Mincella won't make it at Leeds or any other super league club, looked well out of his depth tonight. So did a few others. But some held up well.



Stone for them was outstanding and not a big player either.

Nice gesture by those young Aussies to leave a floral tribute in remembrance of Graham Murray

Interesting comments regarding Minchella & Handley given that they are in the England team for the test series.

Worryingly for England, i thought 3 of the 4 Wigan players from the England team were poor last saturday as well.

Not sure who is in the England squad from Wigan tbh but thought they were pretty unlucky and assuming there are stronger players elsewhere a combined team should go pretty close. These three games the Aussies have had together will definitely give them an advantage.

Handley was the major reason we lost at London - he needs to work a lot harder on his game if he is to make a career in RL

I thought we were much sharper when Robbie Ward was on the pitch and as others have said Mulhern looked the part, as did Lilly. And WTF do they feed their 'school boys' down under? They're fookin' massive.

I thought Ward looked much stronger than his size, but felt when he went off the team as a whole went better, as Lilley did a lot more. And the replacement Frankland got through quite a bit of work.

Minnsie put a massive hit on Stone which I enjoyed

We seemed a lot better after the biff.



When was the last time the academy played before last night?

Seven weeks ago was the last Academy game. For the lads at Bradford and London, might have been a week or so earlier?

Not to mention it'll have been the first time in around a year since the likes of Baldwinson, Tonks, Minns and Sutcliffe will have played a match with the majority of that squad.
