george burgess was the best prop on the field by a country mile

Strewth.

England probably won the forward battle, but that may have been due to the sin binnings. I've never seen an Australian side so indisciplined.
The Aussie hooker and stand off both impressed plus the 16 who looks like a South Sea Islander.

Thanks for that.
The hooker Chad Redman was one of Newcastle Knights stars in last seasons under 20 NYC team, The standoff Jack Wighton plays for the Canberra Raiders, classy player too.

The Aussie props Groat and Grevsmuhl are awesome players, i didn't think England would match them there so well done to them.

Great result, and good from a Wigan point of view that some of our players were pivotal in England winning that game.

Never really heard much said about Powell on here, but hopefully he can continue to develop and join Sam and Mellor in the first team within the not to distant future.

Congratulations to the England team.

That doesn't surprise me - he was outstanding in both the the Reserves games v Bradford, and was probably MoM when they beat us at Orrell.

Great result for the lads, though, and well done especially to the Wigan contingent.

Which Aussie team has George Burgess signed for? I was speaking to his brother Tom pre match (he's also a monster) and he said that George was going over there.

Bunnies?

George has signed for Souths apparently.

I thought only one was binned?

George Burgess absolutley killed the Aussie pack to the extent that by the end of the game all they could resort to was all running in throwing snide punches in the tackle looking to start a fight.

The Aussies' discilpline was dreadful.

bilko....sorry to correct u but logan tomkins is one of the youngest in that year and he turned 18 in august .....not 19.....cheers mate

i read in the paper that russell crowe had taken george to same club as sam.....rabbitohs

Did Rhys get many chances? hopefully he will get picked for the other games and show what he can do.

George Burgess sounds a good un going to the NRL to be with his brother will really help his game.

Very weak wasn't he, considering the wraps he's been getting.

did rogues watch the game or did he just go to the game lol

How did the hooker Milner go? Same question re Jordan Thompson?

Rogues can't make the game next week, Christmas do for work, which I booked!

Milner was good, particularly his second spell. Thompson scored the try that got England back to within two points and was o.k. particularly defensively.

It looks likely that Fridays game will again be played at Leigh, and you're correct I won't be able to go.

No mention of Burgess in the report is a bit harsh, he was my MOTM.

What was downright shocking and appalling was the pie selection. I went for one about 20 mins before kick off and was told there was only Chicken Balti?!?! Is this a Blackburn Rovers influence?

It was my own fault, spent too much time messing around deciding whether to buy our new home shirt or not and didn't leave myself enough time to get a proper pie in Wigan. Had to make do with a hotdog!

Wish we sold them at The DW. Best part of a Latics away game is the Balti Pie.

Can't stand them, Meat and Potato, Steak, Cheese and Onion and Butter. That's all that needs to be on a pie list! Speaking of pies, my friend who came with me today (Stains fan) said to me "Bloody hell I can see why you're called Pie Eaters now, I've never seen so many people walking the streets eating pies in my life". He was gobsmacked.

Agreed, between him and Sam Powell IMO.
