Sorry - I didnt see the video, I just saw the news item on the 18 that said

"Paul Deacon had a bruised wrist but he should be fine for Warrington. Karl Pryce should also be OK for that game. I will take a few players out of this game and they will figure next week at Leigh and there will probably be a few more of the younger guys. At Warrington I will play a lot more of the senior ones."


I assumed that he meant a few of the more established players would be playing us, not taking the young ones out of last Sundays team list to play with the other youngsters



I dont mind who we play but as far as I can remember back to last years friendly you sent the full first team and I can understand him playing the majority of first teamers agaist Warrington, but I had hoped that one or 2 might of figured.

==============================================================
Thats bad news for u then if your payin for the pies @ £2-80p each

hmmm that may prove to be regretable possibly.

Well to be honest I've been off work sick for the last 2 1/2 weeks and wasn't really feeling up to going anyway. Seeing the team made my mind up. Of course I hope we stuff 'em. I'll hopefully feel up to the Oldham game the week after.

We should play some our stars of the future Pownall Nicholson and Hopkins i'm sure they would relish it and put themselves in with a shout of a place against Owdum next wk.

I hope your better soon mate & hopefully we'll see you next sunday then

Seeing as Wigan are treating the fixture with some contempt I'll give it a miss. To be honest I think the team they're putting out is a bit of an insult.

I'm sure these guys they're sending "will" be stars of the future but if we're going to play this fixture regularly then the least we want out of it is to make some money. I can't see Wigan bringing many for this and it'll put plenty of casual Leythers off as well.

I'll be surprised if the attendance if any bigger than the Warrington game to be honest. Sure I hope we win but money is tight for a lot of people and £14 to see our first team and Wigan's academy side is a bit much.

My cash will be going towards the Oldham game I reckon.

thats the beauty of season tickets you save soooo much money. I got a seated one for £140 & thats for all the home league games, 2 NRC games & 1 challenge cup game bargin

Well theres a surprise, best critic worse bl00dy fan

always money money money with the kevster then comes on slagging all the team and coaches off and hasn't bl00dy been, priceless - ooh sorry thats money too





Wonder what excuse for not getting to the Oldham game will be, couldnt afford shoelaces? socks worn out? purse clasp stuck?

I get the feeling you know me from your smiley faces and laughing lol. I don't "slag" off I give an opinion of the situation. You don't have to like it or love it it's just an opinion.

I don't need an excuse to go or not thats just a personal decision... it just so happens that as much as I love the club it's not the only thing going on in my life and I'll pick and choose the games as I see fit.

With repect to the Wi@@n players selected, their team isn't in the 'spirit' of how the fixture was orginally planned. I'm sure their players will be comitted and talented however, its sure to impact on attendance.
I'll be there also.

Its a disgrace that the baker is only sendin the whist pies when he should have sent at least a dozen meat n prayter to do battle with fully fledged lobby, the whist pies will go down all too quickly against the hungry Centurion Lobby

I hope the Wire put out there kids next week against the pie munchers with instructions to BIFF, BIFF BIFF & MORE BIFF & THEN SOME DOUBLE BIFF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't see that happening mate isn't it Paul Wood's testimonial or summat?

Would you rather Wigan send a full team and run 60 points up like Wire did. What good would that do Leigh,(or Wigan for that matter)

I`ll be there........ a pity that Wigan aint sending about 4/5 first teamers - but thats life.

it would be nice to see at least a couple of the so called superstars though wouldnt it?

wigan taking the urine a bit doncha think?

If you want piccies of the 'stars' Wayne, I'm sure if you train your camera on the crowd you might spot one or two

not really, it was more or less the starting 13 as I posted on the Leigh v Wigan reserves thread. I did however think that the likes of Prescott, O'Carroll and Mossop would have been included on the subs bench.

well your bound to defend your club i suppose but i think its a bit of an insult to the centurions to be honest.

I'm with you mate the fixture was locked in for at least 3 years so the Warrington game next week is no excuse for them to bring the entire academy side because they already knew they'd be playing us this weekend.

So much for the new relationship between the two clubs that the Wigan chairman was bleeting on about last season.

I will be there afterall it's the pies we are playing no matter what team they play, plus i want to go and support the Leythers no matter who we play, even booked the night off work for the game.

Don't think Ian's named the team yet Keith.

Its a fair point and although I said I wont go I am still torn lol

Well im definatley still going i pay £14 a time to watch Leigh Centurions play couldn't care less who they are playing against.

And £14 to some people might seem steep but they've got to make money somewhere to get in better players. It always strikes me how much of a catch 22 situation Leigh fans put them selves in.

I'm not goin its Wigan reserves.
I'm not goin its too expensive.
I'm not goin they're bottom of league.
I'm not goin they've got crap players, id go if they had better ones.

Blah Blah Blah.
