Not a chance in hell they will ban Smith. If it was a regular round, maybe but even the RFL aren't that stupid as to ruin their Golden Match. I wish I had your confidence. I genuinely think this could go either way in Smith's case. From what I can recall Smith has no history of disciplinary issues ...

Harry Smith seemed full of confidence and class and, as well as his kicking game, produced some excellent passes at the defensive line to put players into gaps once the game opened up.

Great news. I'm sure the club will make this into a massive occasion with lots of events in the build up to the game. An exciting game could really set the scene for the whole season and attract a whole new audience. Bring it on! If that's the case it's a pity we have so few home games in the weeks ...

As this is Ian Lenegan's last full day as Chairman and Owner of Wigan Warriors, I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for bringing success, stability and a viable and an exciting future to the club and best wishes for a long and happy retirement.

Magic has never appealed to me because I don't have the patience or stamina or interest to watch more than 1 match in a day. I went to nearly every Premiership final at Old Trafford and, when they added the 2nd Division final, I'd arrive during the 2nd half. As it's so near this year, I may go to w...

I'm quoting from the press release too and appreciate that Josie didn't write the quoted bit!!

“Everyone knows what a special venue Elland Road is and we’re all looking forward to another great spectacle.” Don't like to be negative but Elland Road is a pretty decrepit stadium in need of some significant upgrade and is in an area with not too much going on in the immediate vicinity.
