A young Wigan squad, but 82 first team appearances between them last season:

Crosby (0 starts, 8 sub); Dudson (5,5); Gelling (13,0); Lloyd (1,2); Murphy (2,0); Powell (1,0); Spencer (0,4);
Thornley (5,0); Tomkins (3,6); Taylor (14,13 at Hull KR).

Eight of that squad have got SL squad numbers at Wigan for 2013:-

17 Thornley; 20 Dudson; 21 Taylor; 22 Gelling; 23 Tomkins; 24 Powell; 25 Lloyd; 26 Crosby. (SL squad numbers normally up to 25, but 18 at Wigan is devoted to 'Warriors Fans')

I bet their salaries add up to far more than our lots do though

Im very disappointed at Wanes attitude towards the game ,i was hoping he would field a stronger side ,anyway we should field our Strongest side , as reported PR intends doing so , and knock up 40+ past them the same as last year , HAPPY DAYS .

Be very disappointed if we don't beat them by 40

If Wane wants a competitive game we need to stick 80 past them, and see what he sends next year. There is a lot of talent in that team, with a big pack and a very highly rated half back plus 2 centres in the mix for first team. It may not be the stroll some may expect imo and we need to unleash hell first 10-15 to let them know its war.

I think Alan is after my clipboard this season...

Seems Hopkins and Parker will be the starting props with Duffy and Ostick replacing them.. I can't recall having seen Ryan Duffy play. Is he a big lad ?

That most certainly is Wigan's youth side.

I'm surprised we have not included a couple of our up and coming juniors of our own such as young Josh Ward along with a mixture of our more experienced first teamers.

I do feel for 2014, it may now be time to invite other SL teams down to the LSV for a pre season friendly.

One that will take a run out in a first class stadium against one of the top teams outside of Super League a little more seriously.

Very big - they had difficulty getting a shirt to fit him at Barrow. He has lost weight this off season, under our punishing training regime.

Not if it's technical, Dave. If however, you refer to the old-fashioned clipboard....?

Thanks wigan, you've just knocked about 2000 leythers off the gate. When that team gets out around the town it will hardly be worth switching the floodlights on. No regard for the sport outside super league whatsoever!
