Your youngsters did well tonight. I think wigans powell should be up before rfl disciplinary for eye gouging there's no place for that in the game. Hope the fc player concerned is ok
was on my feet willing you guys on at the end tonight (have sat down since). The wife's best friends son was playing tonight so it was quite difficult not to get caught up in it You will be better off next season for these experiences. I hopea couple more get a chance against qHuddersfield.
I also hope that Chris Chester will give our youngsters a go..

Another massive 80 minute shift by Mini again I think .

logan looks a great prospect and will improve his defence as he develops. I don't see him as any particular weak link defensively he's just lacking physically which will come. Great turn of pace and a real eye for gaps and runs good lines. He does need to develop some composure with the ball though as he's made a number of breaks this season which have resulted in him losing possession/throwing the ball to the opposition. That will come with experience and I think we'll hopefully see him in the 1st team for years to come

I think Logan and Abdull will get real opportunities to cement their places next year, Turgut, Fash Downs etc need an arena to develop in. Logan should get a starting shirt IMO.
Superb effort from a team with 7 or so players 21 or under.
As a point of arithmetic pedantry though, I'm not sure that average age will have been 21. Either median or mean. Feka and Minichello are both 30+, and Paea can't be far off. Credit to them for supporting the youngsters, and pushing Wigan all the way.

And, to be like a dog with a bone about it, Wigan had several youngsters in their team - I suspect their average age was only slightly higher. I worked it out very roughly, and there wasn't much in it. It's still Wigan at the DW like, so impressive, nonetheless.

Very proud of the team and the youngsters. Me and my Dad went last night and both of us said we would be happy if they kept it under 50 so was a nice surprise. More fans there than I thought they would be too.

4 of our youngsters last night haven't played a dozen games between them
Absolutely, and I'm not forgetting that when we went there in similar circumstances with Guzdek, Robinson, Esslemont etc it was 60-0.
But average age was a Hull fans-chosen metric.
And I'm just pointing out that although 'team with average age 23 battles valiantly in defeat to team with average age 24' is a less compelling narrative, it is also more accurate.
