In game I liked what Lilley is doing. I watched the highlights on the club sites and Lilley has 3 involvements in the build up to Watkins try. His last involvement puts Watkins into the gap. All 3 touches are quality. I bagged him early doors but as time has gone on I love what I see.

Great kid with loads of potential.

Lilley is far from the finished article but he has two great traits. He has lots of confidence in himself, almost a swagger about him for one so young and isn't afraid of trying things or the failure that may bring. The plenty of game time and the testing circumstances of this year should stand him in good stead for the future.

Good performance apart from losing the ball to put them back in the game. JJB top tackler with 40 odd followed by Segeyaro with about 36 as his influence grows. Did Moon get injured? Ref allowed too much wrestling and only penalized Charnley once for moving off the mark

JJB 43 and Segeyaro 40 tackles. Watkins back to form and big game from Ablett with pack solid except Achurch. Both half backs involved giving more options on attack and sound defense.

He was poor against Hull, but really stepped up last night. Hope we keep giving him the game time

Re: Wigan H : Sat Jul 16, 2016 9:13 am  

Lilley will have poor games, like everyone else. As a youngster probably a few more. But he's playing in a pressure position and will surely be getting lots of feedback and backing from the people behind the scenes. Just a shame some people like to write youngsters off if they don't tear it up week after week

So do we think the Sutcliffe switch to full back is permanent?

He seems to be growing into the role and I don't think Zak will be back.

Probably. He looks solid enough on current evidence. Lots of work to do of course.The middle 8s should be a good time for him to improve his game on attack, chiming into the line and linking etc.. if we can get on top in some of the matches.

I dont think it is permanent but he may play there for a year or two to ease the pressure off him, then get moved back into the halves, it is a lot more common in the NRL with young halves

I hope he eventually is moved back to 6 as on the whole there is an all time low of quality british halves
