According to Bilko's site the most individual points scorred in one match by a Wigan player is 44!

Can Pat touch that record?

A very strong team for a game like this. I am surprised though that Tuson is in the 17 after he missed 2 bad tackles that led to tries in the Crusaders game last week.

I was going to ask about that, I only watched the highlights but it seemed Tusons defense was non exisitent for two tries. Not what we expect.

Thats why I am surprised, Maguire has dropped players for far less. I have noticed though that Maguire is a lot more likely to drop players after a loss than a win.

I'm a little unimpressed that he's playing the strongest squad possible. This is the perfect chance to blood some of the youngsters.

You'd be even more unimpressed if half the squad looked disjointed (having had nearly two weeks break) and got beat by Quins a week on Friday.

Madness...surely this is a game to give some younger prospects a run out?

Re: Team v Barrow : Thu May 05, 2011 6:55 pm  

I'd have liked to have seen a couple of the young lads given an opportunity but then this side again continues to breed a culture that you earn a first team shirt and don't get given one based purely on the strength of the opposition.

As for Tuson I totally agree he's a lucky lad. I was surprised after the game on Sunday that nothing was really said about the 2 missed tackles because they were very poor and the lad didn't look himself. His usual energy just didn't seem there and hopefully we'll see an improvement this week. There was quite a debate on here last week that we wouldn't miss Hansen and in 5 second half minutes on Sunday I think the argument was put to bed.

Serious question...

If we dont blood some young prospects in games like this...when do we??
