What do people think, never seen him play?

What happened to the cockney guy we picked up - Jamie Acton?

We'll certainly know far more about how good our young lads at the club are under Shaun Wane this season than we ever would have under Madge's tenure at the club. No-one really knows whether Matty Russell will be a good fullback, Sam Powell a good halfback until they're given a shot.

Let's hope we find a couple of gems.

Bit harsh on Madge, he clearly didnt think any of the youngsters were ready last year and liked using his full strength squad at every opportunity. That's not to say if he stayed here longer he would never have used them.

It was pretty short sighted not to debut any of Logan, Mellor or Powell last year though, knowing that we would be losing Deacon and not replacing him. I'm not convinced Madge would have done that if he was staying.

Fair comment, I didn't mean it to come across as a dig at Madge. Although he could have and in hindsight perhaps should have utilised his squad more (Mellor/Crosby/Hughes) on occasions last year.
