What a great night tonight at this event even the rain didn’t put a damper on it.

The players were great with everyone enjoying having autographs & photos took.

The new boys took it all in their stride too & the club has to be commended for holding this for fans. Over 1500 fans attended.

Lee Briers is something else! What a nice bloke & he is really enjoying it at Wigan in fact as we were leaving I asked him if he was enjoying it so far he replied “I’m loving it, I’m loving being here, tonight was just great”. And he was very sincere in his comments.

Thanks for your feedback Josie. As for Lee, I have always found him very approachable, a proper Rugby League man.
