[cpwigan]

CPwigan who coaches the academy now if Shaun Wane does the reserves? Is it Jed Byrne?

John Pendlebury

[cpwigan]

were did they all go on at and who started out of our lads who have just stepped up

Brad fullback and wingers were new lads. they all looked reasonable. Bad game for them though.

Ian Thornley/Stef Marsh starting centres. Both played the full 80. Marsh did Ok.

Brett Robinson at 6, took off then came back on last 15 minutes.

Joe Mellor at 7. I saw this kid last season and thought what a natural. Pure talent. Very poor tonight. Needs to be more dominant if he is going toplay 7. He should have bollocked Gerrard and demanded the play went left.

Props Kyle Massam/Gerry Bridge

Hooker logan Tomkins took off at 30 minutes. Came on for last 10/15.

Second rowers. All new boys. Sarsfield started. They kept interchanging four of them. All found it hard work. Nothing wrong with that. A bright red head, a blondie. Do not know them really.

Dec was a reserve. Kiera Thompson was a reserve too.

Is Thompie injured?

Yes, tompy get injured at the england game in france i think.

The 2nd rowers were probably jack smith, sarsfield, jack hughes.

Jack hughes has been playing alot better for judes then sarsfield. Expect big things from him in the up coming years, he has strength, size, pace, good kicking game and a very good passing game. (Use to play loose for golborne )

yep, unfortunatly he is, was talking to him at the leeds game and he told me about it, its something in his back , and hes out for about 6-12 months, really gutted i could tell when he was talking to me. Did the lad from Halifax play at all

[nathan_rugby]

6 to 12 months, that is a blow. The current england captain he is aswell.

Hopefully james rimmer and alex marsh will be making debuts soon for wigan. They have been signed i think.

[shawcross da warrior]

ha ha ha marsden he was telling me today he was gunna score 2 at least , hes a sound lad kyle...

[cpwigan]

Shame that. Mind you Thompie and Gerrard can never play in the same team. Both love that right side.

Not sure. Hard to recognise the new lads. All the second rowers looked similar size
