Yeah I was working on the basis that Hastings is unavailable. If he's available I'd start him and play Smith from the bench.

Yes, beat Saints (well, Saints academy really for most of the game) and lost to Wire.

As you said the name Hanley brings with it a certain amount of baggage.

I hope he is given the time to develop without her expectations weighing on his shoulders.

When I look at young players some I look for attitude, others I look at athleticism. A good coaching system can normally develop the rest.

From what I’ve seen of Hanley (which is limited I have to say) is a natural athlete. He seems to me the type of player that will thrive under full time coaching.

Been hearing lots of positives from players regarding his pre season.

Fingers crossed he reaches his potential as if he does I am sure he can be a regular for Wigan in the next year or 2.

Season long loan to Fax

Really ? With that false remark, you obviously have a soft spot for Saints.

He'll be given a game by the fans. If he plays well he'll be the next Ellery Hanley, if he makes a mistake he'll be useless......

Was it not? I went off comments from Saints fans to be fair which no Leigh fans seem to be challenging. Did they not make a raft of changes before you guys went ahead? I didn't watch the game. Well done if you beat their first team.
