I agree give young lads a chance however I wouldn't mix it up to much we need practice at playing as team and trying out move. Try moves that don't need to go through Tommy, as I think he was over used in first half against hudd. I'd like to see goulding more...he's outstanding in reserves needs more opportunity without being giving the task of mopping up smith's poor defence skills.

Also the first academy game, Hull at home fro the academy and Hull away for the reserves.

C'mon Wigan

are there any stand out lads gunna be playing for the accadamy who have bright futures, most of them get rushed into the reserves though. Is there any players I should look out for in the academy game??

Richards
Phelps
Pryce
Bailey
Roberts
Tomkins
Smith
Prescott
Mcilorum
Coley
Lockers/Hansen
Mossop
Tomkins

Fielden
Riddell
Farrell
Flanagan

Save Gleeson for Saints as his debut as he should be well up for it!

Three tries last week means Pryce is in and Carmont gets a much needed rest.

Bailey starts as he’ll be good foil for Pryce and will be able to handle everything that’s thrown at him defence wise

Ainscough deserves a break and Phelps deserves a shot but Roberts needs game time and a confidence boost so he’s gotta stay.

Smith needs a confidence boost also and should be able to handle the NL1 defence right?

Prescott needs to play as long as possible to get game time and Coley’s form means he’ll be a handful.

Strong bench also if things aren’t going to plan.

Overall not a bad team really imo and still v.strong

I don't know the make up of the academy team yet, but would expect to see Melling and Marsh play.

Logan Tomkins and Josh Charnley (I think) still qualify at U18.

There's also Declan McLouglin, Matthew Sarsfield and Kyle Massam in the forwards.

doubt logan will play this week, seemed to injure his his shin last week in the reserves game, was limping quite badly
