2020 and a 20th Challenge Cup win? Seems nailed on to me.

Absolutely gutted to be missing this game! I've had an ultrasound scan re-arranged from Tuesday to Thursday at 6pm. No chance i'll get to Wigan if there are delays at the hospital. Should be a good game, hopefully a large crowd for the first game of the season. Both teams with new players, Wigans recruitment has been good. Unsure on ours, dont know if its mind games about Widdop but he could be fit. Suppose we'll find out on Tuesday. I'd be surprised if Latu plays for us.

No I agree with him. He talks sense.

Vital we win this one for the attendance situation if nothing else.
Cas away next week is always a horrible fixture for us and if we go into the Toronto game, Thursday again, on the back of two defeats the crowd that night doesn't bear thinking about.

Every block in the stadium on green availability for Thursday on the ticketing website, other than the small one above the tunnel.

Sad times and a damning indictment on the current marketing team.

Really should be looking at 20k for Wire and we'll be lucky to get half that

thursday games dont help at all, if it was a friday there would be 20k on

Says in Lam's review Flower out still recovering.

Props for me then will be Burgess, Clubb, Bullock, Partington

I wondered what had happened to Emu.

Just looking back at expected/ suggested starting 17 and I think that everyone assumes that TL will complete the 80 minutes. How many times did he do that last season?

I think the 2 starting props will be Burgess and Clubb with Bryne and Bullock on the bench. SOL can't do 80 so Smithies will probably get a subs spot leaving the 4th subs spot between Partington and Smith.

Interesting call to come from Lam. I hope that TL has been on 4 Weetabix every morning since pre season started

I suspect the latter

Dear lord that’s lame. Wire are such a gimmick club these days

It says a joint decision, so how is it a marketing stunt or gimmick by Warrington?

More like a way of both clubs to get some interest in the game by the media!

Looks like a joint decision to me, latest Facebook clip from Wigan showing past wire games is full of punch ups.

The best being the one between Andy Goodway and Paul Cullen at Wilderspool!

From the field where they were sent off and all the way down the tunnel.

The one between Greg Downing and Kevin Tamati as well.

In which case it is even worse. First game of the season and there is a joint decision to ban a press conference on the back of non-existant bad blood?

Deary me. Exepcted from that clown Fitzpatrick at Wire but surprised Wigan saw fit to get involved in such WWE-lite nonsense.

Still got a chairman who cries about the referee when his team is fairly battered? Still got a statue of a proven drug cheat outside your ground?

Is it true that all Wire home games kick off at precisely 19:55 this season?

Struggling with what either of those have to do with a press conference but go for your life mate if you’ve got no opinion on it.

A marketing stunt. And a tinpot embarrassing one at that.

Agreed. I can’t stand Thursday games. Friday, Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons are when the games should be.

I was there. WW3
