Which number was Sutton? Do you know who number 16 was (possibly Hopkins?

Sutton was no.8, I think Hopkins was 16.

Ah I had mistakenly thought 8 was Greenwood. Yes Sutton did go well then, he's massive for an 18 year old! Hopkins needs to be a bit quicker in defence IMO he got caught out a couple of times.

Decent game I enjoyed it, Bateman was great for me, looks a really leader. Sarginson did well especially when he changed to the right centre. Also Hampshire was brilliant in linking up from the back.

On a side note, bit of a gripe with Leigh and tickets. I ordered 2 tickets over the phone on Thursday to pick up before the match as I didn't know there would be cash on the door, as was the case last year. I picked up the tickets and found 3 tickets in there and charged for 3 tickets too, even though the woman confirmed to me on the phone a payment of £24. I asked the woman at reception about it and she just said 'nothing we can do about it love'. Good job it was a good game so don't mind too much.

The three signings looked fantastic, very pleased that they seem to be working well with our systems. Hampshire and Burgess need first team game time too, they're getting too good for this level already.

I don't think so. Greenwood started at 10 and Sutton came on in the second half at 17.
Did you put the wrong numbers on

Would not be surprised to see Thornley on the wing with Sarginsson at centre vs the Giants.

Is Sarginson's defence up to facing Hudds yet?
I'd go Thornley centre and Burgess on the wing.

Just to be difficult, I'd go Sarginson at centre and Burgess out wide at this stage, we'll see how they get on in the next two games though

Team with numbers from my site match report - think they are correct.



I have to say that the numbers in comparison to the listed team sheet was an absolute cock up. Fans who don't go the academy will have been totally confused by it all, especially when they have no idea who many they are watching are. Someone along the line hasn't thought about that. One look at the team shows how stupid the numbering was.

re: my last post. Club say they submitted the correct numbers, seems it was leigh that just listed it on the sheet as 1-13 then subs etc. A shame because it wasn't easy behind the posts.

Having just rewatched the game with commentary. Starters are right, as are Thornley, Hopkins and Tierney, 17 was Wright and 20 was Lever. Not sure about the rest though

Was 20 definitely Lever? He looks to have bulked up and he was impressive. I thought Ben Austin looked very good as well and it's nice to see there's plenty more lads yet to make debuts who surely will this year.

The production line is unbelievable at the moment.

I'm only going off the Wigan TV commentary to be honest. Having looked at the squad pics I think 20 might be Sutton actually, 17 was definitely Wright though

I've checked today, Sutton was no.8.

Sutton was 8 I've just watched the game again on Wigan t.v. I thought he did well.

Hi rogues, did you enjoy your day at the LSV ? Some big lads coming through for you and Sargison looks a brilliant acquisition

I did indeed, always do. We met up in the Park for a couple of beers pre match, service was a bit slow as there was a christening (and they ran out of bitter). It was great to meet up with a few friends we hadn't seen for a while. Enjoyed the game, and good luck for the rest of the season I think you'll be there or thereabouts. Leigh appear to be heading in the right direction.

Number 20 was Lever who looked impressive and I believe he's just turned 18. Some good young forwards coming through!

Lever looked impressive. I can't believe how much size he's put in these past couple of years. He looks about ten stone wet through on his profile picture on the club site.

If they get plenty more minutes in to the likes of him and Sutton in pre season and they continue to impress then any need I thought we had for another prop may disappear. I know Lever is classed as a backrower but he looks like he'd handle a switch to front row without too much bother.

Why did you ever doubt me Brian

Because I know you



Are you going to Aus?

No, George is though.

Tyldesley were one of the original NU breakaway sides, but went back to the lesser code in the early 20th century (still playing in it, too).
