Sunday 3rd January I believe.

Paul Woods Testemonial.

What's one of them?

a pointless game in which we play a team so young they could turn out for Rylands under 8's against a full strength Wigan side

A 'friendly' game whereby supporters pay to attend in order to give a loyal long serving player a much derserved financial windfall.

Good bloke all round is Woody. Shame that injuries prevented him from becoming the player he should have been.

Good Luck Paul.

Would have thought it would have been closer to the start of the season?

bare in mind last pre-season when we put out a young squad against them lowes was incharge..... cant see smith doin that, its not his pholosophy.

I thought that was a testimonial?

i'll be there,100% nailed on

If Smith sends out the youngsters - that's 75% of the first team these days !!

Should be going if i'm around, even if it the youngsters, 'nowt wrong with them.

Can we start a thread already as to whether the game is on or off due to the inevitable pitch inspection?

And a thread about how they ran out of pies and/or beer?

And a thread about how I paid £xx so soon after Christmas to watch a bunch of kids playing rugby at half-pace in the mud/frost/snow?

And can we call it the Paul Wood Semi Final match to guarantee that Wires win (albeit is this not the annual Mike Gregory memorial game)?

Is it going to be Sinfield's debut?

Where's the Latch gone? He said Sinfield hadn't previously been announced due to Leeds' season not being over. Big news in the Warrington Guardian along the lines of "World Class Player to Warrington for Pre-Season" tomorrow I reckon.

SHOULD BE GOOD!!

Will Moi Moi, Sinfield, Tickle and Graham be making their debuts?

Testimonial

We will probably put out a strong team and it will be a pointless friendly!

We also play saints on the 27th of december cannot wait for that one.

I really think every game played between Warrington and Wigan should have A Mike Greg cup up for grabs, add some extra spice to the game.

agreed

Finally, you speak sense

I believe that both clubs 1st Superleague game every season should be Warrington V Wigan ( obviously alternating home and away ).

It would guarentee a sell out at the HJ and a very healthy attendance at the DW. A nice way for both clubs to kick off the season.

This game should be for the Mike Gregory cup.

A meaningful match meaning the cup will have been hard won, not a game between 2 reserve teams.

Agree completely.

Maybe even dusting off the old locker cup and renaming it the Gregory Locker Cup. After all he played for that many times himself.

sounds like a plan

In your opinion



No but seriously I think the derbies for both of us against saints have enough spice to them with us and them being big rivals and the fact you havnt beat them for so long makes the games more exciting.

We need it so that every game between Wigan, Saints and Warrington sells out, that would be awesome.
