Anyone know if i can watch this game after live stream? I've purchased a ticket for it but I'm working Friday.

Im pretty sure you can as when i went to purchase it, i could see that you could replay other friendlies like Tommy Makinsons one. So i am sure you can

Has anyone any insight as to what's happened here? It seems strange that Leigh are saying that they are struggling to raise a team but will be ok 24 hours later. Have they got a darts match or something?

If they have had problems then top marks to them for at least getting the game on, albeit 24 hours later.

Looking at the Leigh forum they apparently have 8 injured players so I suppose it's conceivable that they are struggling for numbers. But as you say it seems strange that the situation is significantly improved by waiting 24 hrs. On top of that I wonder why the venue switch was made. The Warrington Guardian have simply quoted the club statement which is a little unusual as they normally provide some background to enhance the article.

I haven't seen anything about a venue change, not that it matters much at the moment. I understood that it was still at the HJ but now a 5:30PM kick-off on Friday.

Thanks Cokey. Sounds like a lot of effort has been made to keep the game on, in difficult circumstances, so well done to all who have made it happen.

Any team news for tonight yet?

Yep, its Wires vs Leigh Invitational XIII

I received this via recent email

Warrington Wolves Squad: Matty Ashton, Blake Austin, Rob Butler, Josh Charnley, Ben Currie, Daryl Clark, Jason Clark, Eribe Doro, Chris Hill, Jack Hughes, Greg Inglis, Toby King, Tom Lineham, Jake Mamo, Robbie Mulhern, Joe Philbin, Stefan Ratchford, Ellis Robson, Nathan Roebuck, Josh Thewlis, Danny Walker, Gareth Widdop, Connor Wrench

Didn't expect to see so many big names in there. And I thought Charnley and Inglis weren't ready yet.

Oh well, hope the likes of Inglis and co get a decent 40 mins in before we rest them.

I recall Price saying that Charnley would be ready for the start of the season, so he may well appear.

I've heard various rumours about GI not being ready but I don't class any of the sources as being reliable. All I can go off was what the man himself said in an interview and that was that it may take him a few weeks to get back to where he wanted to be.

He may get a run out or his name could just be on the team sheet in order to boost online viewing figures to support Chris Hill. We'll know in a couple of hours.

Inglis ain't playing..here we go again

So we’re now naming injuired players in squads who were never going to play to get more money out of fans. Bit naughty that.

Enjoyed that. Widdop was genuinely top drawer - looked really quick and inventive and linked really well with Currie & King down the left. Of the youngsters I though Wrench did really well and Doro looks a real handful. Nice to see some live rugby again.

Widdop was like a different player.

That's a disgraceful comment.

Widdop has been separated from his family, won’t realistically see them again until the end of the season (and then faces two weeks locked in a hotel room) and didn’t get the break he needed with a NRL club.

He has every excuse to fizzle out and drop his game while earning the big bucks and waiting for retirement. So the fact he hasn’t, is all smiles in training photos, and has just lit up what is normally a dour pre-season slogathon game, gives me great optimism. He’s really showed up and in these bizarre circumstances we’ve got to give him some credit for that. It’s not like he turned up last season and sulked because he didn’t like the weather (a la most established NRL stars).

I’m more optimistic about this season than I was a week ago. It seems we’re hungry, in shape, and tuned up attacking-wise.

Guess, some 'COCK' from little Leigh will try it in the league game in a couple of weeks, eh ?

having trouble taking the cotton wool off him

You know what, fair point, that was a throwaway comment that actually reads a lot worse than I intended when I wrote it.

My bad.

No worries mate.
