I think Alan is after my clipboard this season...

Hope they do as lets be honest they have to be good players if Wigan keep them under contract when they were instrumental in the scrapping of Non Relegation club reserve sides.

Re us scrapping our friendlies against Wigan I hope not personally because I am sure they will bring a reasonable following on Sunday.

To be honest I'm not bothered if Wigan played 13 employees from Uncle Joes mint ball works or 13 slaves from the gravy mines a Wigginer is a Wigginer
and to watch Leigh v Wiggin should be enough for any true Leyther to watch no matter who plays in the cherry n white of Wiggin
BRING IT ON

I'm really looking forward to seeing our new signings in action.

The Pies didn't have that much choice re the team selection - many of their players were in the international series and are very early in their preseason.

Also if they had chosen their first 17 I don't think we would learn much from a tonking... As much as we think otherwise it would be difficult for our guys to keep a FT side packed with internationals under 60.

My Wigan friends have also given good reports about Burgess , is he a Winger ?I have seen George Williams in the past and also agree he should be a future star of the Game , hopefully PR can identify the players he would like to come to Leigh on loan next season , so the friendly will be of use .

Yes, Burgess is a winger and along with Hampshire (stand off) possess great pace. Hampshire is also a very good goalkicker, both have just turned 18.
