No way should Wigan be hosting one of these games. If 25k is the best we can hope for it almost seems not worth bothering. We got 38,000 at Man city in 2004 and that was when we played Australia every year. Only benefit I can see is a sell out is preferable to say a half empty big stadium. Elland ro...

Why does it make club call a joke? Finishing top has given saints a real advantage, if they just played the lowest place team they could end up with a tougher game.

Not impressed by wire at all, if we turn up and play how we can they'll struggle.

<r><QUOTE author="curryman"><s>[quote="curryman"]</s> <br/> I guess it just highlights once again what a rubbish system is being used for the play offs. You are better off 5th than 3rd.<br/> <br/> The old system 1st v 8th, 2nd v 7th and so on was much better. It wasn't broken and did not need fixing...

<t>So you, having played since school, understand them but Darrell Goulding, professional player, doesn't. I'd like to see these mistakes Goulding's made highlighted as I think, when fit anyway, he's a good defensive player and cuts off overlaps well. Got any links to videos of his errors? <br/> <br...

As Kaii and cpwigan state Matty Smith

It wouldn't surprise me if he is out of shape given the way the aussie press were saying he'd retired when he signed for us. Hopefully he'll be up to speed for the world club challenge.

<t>I think we can. We're going to have had a full preseason, played 4 friendlies, a league game against Huddersfield and a game in the southern hemisphere against the Warriors. This is their first week of preseason and from what I can find they only have one trial game scheduled before the WCC. We s...
