Wigan 178 - 64 Leeds
Wigan wins - 6 Leeds wins - 0[/color:1fnfdzuc]
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

| And to think this years under 16's could well be even better. Having not lost a game in two years.
Who ever's in charge of youth development at Wigan is doing a marvelous job. John Winder I think.

| Quote: Jukesays "4 of these guys are 1st year under 18s meaning there only just 17 in a lot of cases.
I wouldn't be worried about them not being in the 1st team squad until 2014 if it were up to me. That doesnt mean we couldnt use them (not too many at once though please) if needed but by the 2014 season most of them will be around the late 18/ early 19 mark which for me is the ideal time for them to be exposed to the 1st team.
Lets' not expect too much of them too early.'"
Certainly no rush to get them in to the first team squad and playing matches but I'd love to see them in there training fulltime with the first team and learning from the best.
Either way there looks to be real talent coming through and that softens the blow of losing the likes of Finch, Leuluai and Lima. We may have to play a patience game for a couple of years but there can't be a club in a better position to deal with the reducing numbers of NRL stars coming this way and our stars going the other way then us.
Long term we look set fair.

I think they'll be training with the first team squad fairly quickly but not necessarily rushed in. There's usually a group of young players who are brought into the fringes of the first team and since Williams was already considered for selection this year and with Mellor leaving I think they'll be in reserve. Also if Ryan King leaves then we're a little light in cover on the wing so Burgess will probably make the squad too.
You can never be certain with how players progress though. Just look at Shaun Ainscough. He was part of the England Academy squad and impressed against Australia only to fail to make the grade. Matty Russell could well go the same way unless he makes some improvements to his game.
So while it's good that we've got 6 excellent prospects there's still a long way to go before we can be sure they'll make it.

| What do we reckon to that result? A shock or pretty much expected?
I was expecting a little more tbh going off the warm up games but I'm not the best judge.

I would hope this was a result of nerves catching up with the English players as it looks like we just made so many silly errors and the aussie lads just punished those errors.
I think we sort the errors out we will fair a helluva lot better, but that aussie team looks awesome and from the highlights i have seen Mitchell Moses looks a huge prospect
Good luck in the next boys

What's a bit annoying is that some of the players were warned about Mitchell Moses before they left for Aus.

The aus pack dominated and allowed him to have a field day though RG.
Nevertheless he looks a special player

Seems like the Aussies were prpared to had a bit of Biff out early as well?

| The players need to relish the step up in class and not go into their shells, they have to be able to perform when it matters so it will be interesting to see if they can turn it around on saturday night.

| Bateman is ok to play but Ryan Hampshire is out, he was quiet by his high standards last week and i was looking forward to him putting it right.
He has picked up food poisoning or something.
