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.
Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

Most idiotic post ever goes to Grimmy..... The way to restart should be an arm wrestle between a designated player from each side.

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 ?
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
