I wonder if it was a French referee.

Not surprised they got beat having so many Wigan players in the team. How the likes of Jack Higginson got picked i will never no. Somethings got to be done about the selection process.

I presume from that comment you were at the game. Would you please post your match report. I've checked the League Express and League Weekly this morning along with the England RL site and can't find any report at all.


Or is it just another anti Wigan dummy spit?

btw I think Higginson is a good young prospect who knew where his passport was. How many times have you seen him play?

I'll be honest, when we played them earlier in the season I thought he was comfortably Wigan's best player. It was the first time I'd seen him play.

I'm not sure how Ganson could possibly start ahead of Smith, and for Danny Richardson and Phil Atherton not have even made the squad is a joke.

To be fair, Lilley and Tyson-Wilson who played in the halves are two of the best prospects at that age.

Not sure about Lilley. I've read a lot about Tyson-Wilson but on my admitted limited viewing both for Hull and England he hasn't lived up to the hype, like all young players time will tell.

As the coach is from Yorkshire I find it hard to believe that there is any Wigan bias.

In previous years I think that this has been a two game series, does anyone know if there is to be a game over here, or am I getting mixed up with the U16's?

Brief match report: http://www.rlef.eu.com/other/report?RLE00000642 I wonder if Super League clubs will look at any of the French players, 7 of whom (including man-of-the-match Goudemand) are not contracted to Catalans.

I assume that the picture above that match report is the French team. If the lad fourth from the right behind the ball is 18 then I'm 24.

That looks like a translation of the French RL report only with a better translation than Google.
