[TDD91]

Wigan Select team beat London Skolars 70-6 today in The City of London. Game was played on a narrowed pitch with 10 a side, due to poor pitch conditions.

The sons of Ellery Hanley & Paul Sculthorpe both played for Wigan

 

[JFK Files]

Even though the opposition wasn’t great the Wigan youngsters were outstanding, 4 or 5 from last years under 16.
Remember the name Matt Nicholson, a lick forward who has got everything to go a long way.
Hanley is still only 17 and is a tremendous prospect and Havard is ready for SL now.

I thought this match in previous years had been Wigan v the Broncos? Why the change to playing Skolars?

It started as Skolars vs Broncos, but Wigan replaced the Broncos from 2014 onwards. Always send down a team of Reserves/Academy lads, with a couple of fringe players to add leadership.

So Wigan haven’t played the Broncos at the HAC before in the Capital Challenge?

No mention of it on the Wigan site

States that Skolars have hosted it 16 times, Wigan have played 7 of those.

Wigan v Leeds was quite a good standard considering the conditions. 4 props, 2 from each team impressed me the most. Bullock & Byrne for Wigan and Holroyd & Oledzki for the Rhinos.

 

[Perth Red]

Bloody hell we've lost another forward to a bad injury. That's three forwards in two games gone. Can we stop playing friendlies already!
