Yeah, the result isn't really as important as giving more exposure to more young players, some of whom might end up coming through for Superleague/England/GB in the years to come.

 

[Fairleigh Good!]

Ste Tyrer should be worth looking out for. The last time I read anything about him he was quoted as having said he wants Jamie Lyon's shirt off him.

No mate, not sure but i think their surname is spelt differently as well.

Chris Hill is an interesting selection, he is already playing first team at Leigh as a prop, but i remember seeing him playing a few years ago in the u/15 at standoff. He has grown big in a short space of time, very talented player.

So Wigan do have a good young scrum half after all, why persist with Dennis Moron? Coyle couldn't possibly be worse than Moran.

It makes me think 'what could of been' when i see the sh*t house in a England under 18's team (Danny Colquitt).

The lad has a heart as big as a pea!

Welldone on my buddies getting selected, Ste Tyrer, Dean Mcgilvray and Ste Bannister. I'm shocked Chris Frodsham isent in the team, must be carrying a inury.

 

[Big Mick]

Thomas Coyle and James Coyle are both good players.

Same with another St's player Nick Reddyoff, he'd defo be in there if he wasn't injured.
