Just read on the Blackpool forum that Holland nearly scored a 60 yard interception.

Good lad Neil!

Hi A. It was actually a one on one ball steal, Neil was only just caught by Craig Calvert. Blackpool scored on the next play because the Haven defenders were so far behind.

If it was any other team he probably would have scored as Calvert can shift more than the majority of wingers in Rugby League.

Wasn't he supposed to be 'The fastest man in rugby league' at one time.

there is a vid of him on YouTube and he is rapid to say the least.

He scored a cracking try for Wigan academy v Saints a few years back at Knowsley Road. IIRC a very young Joel Tomkins played at stand off for Wigan that day

I never realised that he is an Ex Wigan lad.

Why did we get shut?

Is he pure pace and nothing else?

Calvert didn't really make the tackle...he just distracted Holland enough for someone else to make the tackle from behind...Holland lifted Calvert off his feet with a hand-off as he tried to tackle him.

Holland was very impressive yesterday and seems to have a long stride which helped him get half the length of the field for the break away.

It's great news that both Holland and Davies are impressing at their new clubs, as we all know it can be difficult sometimes for young forwards to impress when going up against more psychically mature opposition, but these two lads really seem to be holding there own.

have you see the whitehaven squad holland came up against, and stood up against? they are a big physical bunch of blokes and it was a real test for him. he'll benefit a lot from that game and the run out against leeds in a few weeks too. he is really impressing me the times i've seen him at the panthers and look forward to him developing into a wigan first teamer in time to come

Id consider re-looking at this quote Pemps.

Has he been surpassed by Josh Charnley???

holland and davies will both make it at wigan in my opinion. In fact the only one who I dont think will make it out of that 21's pack from last year is Chris Tuson. Nothing against the lad I just feel as though there are many more players ahead of him at the moment and it's a credit to the standard of our second row that tuson can't force his way in.

Davies will be the next to break into our pack and I think we will see him alot more next year playing first team. I can see Feka leaving and it is right that davies will take his role, leaving salary for another player.

Holland I feel just needs to bide his time on dual contract and loan at the likes of blackpool. If he keeps impressing I wouldnt be at all suprised to see him in the first team in 2 years maybe when coley/fielden decide enough is enough.

Walker has that harrison hansen mould about him in that he gets through tons of work which goes un-noticed.

Farrell will be an exceptional player and him joel and lockers will feature in our back row for a long time to come, unless joel moves to centre which could be a possibility in the long run.

At the minute dual contract seems to be benefiting wigan more than any other club because we are usuing it correctly. Players who are on the verge of first team i.e walker/farrell/marsh are constantly there or there abouts in the team and when they go back to their 2nd club they are immense. It is a credit to our youth that we could actually bring in a player in each position on the park and they would not look out of place in super league.

How do you know this? or are you just assuming?

I don't know anything. I asked you the question.

money to be made for the gateshead game, they have 16 players missing, blackpool -48 handicap is 10/11, easy cash!

60-0 at half time, I hope you folks put a bit of money on, that was a steal!

132-0 final score



easiest 50 quid i've ever made

bloody hell

who were the try scorers?

is this a record?

www.rugbyleaguelive.co.uk/ down the bottom - Charnley scored 2 along with a bunch of other players. 17 First Teamers missing and the Under 18's playing told the story. The original h'cap line was a gift as was the 48 (which they'd covered by half time).

the website isnt accurate with the scorers, i can tell you as I was at the game that haggerty got 4 not two and there are other discrepancies but still its a blackpool record and will do us no harm with regards chasing promotion as far as points diff is concerned.

plus I have been told holland has been released by wigan and is now at blackpool till end of season, has anyone else heard anything?

It is a record for a league game (the previous record was Castleford 106-0 Rochdale in 2007). The world record for a rugby league game is Huddersfield 142-4 Blackpool Gladiators in 1994 in the Regal Trophy. That came on the day before Barrow beat Nottingham 138-0 also in the Regal Trophy.

It is also the second time this year that Gateshead have conceded 100. They were beaten 100-4 by Batley in the Northern Rail Cup (the record win in that competition).

I only saw one cock up on the scorers, Haggerty got 3 and Ballard 1, not 2 each - seemed the mistake was made when Ballard passed to Haggerty when Ballard had already gone over the line (17th minute try).

The other one you may have assumed that Haggerty scored in the second half saw him return the favour to Ballard.

The other "gimme" try saw Mayberry hand on to Paul Anderson to score, again, although already over the line.

Must admit I didn't enjoy seeing that sort of thing go on, but we never eased up - points difference could easily decide the title this season.
