Don’t forget Benny. Was out best winger 2003-2005. Became a world class prop. Not sure he ever tried the wing again though, but Sims popped up there a few times and even scored once IIRC?

Sita was 5/1 to score anytime this morning, and is now 6/4.

Silesi Finau played prop one game, then wing in the next back in the Wilderspool days.

Better than alright, longstaff, Dean and thewlis have been fantastic, brand is playing well too and I wish Robson was staying. Patton, Dean and walker have run the show. Again the players attitude and desire is absolutely spot on. I hope these boys can pick up the win they deserve. If kibula can play to his weight he could be a really, really good player. There's a future in the game for every one of our young players. Brilliant first half.

Still think Salford will come out and save their embarassment but I am pleasantly proven wrong by our lads. We've been electric in attack at times and could be a score or two even further in front without forward pass calls, to think we could've had 30 on them by half time is amazing. Defence has generally been brilliant too. Had a bit of a shake when Doro and Kibula subbed on but held on. Only mistake there at the end was neither centre or winger really getting off the floor and directly challenging the ball. We wanted to wait till they caught it and wrap them up but just got it wrong.

How slow are Kibula and Latu when they take the ball up ? Patton has had a good game and is creating good chances. I think the big problem for the young wolves will be to stop the big experienced Salford forwards from rolling forward in the second half.

doro looks superior to kibula, he's just too bloody big

Kennan brand is an awful centre, lost us this game with terrible play.

Barstewerds. Salford ought to be kind of embrassed at that tbh. Got out of jail with a penalty kick lol.

Jesus i thought we nicked that. Akouala sh*t off a shovel.

Phil Clarke wants Inu for man of the match. He’s just been shown up by a bunch of 17/18 year olds. But apparently that didn’t matter if you can kick a goal.

I DETEST heroic defeats, but, I'll take that one.
Some good performances from our kids, yet understandably, some naivety too.
More game time will benefit them.

Latu looks slower than Latchford Locks

Which only goes to underline what an attention seeking whopper Clarke is

Doro is streets ahead of Kibula for me. Longstaff was shattered by the end but is going to be an exceptional player - reminds me a little of Bateman. Dean and Thewlis also looking good. Could have won the game but a gutsy performance.

Great effort and no little skill from virtually all the players but that must be the end of Latu’s Warrington career.

Doro looks a real handful.

The QE2 turns quicker than Kibula seems to have no aggression for a big man, him Latu and brand are the only 3 I that can come out of that performance with some flack. The rest superb.

To be fair to poor Longstaff he had Paul Pauli picking him out to run over all night. Got knocked on his butt a couple times but generally stood up well. His only negative was over enthusiasm that eventually cost us the game really due to being offside which many of our team were most of the night to be fair. So close though. Thought we should have gone for the drop goal a bit earlier when we had 8 to go. Instead He drilled it down the short side and didn't find touch.

Quality effort that from basically the under 21s. Definitely 4/5 really good lads there who can make the step up easily.

Delighted with that tonight.

Have kicks to the corner gone out of fashion? We seemingly had 2 wingers over 6'4" tonight and I can't remember more than one attacking kick to the corner.

Probably sound like a grumpy old git. The lads were very good tonight, great enthusiasm shown by all the youngsters.

Great performance for youth & well led by Patton & Walker. Doro looks a real handful.

Akuola can help carry Latu's bags for him. The pair of them should have been rallying the kids but simply couldn't be bothered. I know Akuloa was on the wing but where were the Lineham/King/Charnley forward relieving runs? Lazy sod.
.
Psychological and morale victory to us, if the first choice 17 show that level of commitment we have nothing to worry about.

Doro was superb but then, they all were.

Walker was the on field leader tonight he has really progressed, quite an understudy!

Wouldn't hesitate giving these young lads a run again soon. Josh Thewlis and Eribe Doro look ready for SL with a few of the other boys not far behind.
What the he'll did we sign Latu for? I'm quicker than him and I'm really old!
