Actually, I think 3 or 4 of theirs got bans as well.

Sadly the referee was not disciplined. The brawl which happened seconds before the hooter need never have happened had he taken control 10-15 minutes earlier when the niggle set in. Very unsavoury Widnes supporters too.

If you want another RFL inconsistency. Had the brawl happened at SL level, the number suspended would be 1 per team. They certainly would never have suspended this number. Ah well, got to set an example an all that, best of british rubbish

Am I alone in thinking that that isn't a particularly informative post?

Ashton and Gleeson in the centres, they should win easily. Leeds main threat comes from out wide or young Walsh up the middle. The subs bench shows just what depth of talen we have at this age group

Wigan Warriors

Mark Brocklehurst, Andrew Thornley, Sean Gleeson, Chris Ashton, David Small, Steven Roper, Sam Tomkins, Lee Jewitt,Thomas Coyle, Matt Astley, Darryl Kaye, Neil Holland, John Walker

Subs - Lee Mossop, Earl Hurst, Luke Rhoden, Eamon O'Carroll

I know people are upset at U21s going but to put out a team like that with so many missing is fantastic and bodes well for the next few years if they are looked after.

Huge props to Roper, that says a helluvah lot about him. I personally think he'd make a great hooker but rest assured he should have a very good career come what may.

Astley is an old fashioned hard as nails type prop IMO. Almost Australian like in his no fear approach.

Hope Ashton gets some 1st team opps if/when Rads gets injured next year.

Glad about Sam

Anybody know if a GF win = everybody in the squad getting a medal or just those who play on the day of the final?
