Wigan won 46 -10
Karl Pryce played stand off, scored two and made two, but still is nowhere near fit.

Ste Tyrer played for Celtic and didn't look interested.

That lad has gone forever me thinks

Another Pryce starting his career in the wings/centres who best at SO maybe??



Doubt it.

If he can't get in the team at Celtic, doubt he has a chance at Saints.

Pryce is worth hanging on to for me - I believe he's potentially an awesome player, Wiganers just need to keep their patience.

Did Tim Smith play for the reserves?

No.

I believe he was training on his own, honing his water-carrying techniques.

I know where you are coming from.

I wish he would try and dictate things in the first team like he does in the reserves rather than go into hiding.

What did you guys make of our lads today... regarding Tyrer, many down here have called for his name in the first team and Dixon hasnt acted, i cant blame the lad mind.

Anyone got a team sheet?

Cheers.

Seeing as Vievers kicked 7 from 8 and we seem to miss a kicker when Pat is out, is Josh ready for the odd game in the first team when needed?

Regarding Pryce, he was getting slated after last week and rightfully so, but ffs the lad hasn't played consistently for 2 1/2 years and is asked to be a star in SL straight away. Not going to happen. He needs to go on loan for regular first team action in the Championship to gain full fitness imo.

Tyrer didn't seem interested at all, your number 7 Lloyd White was probably Celtic's best player.

Is Josh Viever's the son of Phil?

Correct.

Wigan have a Welshman Adam Davies playing in their u/18 but i haven't seen his name lately, any chance this is the same person ?

For this season imo he would be far better off playing in our reserves and getting a few first team games.

Like you said 2 1/2 years out he just needs simple game time and confidence building. I honestly can’t see him with his current level of fitness doing anything at SL level for the moment and It could seriously hinder his development if goes out on loan and fails for this reason.

He defo needs to go out on loan next season tho. Either SL or hopefully we will have our NRL links in place that IL talks about. A guy with Karl’s size and talent would defo benefit from some time down there

Davies was released recently by Wigan IIRC so it could have been. You know Rogues?

Is Mark Flanagan looking anywhere near 1st team level? He's been with us a little while now and I don't think he's had a sniff of 1st team yet?

Know he had a good stint at Fax last year, just wondering if he's still classed as 'one for the future'?

It was the same Adam Davies that was released by Wigan who played for Celtic reserves on Saturday.

I knew it would be a matter of time!
