I think that is just the start for young Welsby. Top level player for years to come.

Aye. There's a few fans (not just Wigan) stating they should have kicked for touch and set up a DG but can you imagine the reaction if they'd failed with the attempt or knocked on early in the tackle count? If Zak fancied it then you'd have to let him have a dig. He's no Pat Richards though!

There are only 3 kickers in the SL era i would have 100 percent fancied from there under that pressure one being Richards the others being Deacon and Sinfield.

the pressure was brought down a fair notch with no fans but i never fancied Zak from there at all.

I'd have backed Harris and maybe Farrell to make that kick also.

Wigan haven't had a decent kicker since Richards retired

I never fancied Zak to nail that pressure kick at all as he could never be classed as being a prolific goal kicker

If I was putting my money on someone nailing that kick it would have been either Sir Kev or Pat Richards from the SL era players

Jamie Foster would have nailed it!

Personally I was hoping they would both lose, but I suppose a "well done Saints" is in order

Ive watched Welsby for a few years now in academy and he is a superb prospect. Class player. Saints have a few good ones but Welsby is top boy.
