Its now on the official website they will be bringing a strong squad:

[iAt a meeting yesterday between the respective coaching staff at Leigh and neighbours Wigan Warriors, it was confirmed that the Warriors will be bringing a strong side when the ancient local rivals meet at the Leigh Sports Village Stadium on Friday 27th January (7.30pm kick off). Shaun Wane’s squad will consist of twenty members of their first team squad along with a small number of their successful under 20’s side,[/i

Hopefully a good crowd then.

I can't find that anywhere.

Found it.

Go on their site, they have something like a 35 man squad and all the players are good! Matt says their under 20s are the best about too. Should be a good night !!

Well i am looking forward to it Ste, it will be my first game this season.

Well they won the U20's comp last season so it wasn't much of a guess to be fair mate



I'm hoping we'll get the best of both worlds to be honest - a competitive game where we've a decent chance of victory and a few first team squad players to boost the crowd a bit.

Just read on our site that Wigan are sending a strong squad with 20 first team and a small number of 20s

I think it is great that Wigan are planning sending a strong squad for their game with us





Well done to our Coaches and Staff , for rebuilding our relationship with Wigan , i know Chris Rads , he is a very nice guy , very modest , and will help Leigh in future with the D-Rs also ,there is nothing wrong with friendly banter , but lets stop this Anti-Wigan thing .

Don't think you will ever stop that Charlie but I do think it should be toned down a bit.

As the saying goes>if you don't like it>don't read it.

You have to read it to determine if you like it or not

Put ya glasses on then.

I've never heard that saying before John. You've just made that up.

I had my mind on other things at the time of reading Hattys post,i know what she meant now haha.

Cant make the game but I hope it's a good one and we put up a good showing

Don't forget that it will be live on LeighLife radio if you can't get to the game.

Had this email through today.....

Mix of U20's and some fringe/new players

Thats a little different to the statement put out on the Leigh Official site

Stop trying to poach our North Standers Ian.

Not really as the fringe players are all members of the first team squad, and in fairness I'm sure several of the U20's last time around are in the first team these days.

In all honesty, a mix of 20s and 1st team players would be a better hit out for the team, more competitive. Most of Wigan's u20s players are championship standard and above.
