Isn't the st helens cup being played on Tuesday at Knowsley road?

Your right. I was about to mention that. But you beat me too it.

Thus meaning the team to win the final game at Knowsley Road ISNT Wigan.

Wigan had players with more 'big time' experience than Saints had. If we had been able to field the players who had to play in the first team game on Friday then It would have probably been a different outcome. Who knows. Over the season Saints were the better side - the league table shows that.

If Wigan had been able to play Farrell and Tuson the score would have been even bigger.I said at the beginning of the season that if Wigan had kept their U20's "in house" that they would have walked the competition.

Wigan played Saints three times and beat them in all three.
Do you think Warrington were the best of the three, after all they finished top.

It'l be interesting next season as the likes of Vievers, Howarth, Ainscough and Walker move on too see what happens. There will be a lot more of the Wigan players going out on loan as it's obvious that Wigan are far too good at that level for anyone else.

With a bit more composure Saints could have won.

Johnson was the pick of the Saints team for me.

Sadly worse news being that one of the academy lads has been up to no good and it could cost him his RL career and time at Saints Watch this space but for libel reasons I'm not commenting as of yet.

the wiganers should be really happy the way that Phellps lad is progressing, another couple of years and he'll be a right prospect. As for Vivers when is he going to get a run out in the first team.

Was a very competitive second half pity the ref made a couple of obscure decisions. Saints had 2 try's disallowed which would have brought the scores level.

still if it makes them happy I'd rather have my juniors getting 1st team experience.

Veivers has signed for Wakefield next year and as for your comment about Phelps i think you will find you played as many first team players as Wigan did including your good young prospect Maurie Fa'asavalu.

It was a good game first half all Wigan but a good comeback by Saints in the second half.
