tough as they come and I don't think it will be long before he's on Steve Mcnamaras radar. You can see when the lads are on the field that there is a good feeling in the camp and this go's a lot deeper than preparation alone there seems to be a burning desire to pull on the famous shirt and they are treating the fans to something special this year. Ryan Hampshire is a competitor and he is going to terrorise defences for years to come. Joe Burgess or John Bateman for young player of the year watch this space! a014.gif

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg



What a try that would have been from Hampshire. He must have beat three or four players, chipped the fullback only for the ball to just go over the dead ball line.

The players made this old man a very proud Wiganer last night, each and every one of them, but the passion and commitment especially from the young players was something to behold.

A special mention for Ryan Sutton, 18 years of age and playing so well against such experienced opposition.

There was a couple behind me calling Hampshire rotten for that chip on 1st tackle, and a bloke next to me who said he'll never make it because he makes too many stupid mistakes after he failed to keep the Salford penalty in play (the one where he palmed it infield and over the dead ball line). I'm glad someone else thought he had an absolute pearl of a game! He is going to be one special player, I just hope we can keep him for as long as possible!

Yeh I heard a few grumbles round me as well, we were 18-0 up and coasting, and one favourable bounce of the ball then that's try of the season and the lad's a genius. Nothing he could do about the 40/20, you have to compliment the kick, and by palming the penalty dead he still gained us about 40m territory with a drop out reaching half way instead of a tap 10m from our line. Thought overall he was excellent, even handled the high balls thrown at him well.

I keep changing my mind on him, I wanted to see how Sarg at 1 and Rocky at 6 would go, but the more I see of him the more I think he should play fullback, plus Powell has got all the makings of being a top quality 6.
