I'd imagine Wigans side will include a few younger players with a stronger team being played at Warrington.

They may just play a big squad in both and give alot of players 40 minutes in each game.

I hope we send a full strength side to leigh and dont hold them back for the wire game 3 days later.

I would personally play a reserve side at wire and save our full strength side for 20th Feb.

Roll out the big boys for the leigh game and then keep them fresh for the Crusaders 12 days later.

Hope the coaches think the same.

Last year we sent a decent side to Wire to end up playing a virtual reserve side. From a spectator point of view a wate of money.

Why play a full strength side at wire. We play them in the league 3 weeks later. I would go full stregnth and full on at leigh and then rest up and fine tune ready for the crusaders.

I'd just think they'd want to play the strongest team against the best opposition we'll face in pre season. It's also our last pre season game and i'd guess they'll want to get the combinations that will play in the Crusaders game some practice as a unit as close as possible to that first league game.

Whatever sides turn out at Leigh and Wire i can't wait for the games. It's been a very long off season.

Maguire just confirmed in an interview on the official site that it'll be a senior side against Wakefield, a mixed team of seniors and juniors against Leigh and then back to the Senior side for the Warringon game.

I think you can read in to that we will be sending a reserve side to leigh and going with 2 full hit outs at wakey and wire.

A bit disapointing for us would liked to have seen a first team squad even though we would get a pasting, then again we may still do.

Sweet, couldn't make the Leigh game anyway. I hope Warrington put out a strong team this team.
