i drove past Rose Bridge last night on the way to the gym. Cars parked everywhere, so i have a feeling that there may have been a nice little crowd on to watch the game too.
One of my friends has been doing some work at Wigan, and he said he's looking forwards to seeing some of them develop and hopefully onto 1st team. You have a mix of abilities / attitudes with the lads at that age, and it may not always be the ones you think who make it. I'll ask for his views on the Saints team to see if anyone stood out for you
Cheers. Rogues is usually the man for the Academy games. I wonder if he went last night. I went to the game last year at St Jude’s and there must have been 400-500 there. It was rammed last year but I couldn’t make it last night.
It’s all cycles in Sport. Wigans Academy was poor last season but the U16s were outstanding. Now all that U16s team are playing Academy and it’s a great Academy team this season.
There’ll be one or two superstars for both teams. As mentioned previously Farrimond was the best player on the pitch last season followed by Robertson at Saints. I’d be amazed if those two don’t break through
It does seem too that Warrington have got their act together with their youth set up.
