Wire won 32 - 20.

dear oh dear not wigans day...can see a good nights sleep coming

It's not over until it's over.

Top two places in the U20's are now between Warrington and Salford as Leeds only managed a draw with Widnes last night.

im pretty sure it was over when the hooter went.

and no wigan..jeez things must be bad,you never know e few from this lot might make it to 1st team level..how dare we

Doubtful really. Too young and not bought in.

typical Wire..no youth system......How did Bridge go?

Bridge (senior) didn't see too much of the ball and was fairly well marked. He did make two good 'belligerent' breaks though, and I was quite impressed with him.

However the player that caught my eye was Laithwaite. He looked full of confidence, got through a lot of work, and ran some really good angles. He is not as fast as Currie, but the two look quite similar. He must be nailed on for a fair number of 1st team games next year if that performance is anything to go by.

I also like Broughton, he is looking quite a mature player after his stint in the Championship. Self assured, good positioning play, good tackler and a calming influence on the team.

Apart from the last 10 minutes or so when the whole team seemed intent on sunbathing rather than playing rugby, it was a really professional performance. Although I suppose they were disrupted by a couple of injuries.

A bit harsh to say they were more interested in sunbathing!!! We were disrupted by MORE than a couple of injuries; we had to play the last 10 minutes with 12 men because we had nobody fit to go back on and had already used all of our 8 substitutions. The only reason Wigan scored them 2 late tries was due to the extra man.

Every single player stood up today and can be rightly proud. Ben Evans did 80 minutes at prop in his first game back after 3 months out and was outstanding.

Chris Bridge was outstanding, especially in the second half in both attack and defence.

Yes, you are right about the injuries, they certainly took their toll on the team.

I was not that impressed with Pat Richards today. Obviously he was well marked, but I thought he would have made more of an impression.

Laithwaite for a run out at London on Friday maybe?

It was his first game in months and I would imagine he will need a few more games to get up to speed. Hopefully he can get his fitness back soon because Thornley/Gelling arent really doing the business in his absence.

Richards only played for the first half though didn't he and was replaced by Ryan King at half time. That was the intention just to give him half a game.

I suspect he may get 80 minutes v Salford in the U20's on Saturday.

Yes, good thought. I was wondering if they might play Currie, but it might be a bit much so soon after the tour.

I think Richards is a class act, but he doesn't seem the same after that injury last year. He has been unlucky.

Laithwaite did really well, his spells with Leigh and KR must have done his confidence a boost. Great prospect, his tackling work rate must be higher than most first teamers. surprised he only got a 12 month extension last week!!!!!!

Wigan beat Salford 72 - 16 tonight so I think that will guarantee Wire top place.

Congratulations.

For 32 - 20 you get a trophy
For 72 - 16 you get sod all.

Do you?

Are the u20s still playing at the Stoop today at 5.45pm kick-off?

Yes.

If you are going, wouldn't mind a bit of a report if poss.

28 - 16 to Warrington early in second half

54 - 26 FT

Excellent, thanks for that
