12 - 0 to Wigan. Try to Ryan King.

Hopefully we can win this match and start the day as we mean to finish.

18 - 6 to Wigan. Try to Murphy.

34 - 10 to Wigan. Try to Acton, our new recruit from down south. Interested to hear from those who attended what they thought of him.

34 - 16 final score.

A good game, closer than the score suggests.

I was impressed. Tackles hard, runs it in strongly, good appetite for work. Reminds me a bit of a young Keith Senior.

Thnx Geoff.

He's a big guy for centre. Hopefully he can hold his own with the rest of young threequarters we have coming through, and help replace are ageing backline.

Reads as though Powell and Logan Tomkins were very influential in the win.

Ryan king named man of the match on his performance . I thought young jayden sandford stood up very well. Jamie acton smashed wilie isa in a crunching tackle. them two were competing well all match.

And here's my summary of the match - rlwigan.rlfans.com/news.php?readmorerl

I thought that this was an excellent win. Cas include Snitch and Owen, and are a really big team. King was fantastic as was Russell, but great performances across the park. Not sure about Acton, he is a big unit but very upright in collision, got smashed a few times gave away a few clumsy penalties. Jayden Sanford looks like a fast lad, but didnt get chance to show his pace much really, wouldnt see him as getting a regular spot in that team. Cannot agree with Bilkos assesment, Tomkins was oustanding at hooker, great distribution, fast crisp passes both ways , kicked well too and seemed to be in every tackle, best game i have seen him play. To say they looked better with Carberry at 9 is not correct in my view. Carberry is a big strong lad, who loves to run from dummy half, he made a couple of good breaks. His passing is not great though. Not convinced that he will ulimatly end up a hooker.

Each to their own. I thought it was pretty slow stuff still till Carberry came on into dummy half. I felt they upped a gear. For me Logan was far better in the last 20 mins or so when stood off from dummy half.

Both good hookers, IMO, though as you say, very different in style. Logan is a good distributor and kicker (it was him got that 40-20 wasn't it?), Liam is more of a scooter, but his distribution will improve as he matures - just as Logan's and McIlorum's has.
