Who coaches the 18's? Is it Pendlebury? Thought Wane had an input into both but obviously with the reserves being away that would have been impossible yesterday.

According to the official site........

Reserve Team Coach - Shaun Wane
Head of Youth Development- John Pendlebury
Head of Programme Development for Players and Coaches - Ray Unsworth
Scholarship Coach - Kris Radlinski
Skills Development Coach - Dave Lyon
Talent Identification & Player Welfare - Brian Foley

My cousins first game today (Matt Crow). Pleased for him scoring on his debut!!

Yeah well done Matt! Could anyone who watched comment on his performance? Go easy though as he's a relative haha

Crow without a 'e' too. Not like Russell. We don't want a Riddell Wigan Warriors shop merchandise situation when he gets famous

thought Declan McLoughlin looked very elusive and seemed like a Benji Marshall-style type of player. He has a good step and has an eye for gaps and seems to have a good pair of hands...He was probably one that caught my eye the most.

Also Adam Davies was very good too. He made some very good yards and seemed very strong. He isn't really that big, but he is tall and once he starts to fill out and gain some muscle mass I can see him being a handy player. Funnily enough, he also has a good pair of hands and he even kicked out of hand quite effectively on a couple of occaisions.

One more player that stood out from the first second was the hooker, Liam Thompson. He came across as a very mature player and controlled the ruck very well.

Overall, the side played reasonably well but lacked a bit of aggression and sometimes composure. I'm sure as the season goes on they will improve in all areas.

Matt Crow is SH!T pmsl





You can spot the Prior brothers a mile off!

Kieran Richards is Pat Richards brother, seriously. He is over on holiday and was asked to play due to low numbers and the academy playing the same day. And Mick Farrell is a personal fitness trainer who used to play for Oldham, he has helped out on odd occaisions previously.

I thought the young lad who came on at prop towards the end of the first half did well. Adam Jones who played with 15 on his back. He took the ball up hard but he also managed to offload qiute a few times as well. It's good to see props hit the line hard but it is the offloads that can really open up defences. I am looking forward to seing this lad again hopefully on Good Friday morning at Orrell and hopefully he will get a bit more game time.
