I agree. I bet if you ask Leeds Rhinos management and the majority of their supporters (the sensible ones anyway) if they miss those big games against Bradford, what do you think they would say? 20k+ at Headingley, 20k+ at Odsal. If you watch back that 'Renouf to Radlinski' on YouTube, in the background you will see that Bradford brought 4.5k to Wigan in that North Stand. That's a massive loss in revenue compared to what Wakefield, Cas or Huddersfield bring these days. I don't think the game has fully recovered from their relegation, which is sad.


Yep, i've seen that quite recently and was thinking exactly the same

its a pity now, that we only get decent away followings v Saints / Wire, and we can maybe add Leigh in this year. The club has to be commended this year, on thinking that they use the North for home fans, bar the ones mentioned. If we can build another 1000-1500 regular fans in the Community stand, that has to be good longer term for the club

Hull / Hull KR both used to bring decent followings over, but as we all know, Friday night across the M62 for an away fixture isnt the friendliest commute, but do we swap to a Saturday / Sunday just so we can get an extra 500 or so away fans, and possibly lose corporate revenues from hospitality etc

Looks like tickets are available to all again plus ES1 has been taken off sale (maybe given to Saints)?

Only Wardle will get a ban IMO.

Likely Peet will have to bring Ian Thornley in a bit earlier than would be ideal (particularly for such a big game). Powell will play halfback and we'll likely go with a third prop on the bench.

Heavy underdogs but we'll have a chance if we can be very tight defensively.

Re: Good Friday : Thu Mar 30, 2023 11:09 pm  
I’m excited already!

Similar team to tonight I reckon. Field, Marshall and Cust will all be out.

Depends what the coaching staff thing of Astley if he’s ready chuck him in I reckon. As much as I’d love the win it’s not a playoff/cup game. Could always keep it steady with Powell.

French
King
KPP
Wardle (Thornley if banned)
Miski
Astley
Smith
Cooper
Powell
Byrne
Isa
Farrell
Smithies

Shorrocks
Ellis
Havard
O’Neill

If Astley not ready Powell to the halves, O’Neill starting, Singleton/Mago onto the bench.

Hopefully a great game with a full house.

If the disciplinary committee are consistent Wardle will get a £250 fine.

Team picks itself if that is the case with the exception of the halves if both Field (his is now surely our first choice 6) and Cust are not fit.

If both Field and Cust are out then I’d go with Shorrocks at half.

Marshall should be back next week. The plan for Thornley is to play 80 mins for Barrow against Whitehaven next Friday before he’s brought back.

That's what I was told as well. I'd be amazed if Marshall misses next week. I also thought that the Wardle hit was a bad one but given he has no previous he may well escape with a fine.

“Liam should be back in the next few weeks. He had a bad stud on his foot, which was too swollen to stitch.”

Just going off this. Bit vague. Hopefully he plays.

The Wigantoday article headline is Cust field and Marshall are all out of Good Friday although the new reporter covering Wigan isn’t the best so may have got the wrong end of the stick.

Yeah he did say that to be fair but then after that he says...

"We will look at rotating some of our existing squad"

"Ryan Hampshire is out, Cade is out, Jai is out"

No mention of Marshall there which I thought was telling
