Wigan just throw them in.

Leeds a few years back had endless young kids coming through.

Surrounded by Ellis & Mini there's no time like the present to start building up Litten's exposure to SL. Lets face it Houghton might not get injured again for a long time based on his previous injury record.

Only few weeks ago horne talking about the physical work he needs to be upto level of SL . Couple of times in offseason to. I'd be suprised to see him tbh

But I agree Litten should be able to do a stint off the bench.

Erik the not red wrote:Jayden Brailey is not Jez Litten. It is ridiculous to assume all players all players develop at the same rate and time scale. Its the same as saying that because Bateman and Currie played at a high level as teenagers then all back row forwards should follow this path. As has been pointed out most Wigan youngsters actually (and very sensibly BTW) get their first proper run out in their early 20's.
