I'm sure Bilko will have a report soon.

Logan started at Hooker and had a very good game Thornley also started Spencer & Lloyd both picked up arm injuries early on but both returned. A very poor display by Leeds who must have had a completion rate below 20% I lost count of how many knock ons they made admittedly it was very wet conditions but Wigan made far fewer errors.

Tomkins got 10 minutes in the sin bin.

Wigan played the conditions very well. The pack particularly the four front rowers of Spencer, Burke, Greenwood and Harrison dominated the Leeds pack.
That allowed Powell and Williams to dictate the play.

If Wigan play their real U20 side they will still be in with a shout come the end of the season.

I read were likely to be going in to the play offs from 6th or 7th position but when it comes to the business end and we have a full team out we'll have a shot.

Guys like Russell, Gelling, Thornley, Spencer, Crosby, Logan Tomkins etc will all possibly feature and I'd back them to beat anybody when it matters.

Yes, the pack were tremendous in the first half and must have continued to dominate in the second half.

team was:

1. Shae Lyon Fraser
2. Ryan King
3.Iain Thornley
4, John O'Donnell
5. Joe Bullock
6. George Williams
7. Sam Powell
8. Tom Spencer
9. Logan Tomkins
10. Greg Burke
11. Connor Farrell
12. Rhodri Lloyd
13. Liam Carberry (great first half)
14. Scott Leatherbarrow
15. James Greenwood
16.Kieran Harrison
17. MattyCrow

I think Russell will stay at Hull for the rest of the season, but the others, yep - fingers crossed we don't get any more injuries.

Russell
King
Thornley
Gelling
Murphy/Bullock
Williams
Powell
Crosby
Tomkins
Spencer
Burke
Lloyd
Carberry

That side could have given a few super league sides a go this season. There is still the likes of Hughes, Tuson, Farrell, Marsh and Mellor who could end up in the under 20's side for the play-offs if they have poor form or get recalled etc.

I reckon the under 20's will be really strong come the end of the season. Would be great to see them win the GF again.

Then there will be the U18's tour lads, Hampshire, Burgess, Tierney and Sutton to be added to that squad.

5 in a row would be nice!

powell had a run out..........how did he go

Don't get to excited all you Gelling (hasn't become world class by now so isn't good enough for Wigan) doubters he won't be going back into the 20's this season not unless it's to swap with Thornley I've heard whispers that Pat has recently had further surgery though wether it adds time onto his original recovery I don't know.

I'm actually somebody who's backed Gelling to the hilt but if everybody is fit he'll be in the u20's play offs rather then the first teams.

No shame in that either.

Wane did Say Richards has suffered a set back but hopefully it's not too serious. It's hard to tell much just by looking at them but the day he got injured at Hull his knee looked in a shocking way with him wobbling all over the place. I was convinced it was season ending but hopefully that wont be the case.
