England NZ 3rd Test @ DW : Mon Nov 02, 2015 10:20 pm  

Can someone please help me as I've looked elsewhere and can't seem to find out. I'm looking at buying multiple tickets for either the North or South stand for the final test at Wigan on November 14th.

When I've come to book tickets, it won't let me buy 3 or 4 together, but it does let me buy individual ones. Can someone please tell me if these stands are unreserved for this game as they are for Wigan games or is it assigned seating?

Please feel free to delete thread once theres an answer. Thanks

It's assigned seating for this game - and the end stands are now apparently sold out save for single seats.

They'd sold 20,000 in total by the back end of last week. I'd imagine plenty rushed out on the back of that so I'd say it'll sell out pretty quickly.

We were planning to see if it was a decider after going to London this weekend but decided we couldn't afford to wait.

Ben Thaler is in control of the decider.

The Australian ref was very good and fair to both teams would not mind him again.

So bring in McGillvary but drop his club centre partner. And lose a forward to boot?

OK...

I'd have brought Gale in but Smith will do. Our two halves have offered no sort of control in the first two games and look like they're running up blind alleys at points.

I'd level the majority of the blame at the more experienced Widdop. He's had two poor games in comparison to Williams having one pretty good game and one shocker.

If Burgessis dropped I think that's totally unfair tbh. He's been quiet but name a back who hasn't?! The game plan has given nobody a shot to express themselves. Our most dangerous back in Watkins has seen hardly any ball and in turn nor has Burgess. All the back five have done nothing wrong so if he's singled out that's bad form.
