Don't know why not - we used to, didn't we? Used to be a good warm-up watching the reserves, too

We should do it then.

Reserve Team Kick Off at 12noon against Bradford at Orrell on Saturday ahead of the 5:30pm 1st Team Match at the JJB.

Season Ticket Holders get free entry. Probably be up there myself to see how Mathers is getting on.

The Reserve league actually started the weekend just gone but Wigan had a Bye Week to start. The big shock being Leeds Reserves 40-48 defeat at home to Celtic Crusaders!

Don't be too fooled by that shock result. Celtic Crusaders had Paul Ballard, Ste Tyrer (who scored 8 tries and kicked four goals) Aled James and David Tangata-Toa in that side.

But in fairness they did have 13 welsh born players in that side so the result should be applauded but should come as no suprise given the amount of experience Celtic Crusaders played with.

Not quite correct.

And Mark Lennon, who I would expect was highly influential.

We certainly played one there v Warrington. I think that was the first time I ever saw Kevin Penny play.

I think it is a shame we cant play the reserve games before our home games at the JJB, more people would be able to go to them I think.

It would be great to play it before home games. Im sure that there would be more people coming earlier to watch them than people who would go to Orrell on a Saturday. Would be a good experiance for the players aswell.

Not gunna happen though
