There's an article in League Weekly where Gardner says:

I wish I could play along side Gidley until he was 50

I'm sure you wish he could play for England too Ade, so you don't get shown up as the cr*p player that you are

Greg Inglis plays for Melbourne.

Don't think so - even Sean Long wouldn't have a bet on that!

In terms of a centre playing with his winger though, I would say Gidley is better.

Inglis is more of a strike player IMO. Folau may have something to say about your comment as well though.

Where the hell did you get your avatar??

He will be better than Pryce.

How the hell is Sam only 19?!! he looks like a veteran already and is running the side.

A bad game will be just around the corner and thats when we'll see what he's made of but i'd back him to hit right back.

Superb.

It is so frustrating to be stuck in Milwaukee reading these posts. I have been looking forwards to watching him play and have yet to see it.

OK I guess Bradford were not brilliant but you can only play the team in front of you and this can't have done his confidence any harm.

I hope he is still in the team by the time I get back!

So may Hodges, Tate, Lyon and Cooper

everybody in RL has been crying out for the young wigan players to get the gig and now they are its looking good for them.

In saying that though Bradford where shocking last night.

A great talent, with all the right skills, a good rugby brain and heaps of passion for the Cherry & White. He has great balance, a jinking/side-step style of running and is very vocal on the pitch..........all fantastic attributes for someone who is only 19 years of age.

This lad can only get better and better as he grows in confidence as a regular first teamer - I suppose that the challenge will come when teams double-mark him and try to close him down as with Trent.................but if the team plays as it did last night and steps up to the plate as a unit, this will create other opportunities and gaps on those occasions.

As Trent Barrett correctly stated after going back to Australia - Wigan already had his successor in Sam.

It's great to see that there is a core of young Wigan lads becoming established first team players. As Ged Byrne stated in the South Stand Bar before the match, there is no greater pride in pulling on your home team's shirt for the first time - these lad's are now proving that they have got the hunger and pride to do this constantly.

Long may it continue
