Wigan have tried to select a side (in their view) that can make it an evenly-matched game. They have included eight of their current SL squad of 25. They don't see any benefit in the game being one-sided - in either direction. We would have all loved to have seen Tomkins (the proper one) et al at LSV, and that would have boosted the gate, which was one of our main objectives - the other one being a good workout for our players.



On Sunday we'll find out whether we have been under-estimated or not.



One thing's for sure - there'll be more on than there were for the Salford game!

You mean like he did when they played widnes last year........ Lets face it, with only an U19s at wigan this season it might be the only game some of them get this year

I think for most people (both Leythers and Wiganer's) it's probably the price of admission for an U19's friendly that's the issue and to be fair to Wigan they have never billed it as anything other than an U19's friendly.

Basically all Leythers (should/probably) dislike W**an, so let's stuff the side that they can be bothered to send....again !

You might like to check out Wigan's website Harold. The fixture is 'billed' on their fixture list as a FIRST TEAM game.



In their discussions with Leigh, Under 19's were never mentioned. Now the RFL, in their wisdom, announced it as an Under 19 fixture!

so Pies told the RFL, before they told us.....typical

I think the Wigan team for Sunday is quite a good one and certainly not an under 19's side.



Like Alan has posted on the Wigan Board' it would have been an embarrassment had the Pies picked their best 17 and lost and that's obviously why the Wigan coach has picked the team he has. His job would have been on the line and he knew it.

Not seen it anywhere else, but where is the prices for these friendlies?

Can't say I'm too bothered about their team. I go to watch Leyth, not the opposition. Doubt we'd have learned much from getting stuffed by their first team either but at least the South Stand is shut so that will keep costs down.

That then must of been where I picked the 'U19 billing' up from Alan - Apologies.
