For those of you who want to miss the Christmas shopping, Wigan Academy take on Aussie Schools at Orrell at 12 noon tomorrow Saturday 29th November.

I'm led to believe that this is one of the best young Aussie sides that have ever toured here and include a couple of Greg Inglis like/size monsters.

They then play Leeds on the 2nd December before the two test matches at Leigh.

Game 1 is on Sat 6th December 2 p.m Kick off
Game 2 is on Fri 12th December 7 p.m. kick off

Should be well worth watching.

Edit
The Aussies started their tour with an 86 - 6 win over The Regional Academy in Workington on Wednesday.

Why are you posting this on a Saints forum? You really are a desperate individual.

I'd say it's an idea for people who have spare time could go and watch some of the potential superstars of the future from Australia

Exactly and I believe Ollie Davies is in the England squad for the International games.

YG really does suffer from paranoia .

Seen you was 18-6 up but got beat 36-18. Sounded like Doran had a good game at stand off as well, but he didn't look up to much in his limited time playing Super League. What names stood out for the Aussies as ones for the future?

Great entertainment
The score does not represent the game. Wigan lost four players through injury in the first half and then another two in the first ten minutes of the second half. At that point it was still 18 - 6 for Wigan. Unlimited interchanges were used and the Aussies made five at once and kept on making them. Wigan ran out of numbers (no subs available) and when you see the size of some of these Aussie players you will understand why the game got away from Wigan late on.

#1 Mitchell is a very dangerous runner, big strong, fast and elusive #8 Host had a great game, #11 Leilua is a monster, a real handful #6 Lamb kicked them from all over the place.

Ryan Sutton was outstanding for Wigan and my m.o.m. Sadly I hear he is Aussie bound in 2016.

I would advise any RL supporter to get down to Leigh for the next two games I'm really looking forward to it.

I'm guessing a few of these Aussies could have played against Saints when the tour went over last year?

Yes there was a few that i can remember, Oliver Clark the fair haired prop played for Penrith and the big forwards Luciano Leilua and Jacob Host played in the StGeorge/Illawarra Dragons game.
Hame Sele who had a great game last night was also in that Dragons team too.

Anybody been to LSV on a match day? Where do you park, is there parking there?

Lot's of parking at the ground and at the Whistling Wren adjacent to it.

What they charging to get in Rogues?

Adults £5, concessions £3

Brain is a true Rugby League supporter who loves to promote and support the Junior version of the game . I take it you didn't read the bit about test matches and Leigh

For somebody who is never off other teams forums spouting forth the words pot kettle and black come to mind .

Regards , EW

I hope Brain wasn't too offended by my post and enjoys the game in Liegh at the weekend.

Would have to be a very shallow person . So wouldn't think there's a problem

Sorry but, there is no need for this on any forum, grow up YG.

Chill out man. Is everyone on their period today or something, jeez!!

Mirror mirror on the wall!!

The Aussies beat a strong Leeds side last night 38 - 24.

Saturday will be very interesting, I hope England have selected a big pack, otherwise I think we may get mullered.

How old are these lads Rogues under 16?

U18's I believe, but both Wigan and Leeds played some of their u19's in those games. I'm not sure what the break date is for the Aussies though as ours is 1st September. A mate of mine e-mailed me to say that almost all of the aussie lads are contracted to pro clubs and play in their U20 competition over there.

As I've said previously some of them are absolute monsters, and sadly they're not all in the forwards.

There's normally no need for Rogues Gallery to post on here but he frequently does and most of the time they arnt as constructive as this post (they are normally just trolling attempts). YG is probably just fed up of him as are plenty regular posters on here and has let his frustrations get the better of him. I know you like [igood old 'Brian'[/i but plenty including me arnt so keen.

I think he might still be banned from Redvee

so I expect he'll be on overdrive here.

One day you'll be old and senile

** Reminder**

Game kicks off at 2 p.m today at Leigh.
I believe that Ollie Davies has been selected to start in the 2nd row for England.

Good luck to all the England lads, it's going to be difficult against what is an outstanding Aussie side.
Watch out for Latterell Mitchell, Brock Lamb and Luciano Leilua all superb players plus prop forward Jacob Host who impressed me at Orrell last week.
