Ive just looked at the Referee appointments for our games v.Halifax (Phil Bentham) and v. Wigan (B.Thaler) The match on the 27th January is listed as against Wigan U20's. Does anyone know whether this is correct. Originally it was billed as against a strong Wigan team

half a dozen first teamers would do for me

well that's knocked a couple of thousand off the gate then.

Its described as Reserves on their web site, I expect 8-10 squad numbers and the rest from the 20's - a team that on paper should beat ours (it would cost more) and provide a great game. Thaler would not be reffing an under 20's match.

I'd imagine our club will make a statement about this soon.

TBH its up to wigan to name what kind of squad they're going to bring not Leigh.

Wigan will tell Leigh what sort of squad to expect, we are on good terms with them now basil has gone. Wigan play a few days before so they was never gonna send a squad full of first teamers . They'll play the lads we would be getting on DC to see if they are good enough to get in our squad

Much as I 'predicted' last week [url=http://viewtopic.php?f=22&t=516089Here[/url!!

Don't expect many 'squad numbers' below 25!!!

Another potential 4-5k crowd that will now be less than half that figure!!

I will bet you its a bigger gate than the fax one.

Why?,what purpose will it serve?.They 've already put on there own website that they'll be sending there reserves.

Should read Thaler should not be reffing. Full stop.

It has been advertised for a while that it's their 20's! Wouldn't really expect any 1st teamers. They play barrow this week and think there will even be a couple of the 18's in there! Chance to look who'll be good enough for a dual contract anyway!

Will this W1gan reserves side be wearing a different shirt or something? For me its players representing that club from across the border.
Should be a much evenly contested game, and a better spectacle.

They do, but it's Salford they play just before us - if they've seen the friendly last week they could do worse than decide to shift a couple of first teamers across to the the squad for the Leigh game......

Your right we'll give um a better run out

apparently tomkins isn't playing against HKR....perhaps they're saving him for us

Hopefully not!! Has a good record at our gaff

give over pal,i'tll put a couple of hundred on the gate straight away

John , ive asked them specially for you to save their best players for our game .

Yea but I've told my Warrington friends were gonna bash them

tomkins can play but he'll be eating mud all day.

Theres only one special player at that club charlie and he spent all last season at the LSV.

Ridy will sort him

Whos that ?

Stay off the acorns charlie ther obviously not good for the memory,it only been mentioned on here a hundred times.

I'll say it again but I think there will be a few first team players coming after they view Freds video of last weeks game. I would love for Sam to come and play against us even if he ran rings round us. Who knows he may have requested to play in the game. JC you are right if he comes so will the fans.
