Hurrell made Thornley look like Dean Bell today.

Great result that doesn't do justice to Wigan's dominance in the game, even with a nil scoreline! Eckersley is an outstanding prospect. Size, pace, great footwork and an aggressive defender. More than ready for the first team and needs to get good game time next year. Not hyperbole to suggest he made Hurrell look ordinary. Comfortably the MOM.

Good performances all round with Makin, in particular, shining in the forwards. He doesn't look the biggest but runs it in as if he is. I hope his size isn't a barrier to progression as his attitude and work ethic seem top draw. Did 50 minutes straight and came back on for another stint at the back end of the match so clearly has an engine too.
