Edited for equality!

You will find nobody more appreciative or passionate about young players and there ability regardless of who they play for, the development of players like Shenton, Westerman, Pitts, Tomkins, Ainscough, Myler, Turner, Cudjo, Lawrence, Fergusson (better add him or Vasty may have a fit!) etc etc etc is one thing that i have enjoyed more than any other this year.

I am actually enjoying getting out and watching kids in amateur games as well as I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way

That could be making of a very good team & YES it's a good job you did put Dale Ferguson (class) in or i would have declared WAR on Wigan

i think both Tomkins and Ainscough are very good prospects and was surprised when i heard that there was a chance that neither of them would start.

Tomkins looks to have the X factor every time i have seen Wigan play.

I think Ainscough has a few weaknesses defensively but who hasn't?

Disappointing perfomance. Poor show lads. Hopefully defeat yesterday will turn out to be a one match blip and that normal service is resumed in Edinburgh. w*g*n can have their two points, because we'll get 'em in the Challenge Cup. Just keep those scrawny bandits Leulaui and Ainscough quiet, especially Ainscough.

WE'LL BE BACK FOR YOU, PIE-EATERS!!!

And even if they do it won't matter.

There's even more coming through.

This weekend
Wigan beat Wakefield U18 at Orrell 36 - 10
Wigan beat Wakefield reserves 62 - 8 at Wakefield.

And what will poor Wakefield do then?

Where's the next generation of Wakey players coming from?

All the rest aside, Ainscough is special IMO and although other players come through i doubt they'll be the same quallity.

weve got a few forwards coming through aswell, ben davies at prop who in a couple of years will be a monster, he had korkidas in his back pocket against hudds reserves the other week.

mossop is another quality player, currently on loan at barrow- given a chance he could be a gareth hock without the brain explosions!

liam farrell, yes! another farrell! along with ainscough he was the player who the aussies loved! hes agressive, skillfull, strong- goes with the name, he is another future gb star.

ian thornley- this lad is going to be huge, hes 17 and hes been playing reserve rugby this year, hes about 6 ft 4 and he is a centre and if he continues to develop the way he is doing he will be britains falou!

To be fair, I'd fancy our lass's mothers chances of getting the better of Korki.
