well done guys and hope they tear it up

I see Bateman is in there as well .

who is this gavin bennion first time i have heard him mentioned

HEAR HEAR

really 4 players because bateman will be ours soon!

He is a very good player who has moved up into the Under 20s over the past couple of months and is getting better each week. Thoroughly deserved call up

Only four, never mind.


Seriously congratulations to all of the players from all of the teams who have been selected, let's hope they do themselves, their families, their country and their clubs proud over there.

I was surprised that Mick Learmonth didn't get in the squad ?

I see wigan have 6 and Leeds 5 in the squad, so we have some way to go yet. However considering the woeful lack of youth talent we had several years ago, we are getting there.

I suspect the RLFC will squeeze the number of foreign imports as time goes by, so it is even more important that we continue to develop our youth set up.

So was I. He was excellent last year in the U16's game v France. I haven't seen him this year as Wigan don't play Wire at U18's level, even though we play Wales and Sheffield.

what position does he play

You seem to have a good crop of youngsters coming through Rogues, but surely too many to squeeze into the 1st team ? We could take that Ryan Hampshire lad on if you want ? He would be a fine companion for Ben Currie



I suspect Learmonth is just going through a quiet phase. All these young lads seem to develop in stages. I am looking forward to seeing him flatten a couple of the Leeds forwards in 3-4 yrs time.

Prop forward.
