Wonder if Cooper will debut ?

Do they not do what Leeds do? If you haven’t collected them by the day of the match they take them to the away ground snd you pick them up from there?

Not sure mate. When I’ve ordered either away tickets or home cup tickets previously, they’ve just been posted out. This time, I noticed ‘collect only’ and I’m not sure why.

Just seen a post from the club that says it's down to the proposed Royal Mail strikes this week.

You can pick them up from the Leeds ticket office at the game. https://wiganwarriors.com/blog/2022/06/21/ticket-info-leeds-a/

Thanks for that. My Mrs is travelling up to Chorley tomorrow, so will nip in for the tickets on her way through.

This game and last Friday's game are the types of fixture that should be a real selling point for the sport - unfortunately injuries and underperformance meant last week's game was a non contest and this week's game probably won't be what it should be (Thursday scheduling also doesn't help).

The competition really needs the likes of Leeds, Warrington and Hull to get it together so we can see high quality, high profile fixtures more regularly. Leeds look to be heading in the right direction under Rohan Smith and hopefully Warrington/Hull are starting to get the message that you need to focus on your youth development to be successful long term.

If Leeds and Wigan + Wire now show you anything, then a coach is the single most important hire any club can make. Appoint a Lam or Powell and it doesn't matter who you have, the season won't even begin.

Just mentioned in the Cooper thread that good coaches seem to make good signings and poor coaches make poor ones. I’m convinced if Saints and Woolf had signed Peter Mautautia, Joe Bullock, George Williams etc, they’d all be flying and had Powell and Wire got somebody like Hurrell, he’d still be the overweight liability he was at Leeds. Teams get so hung up on fixing problems by signing player after player but the man in charge will always be the most important. It’s the same with Man Utd in football. All I hear is their fans screaming for new players but if the new manager is worth his salt, there’s plenty of talent he can turn around and get playing better already at the club.

Very good point well made.
