Surely either the Leigh game or the Warrington one will be U21's?

Oh right. That's alright then. Still I can't see a full strength team playing twice within the space of a few days. Are we not contracted to play Leigh do I remember reading somewhere? If so, I would guess that would be the game where we field the youngsters.

I think so. I have three years in my head. But I think your right. That Leigh game could be a reserve team sent out.

At the Wigan end the bars had pre poured loads of pints of beer but everyone was buying coffee and hot chocolate and they ran out



That was a shockingly cold day to watch rugby.

Cannot wait for the Saints and Wire games as I don't think MM will be playing a full team of young players. We might actually win at the GPW and the HJ for once.

Have to say Wakefield in January really excites me!



But I'm a professional so I shall be their to report for the masses who read my website. All ten of ya! I'm looking into doing updates during games next season.

Woooo, look who's got an iphone/blackberry

I haven't got either of them devices thank you.





A standard phone that texts is enough for me.

Bilko went and bought a blueberry.

I am very pleased we have a thorough pre-season programme in place. Last season we made an atrocious start to the season, which nearly cost Brian Noble his job, and we must look to really hit the ground running this year. Michael MaGuire will want to see as many players as possible in the warm up games right throughout the club & will want to try some new techniques, ideas and structures before the season starts. He will want to get a good idea of how good the players are and what works well and what doesn't before the season starts. You do not want to be finding out your squad half way through the season, like we did last season - Cameron Phelps being an excellent example. So the four pre-season games make sense.

I will be going to the Saints game and will try and get to the Leigh and Warrington game, but that depends on the squad put out. I don't fancy the Wakefield trip.

Yet again no HOME friendly all away and over priced you expect going off what saints are charging for what will be a u21 game.

Hopefully he will realise Leuluai is best at hooker... Mossop has potential in the front row... Farrell needs to step up now!.....Many players are out of shape (not too difficult).... it's not socket rience!

Can't wait for the saints away game, this will possibley be the biggest set of travelling fans for an away game!

Seems that the game at the LSV will be part of a fundraising event for the Hospice, so I'd like to think that your lot will send a strong side to help pull in a crowd for such a worthy cause.

Both teams to wear charity kits?

We don't have anywhere where we could actually sell any of our ones, so don't know about that

Would make sense if they do special shirts to sell them in the Hospice Charity Shops. I see Leigh has one on Bradshawgate whilst Wigan has one on Mesnes Street and theirs others in Hindley and Shevington.

Did you also go down the tremendous business route of 'new ground - no shop'?

You need to make that ETA site bigger to read. Did my eyes in. And firefox won't zoom it like the rest.

You blind? It's huge!!

Nope. Not on Win 7 64bit ultimate with firefox it aint.

Well maybe your idea should have been to make webpages bigger



Edit - I can't even get it to work on firefox

That's odd.

I run Windows 7, 64-bit with Firefox, and it's HUGE.

It's like it's been written for (or maybe by) someone with a hangover

mmm. I HDMI my signal to an ONKYO AV and then to my LCD. Must be somewhere along that line?

What makes you say that then?
