Wigan vs Leigh, Champions vs Cup Winners, it makes sense.

Which is why the RFL probably won't do it.

Not a regular fixture, but I'd absolutely love to see a possible Vs probables game in preseason. Hold it at Robin Park/DW and get a family type day organised.

There's some interesting sides that you could pick i.e Thompson at 13 Vs Ellis at 13. Leeming Vs O'Neil. Faz and Walters Vs Nesmeba and Isa. Or you could mix it up with Farrimond and French Vs Hampshire and Smith etc. There are literally loads you can pair up/off against eachother.

HDM reporter thinks it will be a repeat of the grand final first game for you and Catalan

Re: 2024 fixtures : Mon Nov 20, 2023 10:18 pm  

Wigan v Leigh opening round would be a no brainer. Like most have said it would likely attract a massive attendance. Both clubs have recruited strongly and online marketing would be heavily promoted by both clubs it "makes so much sense".

Which 'no doubt' is why it won't happen and will probably be Catalans at home in front of 14k.

Talk of Magic going to Elland Road. I think I’d rather pull it tbh.

Absolutely. Imagine trying to watch 3 games over a six hour period. Up there with Anfield as the most uncomfortable seats going. Add to the fact around the stadium there's not much going on.

Bin it.

In the NZ V Aussie World Cup semi, I sat on the touchline facing the main stand and I literally couldn’t get my legs down because it was so tight. Seating bolted on to the original terracing. No way is it fit for Magic.

What better way to grow the sport than by taking it to the 2nd most overrated stadium in Leeds?

Re: 2024 fixtures : Wed Nov 22, 2023 6:26 pm  

Our turn to go to the JJB as an opener. Leigh will take 6000.

Will be a great occasion.
