Back in the day and we were stuffed with our reserves/fringe players?

How things change now. That day Joynt, Gleeson, Jonkers, Bibey and Feanuati started who you would regard as regulars. The likes of Gardner, Wilkin,Roby and Graham also played but for the purpose of this, they can be classed as the Lomax, Wheeler and Ashursts of today.

So we're allowed 5 regulars, none of whom play in a pivotal position.

Lets have a go.

Armstrong
Foster
Gidley (for Gleeson)
Dean
Meil (For Feanuati)
Lomax
Eastmond
Graham (for Jonkers)
Wheeler
Emmitt
Ashurst
Dixon
Wilkin (for Joynt)

Fa'asavualu (For Bibey)
Frodsham
Yates
Bostock (who played that day)

I suppose the point I'm trying to make is that if Potter decided to do a Millward we would be far better eqipped to deal with it now with the kids we are bringing through. The bench isn't brilliant granted but if you compare it to the team we put out in 2004 with our young uns, it's a mile away in terms of class.

Put it one way, I'd fancy that team to finish comfortably mid table in SL this season.

If it did happen I would put alot of money on the opposition

But you wouldn't. That's the point I'm making.

Compare this to the 2006 side who went to, and almost beat a full strength Catalans side

Ian Hardman
Gaz Langley
Craig Littler
Lee Gilmour
Dean McGilvray
Craig Ashall
[iMatty Smith[/i
Nick Fozzard
Ian Webster
Paul Leyland
Vinnie Anderson
Paul Clough
James Graham
[iScott Moore[/i
Neil Rigby
Tommy Hodgkinson
Ste Bannister

I'd be interested to see that side that went to Bradford, does anyone know what the full line up was?

Contrast to Warrington this weekend who had 2 on international duty, 1 out injured, and then briers picked up an injury after 13 mins of the game. So call it 4 players out and they didnt get a sniff of winning the game. Not good when you lose a few and it all falls down around you. We on the other hand, shove a ton of teenagers in hats in the team, and hey presto we have a winning combination.

SEND IN THE KIDS

You can't win anything with kids

That team would lose about 60-0 even to the current Bradford team.

It'd beat the current Wigoon team.

We could play a youthfull team and still beat Wigan at KR.

1. Lomax
2. Armstrong
3. Dean
4. Foster
5. Meli
6. Wheeler
7. Eastmond
8. Graham
9. Roby
10. Cayless
11. Ashurst
12. Dixon

14. Faasavalu
15. Puletua
16. Hargreaves
17. Pryce

Your full team couldn't beat us 6 weeks ago.

You are in the clowds mate. No way would that team beat Wigan. The full team struggles as it is. Wigan aren't as bad as they make out. They'll be in the running for the GF this season.

The most exciting game that season.

I never take anything you say into account.

If Wigan put less than 50 points on that line-up, then they would feel disappointed.

¿Qué?

OK then.

1. Lomax
2. Armstrong
3. Foster
4. Dean
5. Bainsy

12. Dixon
13. Clough

14. Ellis
15. Emmitt
16. Frodsham

We wouldent need 4 subs, that team would win by 50 plus against your shower!!

We could put out a far better youthful team tbh....

No you could'nt.

It'd be far better in your typicall small Wigan brain but in reality the Saints youth are far superior. As are the first team.

How about you look at the reserves league table: wigan.rlfans.com/fusion_pages/in ... age_id=875 I think you'll find we've won 12 from 12, whereas your kids have only managed 8 from 10.

We tend not to sign players like Tim Smith, Richie Mathers and Karl Pryce to play in our reserves though.

Fair point well made!
