There is a huge opportunity for a young guy to grab a chance in the centres, I have both spots open at the moment.

If they were to pick the team today, I'd expect Jet and Gildart to be there purely on experience.
But the opportunity is definitely there for the younger blokes to impress in the trials - a very big chance for them!

Yeah, I'm pretty similar, if I was naming a team without trials it would be Gildart and Roberts but I don't think either a certain of being there after the trials.

Jimmy the jet was much maligned last year.Every game he tried to make things happen,but with little opportunity.He never received good early clean ball.Give the guy some room and play to your strengths.

That sounds like a post I would write.

And me as well. Certainly didn’t get decent ball all of last season. Give the Jet some runway to show his pace.

Defensively he was poor, but I believe he was having a go. Got in and worked a lot out of dummy half but I don't remember us once giving him the ball in his preferred position on the field. He needs ball with space between the attacking and defensive lines and preferably a stretched defensive line so he can burn his opposite number with pace. Did he get ball in that position once last year?

@garry A fair summation.He was going into dummy half to try and get himself involved,but definitely not his go.True,never received ball once with any semblance of space.

You would have to think that seeing Gildart and Hastings have some history at Wigan they will get the early shot together ...especially with the lack of combination between Brooks and Hastings ....but then again Madge has to take some risks / chances in 2022

Early ball doesn't always help ...his inside men and the decoys need to create holes for the outside men and get that defence 2nd guessing what they will see ....defences are so used to seeing that 2nd man ..2nd man play ...hit flat runners ...Brooks running with intensity and putting the inside / outside defenders on notice ....
