How do you think that went? It is nice to be back in the groove. We looked a very underweight side but given the youthful nature of the squad that is to be expected. It really was men against boys. Did anyone set down a marker for the future?
P.S Good win for The Skolars. I would hope that this fixture has a future as it showcases all the good work that is being done by some visionary clubs in the South East.

Wigan looked a bit disjointed and unorganised early on, but when you consider that only Kyle Shelford was over academy age, and there were some first year (U17's) in there, that was probably a major contribution. I was really impressed with Liam Byrne when he came on, I don't recall ever seeing him before but he ran hard and straight causing the Skolars a few problems. Sammy Kibula is much more than a battering ram, at 17 year of age he could be a big player in more ways than one. He showed yesterday that he also has a decent pass/offload in his skillset. Harry Smith, the very young halfback (U17) looked promising. It'll be interesting to see how they develop in the academy this coming year. 1st game is v Widnes at Orrell on 12th Feb 2 p.m. kick off.

Very good player is Liam, he can pass the ball as well. Looking forward to seeing how Harry Smith develops too, certainly two to watch.

I was impressed by Liam Byrne too Rogues, any idea how old he is and who he has played for ?

It was a shame that the lads didn't have names on their jerseys to help with identification for those who don't follow the academy game closely.

skolars i think did themselves proud. avg age 21ish and most from london so not bad. i know wigan are a young team but that young team has beaten us every year until now. i love this game & day. be good to get more wigan fans down. i know its a friday afternoon but everyone should go at least once as its so unique
