Barrow Vs Wigan

[cumbria_warrior]

what were the two lads called that played number 1 & 2? Was impressed by both them

[cpwigan]

1 would be Matty Russell and 2 ? Ryan King ? Both played for England Academy.

Cheers just found that on rfl fans on team sheet. The fullback looked like he played there all the time but it says on there usually plays wing? Looked confident in there game and made some good breaks

[cpwigan]

He has He was a FB all through his junior career and played for England Schools U15s there. He tended to get selected for the U20s so he was placed on the wing but he recently played for England Academy v Aus at FB. Very fast and light on his feet.

King the winger is fast, seem to be improving all the time etc and seems a smart RL player.

not seen Matt Russell play but all sounds good so far. is there a chance he could break into the first team. maybe if Sam has to move back to Stand off?

[The Eclipse]

Matt Russell reminds me of a young Billy Slater, if he turns out half as good that would be nice.

Could be one to watch in a season or so, or even early challenge cup possibly? Looked a good player and like has been said a bit of speed about him, lets also not forget Charnley, he was quicker than I expected and Barrows Nixon is meant to be fastest in there league and caught him up easy enough once or twice.

I think this year we will see charnley a fair bit

[THE 18th Man]

i hope we see Charnely play some games this year aswell. i think Carmont will retire at the end of the year and i hope he will be ready to just slot in his place
