Bevan French confirmed to be starting at full back against Leeds, Hardaker will be at centre with Hastings and Tommy in the halves

I do hope none of first 17 play anywhere near 80 mins.

I'm not sure about Navarrette but Escare is recovering from a shoulder injury as is Oliver Gildart,maybe the rumour from not so long ago about a prop going to Catalans is maybe Navarrette,it was rumoured to be flower but he's been picked for the Leeds game,here's hoping it's Navarrette as he is just too inconsistent for my liking

As a squad of 23 players have been listed, I think you will find that like friendlies, the better players will start the game and then be substituted by the fringe players as the game progresses.

I'm really looking forward to Sunday's game,it seems like a lifetime since our last game and that was nowt to write home about I'm just hoping lam can get it right

Can you pay on the gate for Sunday.

If all Wigan seats of only around 4,000 in just the West Stand have not been sold prior for a Testimonial game for a loyal player like Liam Farrell, it is a disgrace for a club which has around 10,000 season ticket holders.

When i rang up for a ticket for Sunday i wanted my seat in the East stand but the woman in the ticket office said that the club weren't expecting a big crowd so they were only opening the west stand its very disappointing for me because he's done a decade of service,he always plays above his size just like Mick Cassidy back in the day,like i say very disappointing from the Wigan fans

The fact that the club decided to only use the West Stand for the game only shows the lack of promoting games, especially a Testimonial game for a loyal player like Liam Farrell.

Even yesterday, Wigan TV coverage of all three pre season friendlies was only announced in the morning of the game with London Skolars and even the presentation of that game was poor with even the commentator not knowing about the game being play in four quarters and than spending more time having a chat with John Winter and not commentating on the game or keeping viewers up to date with the identities of the players, especially the new younger players. Not even team sheets posted on the screen prior to the start of the game.

And it is so difficult, in this day and age, to bombard fans with e-mails or put it on social media.

Strong squad from Leeds?

Is it reserved seating for this game in the West stand?

Completely agree (for a change). This game should warrant a full house for me but the club has done bare minimum to promote it. Fans like you or I or any other poster on here as known about this for a few months but the casual fan wouldn’t necessarily be aware and may have gone if they knew.

I wouldn’t go as far to say it’s shambolic from the club but I’d definitely be inclined to say it’s lazy.

Ideally they would have done graphics but sometimes the facilities make it difficult. No electricity in the middle of a field like that, a small bit of self erected scaffolding for space that had to accommodate camera, camera operator and commentary equipment plus three people. It's quite an achievement to get it live in all honesty.

Testimonial events are not run by clubs, they are run by testimonial committees in the interests of the individual player. I think for reasons of tax their are limitations on what can be done.

Yes it is .

I agree, more lazy than shambolic, but improvements do need to be made. For example, we are now more or less into the official season, but the club website is still showing the last years player profiles for the Under 19 (now Under 18's), Under 16's and Womens teams.

You would think that with all the administration staff employed by the club, the website could be kept more up to date, especially, when some shown on the website, both in administration and the playing side have left the club and newcomers are not shown.

For a club like Wigan, its just not good enough!

Is it being shown on Wigan TV? Cant be d reading all the thread to find out

No ben flower today according to Lammys interview on Wigan TV. Also Goerge Burgess very doubtful. Maybe that's why Romain was withdrawn from Fridays game and dint play at London. Not sure whats wrong with Flower

Ill be d to reply yes it is

Thank you sir

No problem your honour !

No flower or Burgess today

Hopefully nothing too serious and just resting them up ahead of the Wire game. I guess one or two guys not in the squad like Navarette, Havard or Kilner will step up now and that may be no bad thing. You’d think Flower and Burgess are guaranteed places in our starting 17, so we should have 5 or 6 guys fighting for a couple of spots today.

Clubb went off after just 2 minutes and straight down the tunnel - So business as usual.

No idea what's wrong this time.
