Watched it earlier and can’t argue with the result, Wigan were the better side overall. The lads will have gained from the experience though and the club deserves some credit for being one of the very few teams to have taken the reserves league seriously this year. Most clubs have pretty much extracted the urine out of it this year, withdrawing from games, filling their teams with local amateurs and playing young scholarship lads before they are ready. It needs looking at for next season.
That’s there problem and possibly allowed us to test ourselves right to the last game this year. We have played a good mix of first teamers, real reserves and second and even first year players. Who’s going to benefit in the future, us or them?
Some real stand out young players for me who I knew little about but have real confidence that in an emergency they could step up.
Scriven (the Wigan commentary team loved him), he was everywhere, a real non stop action player, really liked him.
Camplin also looked useful, lots of enterprise.
Roberts a prop I think looks to have potential.
Of the more established youngsters Shaw and especially Windrow were the pick.
The two most experienced players on show led the line. Kershaw yer again ran his blood to water. Butler did well in attack but his defence was really good, put in a few crucial tackles to stop a truly runaway scoreline.
I firmly believe we missed Evans, at that level he has some real X-Factor but never mind.
Lots to be happy with.
Have Wigan cornered the market in oversized young props?
