Our hooker who has come on from the bench (Ratchford is it?) has helped turn the game, after we made a poor start. He’s been excellent.

18- 12 win.

Ratchford a clear MOM. I thought Kerr and Farrimond both looked a class apart as well. Wires fullback and the left centre looked extremely threatening.

Think you're referring to Lindop and Taylor-wray, both look class players. We will do our best to ruin them as usual!

Yeah, Wires full back and left centre and Ratchford the stand out 3 players in the game, Ratchford the match winner. Wigan probably a little lucky to get the win I thought, Wire blew some chances.
Only the 2nd/3rd game iv been on this season but if you’d have told me after the Saints game earlier this season that they’d make the final I would have said no chance.

Should be a good final. They’ve both beaten each other once this season so this is the decider.

It’s always nice to beat Wigan at any level so I’ll be gutted if we lose but at the end of the day it’s all about the development to first team now.

There’s going to be quite a few from both sides who we’ll see playing first team in the next few years
