| Logan has impressed me tonight after not seeing much of him before but Crosby and Mellor are going to be in our first team regularly sooner rather than later.

| Watching the Wigan lads has put a smile on my face. Agree with the comments about Tomkins and Mellor.
Even though Barrow have been quite poor I enjoyed the game toneet.

| I think Mellor would have been man of the match if it hadn't been for that 16 year old making his debut. There are so many good things about his game. His kicking game seems very good, both long distance and kicking close to the line. The cross field kick towards Penny for Tyrer's try was well weighted and would have been perfect for Pat Richards. He looks dangerous when he gets the ball and the final try showed he has a good step, he threw a clever dummy and has the awareness to know when to pass. Also those quick flat passes looked useful; imagine Hoffman running onto one of those. He even threw one forward just to prove he knows what to do when he gets into Super League. His defence looked strong too which is important.
All in all the Wigan lads were impressive. Logan is a good hard worker and whilst his distribution can be wayward sometimes he does have very good vision which is important for a hooker. Crosby was power in attack and defence. Ben Davies was very poor in the first half but improved in the second.

Also thought Jack Hughes did a lot of good defensive work as well and didn't seem out of place. On Joe Mellor, very impressed with his kicking. It looks so effortless but so effective.

| Crosby and Mellor were the two stand out's for me. Although Dom didn't get much time on the ball, the runs he did have were very good. Twisting and spinning in the tackle, and always pumping those legs.
Joe looks so dangerous with ball in hand, yet maybe ships it on a little to much rather than taking the line on. That may be down to him suffering that serious injury and therefore he wishes to take it easy and not overstretch himself. Still brilliant signs from him, and all the players on DR to be fair. They just need to continue playing at that higher level, as opposed to reserve rugby.
Second half I though Davies was very good. I like the fact that he's aggressive both with and with out the ball.

It isn't. I have played against Joe and have seen him in action many many times, his game is similar to Tomkins but not the same. In Mellor you have a very very exciting prospect on your hands, i'd hazard a guess that minus his injury last year he could be a regular in your team this year. Very good player.

| Let's not write Davies off just yet.
He's still got a long way to go but he's still a baby as far as props go.
A decent set of props including back up ones are worth their weight in gold.
Let's not cast him aside just yet although he does need SL experience.

Needs to lay off the pies and pints by the look of him, looks in poor condition but the talent is there and the second half he went pretty well.

He looks the same breed, very exciting to say the least! I actually hope he gets a run out for Wigan this year. He could be a very good replacement for Deacon (Should he retire)

It's nothing that a harsh pre season won't fi
As you say he's got the talent 2 make it.

He would easily fill the boots of deacon for you lot, and could possibly send finch packing earlier than expected.
