Thanks Brian. That's my viewing for tonight sorted!!
Other than Farrimond which lads from last night (plus O'Loughlin) do you think are the potential best long term prospects?
Cheers

The club has just promoted five players to the first team however, there are lads who played last night who will still be eligible for the Academy next season.

Just finished watching it. A well deserved win. Farrimond definitely didn't go in to touch (well he didn't before the flag went up).

Really impressed with Hodgkinson and Kerr.

Kerr was my man of the match. Jack Farrimond will always catch the eye ( and I don't have a problem with that as he is a match winner ) but Kerr was outstanding during this game.

I believe Noah Hodgkinson is a cousin of Keeley Hodgkinson the Olympic 800 metre gold medal winner.

Josh Cartwright on the wing looked very dangerous, I've also seen him look good as a running second row.
Farrimond was not in touch, had he been fully fit I think he would have scored.

Cartwright was another who was impressive for sure. His early carries really helped Wigan get on top in the game. The only surprise through most of the game was the score line. Wigan seemed pretty dominant but could've easily lost the game.

Hodgkinson from very good stock then. I was pretty impressed with him.

I thought Cartwright was excellent particularly early on in the game when he gave us some great momentum.

I’ve heard great things about Lowe too so good to see him being in the first team squad next season.

Noah seems to glide over the turf.

Not sure on this Brian as Noah is 'Hodkinson' and Keeley is 'Hodgkinson'. Will confirm though as I grew up with his dad.
