Fair enough. I was watching with 1 eye and behind the sofa.

That’s our reality at the moment and is a reflection of our injuries, our coaching and our recruitment.

Depressing like you say but at least we are seeing some promising young players show what they can do, let’s hope we can hang on to them.

I think people are too stuck in a doom and gloom mentality to realise how good a win that was with the players we had out. Says something when Partington is singing praises of the young lads and he’s only 22 himself!!!

And bar a silly forward pass, I thought he looked really threatening and laid a marker down. It’s encouraging to see him and O’Neil having a go in the position and putting some pressure on Sam Powell.

to be fair you were playing a mainly academy huddersfield side, you should be winning them games with the players you had

Couldn't make it due to other rugby commitments. What I will say is that I'll take any win given the team we had available.

I couldn't make the game, but there is a rule that touch will still be given where it is inevitable that the player would have gone into touch, maybe what happened here.

Well done Wigan on beating hudds 3rd team by 2 points

But they had players out too icon_smile.gif

Hudds squad numbers added up approx 336
Wigans squad numbers added up 320plus ish

Bear in mind 69 of hudds number is based on your 2 recent signings who are full 1st teamers in Peats and Peteru

Yeah course your 100% right

its true though it was literally our 3rd team

Yeah ok
I'll sit back and wait for the 26 players missing

Bourough all under 21. Partington just praised our young lads he's just turned 22. In a full strength Wigan team Im thinking from tonight's team Marshall Gildart Tommy Singlton Faz Partington and Havard get in. So six or seven first picks guessing your teams not far off that. I would argue we have more quality missing.
French Zak Hastings Bateman would walk into most teams. Maybe Seazer from you of a similar stature. Tonight's game was pretty much two broken teams. I thought if you had played the whole game like the last 20 then you may have looked like winning your two tries apart I can't think of much threat? We wasn't much better but looked in controle for all but 10 minutes after both your scores.
Goulding Mgilvrey Wardle Yates Jones McQueen Peates Petru I'm imagining would be in yours?
