I'm massively impressed with Dudson.



He's got the size, aggression and talent to be a top tier prop. Every single effort and measure has to be applied to making this so.



It's up to Wigan to make sure he delivers on 100% of his talent.



Crosby also has a massive future as he's a big lad but a very clever line runner.



If any of these kids had the 2nd name Burgess they'd be spoken about the 'next big thing'

Thought all props were great today Mossop is an absolute monster, just hope he can stay injury free for the rest of the season.

Good signs tonight from both lads both took it to huddersfield, if waney can give them more 1st team experience even better.

Honestly, Id never heard of these 2. But this is what I like about wigan fans. You have some youngsters who do well in the reserves, you dont bleat about them. You wait until they make their mark in the first team before the superlatives flow. If these 2 played for saints reserves and had a decent game, Saintsfan would have started a 17 page thread about how they were going to rule SL forever and StPete would have claimed he had known them for years and was their drinking buddy who he gets all his (made up) info from

Are you trying to get yourself banned from your own board?



If there is a difference in attitude I think it stems form the fact Wigan have produced a lot of our own players for a long time. It may be relatively new idea for Saints. Shaun Edwards was a Wigan junior for example. Things did go a little awry under Noble but for as long as I can remember we have always had a production line.

Top marks to both players tonight, the Huddersfield pack are no shrinking violets, although I think they were outplayed....and there's 3 injured/rested props on the sidelines.

Dudson and Crosby looked like they were regulars in the pack, and Wane certainly has the squad very well drilled. Watching the game, I winched every time Crabtree got the ball. Seemed to me that they really went for him, and that must have affected the other members of the Hudds pack to see him getting battered and mauled every time he got the ball.

Both did their jobs nice to see more depth in our squad

Great from both lads, Dudson is going to be a monster, can't wait to see him develop, special mention should be made of Crosby, making his S/L debut in a game like that, outstanding.

I thought Crosby did excellant tonight and Dudson did ok too when he was on. I was really worried about our bench pre match and they all did well when they came on.

Our Pack certainly outplayed theirs, and these 2 without doubt stood up and was counted.

How are your ulcers?
