Reminder - the game is now on Thursday with a 7 p.m. kick off

I wonder if Pat will get another run out?

Fielden will

So I believe.
Good news for him at long last.

Anyone know how much ticket prices are etc cant find anything online

Yep Fielden has tweeted hes playing Thursday. More game time for Pat as well. Tommy hoping to be back for Hull KR. That will give us a massive boost coming into the play offs. Saints on the final day for Stu's first game back in the first team ???

Free if you are season ticket holder.
Otherwise I think it's £4 (£2 concessions)

Why Thursday and not Saturday?

Football?

Possibly.

They use the same car parking stewards for both Rugby and Football, so with the football being initially scheduled for Saturday the U20 game could have been moved to Thursday.

Football? And how do they use the same car park when we play 20s games at edge hall road? Surely wendyball shouldnt affect anything?

See my post above yours.

My point was wat has football parking got to do with it when one's at the JJB and one's at Edge Hall Road?

Of course it does. The stewards can't be in two places at once.

Took some explaining Rogues but I think he got there in the end!!

Another advantage of our fabulous rental deal with the landlord.

Seriously?!



How many stewards do you need for a 20s game? never seen more than half a dozen myself....can't see it being so difficult?

Last time to explain.

They are the SAME stewards that steward the East Stand Car Park. =#FF0000It's a shared cost. It's not a problem.

How many extra "paying" people would need to attend an U20 game to provide for those stewards.
I reckon 90 - 95 % of the attendees at the academy games are season ticket holders.

With the prospect of both Pat and Fielden getting a game I might get myself up there on Thursday!

Hi, just enquiring as travelling straight from work tomorrow for the 20' game is there food available at the ground or will it be advisable to bring something with me, thanks in advance.

There is usually a burger van there... well everytime ive been there has been

Winning easily, Stu went well first 20 mins, but Preccy off with what looks a bad injury to his left knee.

Final score Wigan 72 - Salford 16

Gelling ran riot.

Shame for Prescott. Fielden was on the touchline waiting to come on for his second spell (to replace Prescott)

Prescott took his last drive in and went down in the tackle. He then had to be helped off the field by two people, it appeared to be an injury to his left leg / knee.

Would stu warrant a bench spot and 20 mins as 4th prop on monday night?

Gelling was sensational. The best player on the field by a mile. He looks so much more comfortable at centre and Goulding and Carmont should be looking over their shoulders for the last few games this season (not during games obviously).

Powell looks to be getting back to fitness which is good, put in a lovely Finch-like pass with Lloyd making a Hock style line break.

Greg Burke impressed me with his defence. He must have been the top tackler and really gets stuck in.

Thornley was hit and miss. He made a good break at one point and completely messed it by failing to pass to his winger but he defended well and made up for it with a 70 metre try late on.

Prescott looked like he was easily on course to make the side against Salford and was doing well as you'd expect and then the inevitable happened. If he's still playing in two years time I'll be amazed.

Fielden looked like he enjoyed himself out there and I wouldn't mind seeing him make the bench against Salford. He ran well, tackled well and while he clearly wasn't fully fit he should do well for a short stint.

Murphy going off injured was unfortunate as he started the game very well and deserved to score after an 80 metre effort but was caught by the very quick Dan Brotherton which is no shame. Russell moved to fullback but for me there's no doubt who the better of the two is. Russell just doesn't look comfortable, failed to take a simple catch to prevent a 40/20 and fumbled the ball near his own line and nearly conceded a try.

I also thought Ben Flower was pretty anonymous in his first spell and I can't remember seeing him return to the field later on.
