Chris Dean and his dad were Wigan season ticket holders. When Chris went to Saints his dad supported his son and Saints, just as he now does at Widnes.

What about Gary Connolly?
And Jamie Foster.

Dave never supported Saints, only Chris!!! Come on Rogues get your facts right.

Percival was player I mentioned a couple of years back. However he is still young and a little weak defensively. He missed four tackles v Wigan, but does look as though he has it in him to be a really good centre.

Another centre to keep a look out for is Oliver Gildhart at Wigan, he is still first year (U17) but has been very impressive in Wigans u19 this season.

Gildart has impressed when I've seen him this season.

Very similar to Percival, relatively small but very elusive with a turn of pace.

He can be anything.
Three ties against Saints on Sunday, really outplayed Charnock, his pace if frightening. I have a feeling Wigan may give him a run at fullback.
If you remember last year in the "fastest man" springt comp at Headingley he finished fourth at the age of 17.

If you watch the juniors then he and George Williams are probably the best pair of halfbacks I have seen come through together, but I also think they may end up as #1 and #9 as that seems to be the way in the modern game.

I agree with this and as expected Hampshire played at 1 for Wigan U19's this weekend, Williams I guess would have moved to 9 other than them (second row and him) getting a couple of injuries during the game.
