Strained leg in training, didnt risk him while weve got leeds next week.

Scored some superb tries yesterday but you have to say the opposition was poor.

As usual it was a great day out all round

Yes will really miss The Stoop when they move , it is a great day / weekend every season, good band in The Kings Bar !

Eleven of the starting thirteen came through the academy, fourteen of the seventeen also.
Only Richards, Lauaki and Flower were non academy players.

Bet Doris Hemmings will hate that, and would be loathed to mention it.... lol

Watched the 2 mins highlights on Wigan TV. Sam's length of the field try was worth the £35 cost alone. Fantastic effort even if the opposition was poor.

Makes the rumours about IL offering him round the NRL for next season even more bizarre. You'd want this player gone sooner than necessary because....?

The 15 minute highlights are up now, fyi.

You should have seen Hampshires tries in the U19's.
It's just a pity about the one he had disallowed for a double movement, that would have been just as good as Sam's.

Against london?

I have seen some of Hampshire also courtesy of Wigan TV and was quite surprised he wasn't the junior halfback to get the nod v London. Mind you Willams try in the London game was great to watch as well. Showed quite a bit of speed off the mark after selling the dummy.

Just watched them. Give you a better idea of the build up to some of the tries (obviously). Flower made some good runs and Charnley was just too strong for them to keep hold of if those few minutes are indicative of the rest of the game.

Yes.
