Deacon also wouldn't have been on the other side kicking the ball against his own player to give us the ball further up the field for an accidental offside

Langley - Was absolutley outstanding
Orford - Awesome again
Kearney

Changed my mind completely after re watching on tv

Going to stick with Orford and Langley but switching Godwin in.

Menzies still had a top game, as did Scrutes but also going to give Worrincy a mention as allowing Roberts through aside, his running was pretty good and showed some promise. This is a mention, not a whole hearted advocation, he needs to put his shoulder in big time. As with one other poster, would rather see Donaldson in.

1. Langley
2. Orford
3. Wagga

1. Langley - Tore Wigan a new pipe.
2. Orford - Strong as an 'OX' for his two tries.
3. Whitehead - Workrate and heart is superb.

We're gonna have some backrow in the next few years.

It's his temperament that has impressed me as much as anything. He seems totally unfazed starting in what was a big game, a very cool head on young shoulders.

LANGLEY
ORFORD
WAGGA for his after game performance.

Ive said it before and stand by it, he's the best backrow prospect at the club.

He's slowly convincing me, I think all 3 of Donno, Elliott and Olbi have bright futures. At the end of last season it was in the Order above, but I think Whitehead has risen, he's totally capable of playing at SL level already and he can only improve.

Er...Donno's our next loose forward though?

Suddenly his nickname seems extremely appropriate...?

I missed the Wagga dance. I feel left out

I thought we were just talking back row in general?

Maybe one day we'll be seeing an all academy produced pack turn out?

Lilycrop
Horton
T Burgess
Whitehead
Langley
Donaldson

O'Brien
G Burgess
Olbison
Kopzcak


Wishful thinking I know




From what i've seen at academy level though, George Burgess has the potential to be the best English impact prop, as we generally tend to produce more hard-working ones than huge tackle-busting props.

Anyway, we have a good future with the amount of talent coming through in the pack is what i'm saying.

There's no doubt in my mind that Whitehead, Donaldson, Olbison & G Burgess will make it, some of the others will too, but I hope we can start producing more wuality backs, and the ones pushing through to develop into quality SL players (Hyde, Crookes, Wardle, Addy(playing SR atm though?))

Yet again Matt Orford takes number 1 spot after a fantastic game. Jamie Langley was just one vote behind and takes second spot. Wagga takes third by some margin.

Matt Orford - 3pts
Jamie LAngley - 2pts
Wayne Godwin - 1pt

This means that Ox has stretched his lead over Jamie Langley to two points. Both Langley and Orford are run away leaders after 5 rounds of super league.

1. Matt Orford - 10pts
2. Jamie Langley - 8pts
3. Nick Scrutton - 3pts
4= Rikki Sheriffe - 2pts
4= Eliott Whitehead - 2pts
4= Steve Menzies - 2pts
7= Dave Halley - 1pt
7= Brett Kearney - 1pt
7= Wayne Godwin - 1pt

What is this for anyway? Are having a RAB award at presentation night?

Albert Goldthorpe medal a poss for those two.

How many points do they have in AG medal race? Who's leading?

Matt Orford & Amos Roberts leading on 8 points.

Kearney has 5 points.

There was some talk of having an award to present at the end of the season. I'd be up for chipping in for one although not sure what everyone else thinks?

surprised theres not much fr kearney thought he had another decent game. IMO kearney is gunna be great for us this year, all the talk about orford and no question he is class but kearney coming in under the radar a bit and i love what i see so far.

motm could have been any one of the beatys the look on the wigans players and fans faces at the end of the game was priceless!!!

Let's see how it pans out but I agree if we can keep up the ratings after each game. Can you keep a record of all the scores?

I did suggest something a few weeks ago, happy to arrange something as plenty of others have sorted things out like yourself, Mission and Wiganbull.

I think I suggested some joke awards for on the board, maybe invite the winner and of course the Burgess twins

If there are enough up for it I'll set up a seperate post

I am happy to keep the scores up to date. I know that the Bulls have a Players Player of the Year but I would say that the fans Player of the Year would be fitting as well.

There already is a Fans' Player of the Year. Fans vote through e-mail to the club (and possibly other ways, I forget) and that award is given out at the awards do.

I hear it was presented last year by a quite awesome individual.
