Thanks for the udate.
Don't think we can really read anything in the fact that none of the 19 played. Imagine if Tom/Tim/Tomkins pulled up in the warm up and Mike Mc had played 50 mins this afternoon.

Wigan dominated the game through out and played some good Rugby League.
Mathers didn't start well at fullback and was playing pretty badly at first. However, eventually he was switched to stand off where he suprisingly played well, setting up a couple of tries off his good passing and even an attacking kick. As the game progressed his confidence grew and it reflected onto his second half performance which was generally pretty good. More performances like that in the reserves will do him a world of good.
Karl Pryce had a very strong and consistant overall game. His defence was suprisingly aggresive and he was quick to close down the Bradford widemen, often with pretty big hits. In attack he seemed pretty dangerous particulary when Stu Howarth kicked low and flat across field.
Darryl Goulding had a very postive first half making plenty of yards particulary from the play the ball. His defence was also strong and again, suprisingly aggresive. It seems to me that Goulding has alot more confidence and is much more talkative at reserve level, I think he just needs to take that into the first team.
Man of the match for me was Paul Prescott. He was absolutely outstanding and seems very fit, big and strong. He making a shed load of yards through out the game and combined with his halfbacks very well. He was very dangerous near the tryline too and was always looking to get over the line.

Cheers for that. Seems like all the first teamers are responding in a positive way which is obviously good for the club in terms of competetion for places.

Yeah, to be fair the ''first teamers'' stood out through out the game and lead by example.
Mathers does get some flack, but people can't question his attitude and effort.
