"Games as big as a grand finals define individuals and clubs. Remember we are only renting these shirts, I had my time in Pat Richards shirt. Ellery and Faz had there time in Sean's, Hampo and Radders in Sam's. You have to make a mark in these shirts that's still there the day you hand it over to someone else. So be aware for 80 minutes you are not only playing but also writing history and creating a legacy. How many people get to actually write history, not many. A big stage demands big players, be inspired. You play for Wigan, now go do it. Good luck." - Martin Offiah, 2010.:27588.gif |

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.

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.

I do think he could have looked for a little more work last week. |

Seems like changes for the sake of changes to me. Williams didn't play well on Saturday and I can see the reasoning behind dropping him, but neither did the majority of the team. Neither Smith or Gale have played a minute of any of the 3 games so far and I guess Smith has probably got the nod because he's played with Widdop before. If McNamara has watched that game back and thought "I know what'll solve this, McGilvary for Burgess!" then he's even more of a clown than I ever imagined. One or two tweaks in the forwards maybe, but other than that it's the tactics that need addressing much more than personnel.
Regardless of the result on Saturday it's time for a change of coach IMO. How he's lasted over 5 years I'll never know. I have always thought that he should've been replaced after the 2011 4N and I'm adamant that this group of players' development would have been much further along than it is if he had have been. |

I agree with why he's gone for Smith. Its also not necessarily a bad thing in Williams' development to realise he's got some way to improve. Having watched Widdop closely this year, I was afraid this might happen, as I've gone from being really excited about him playing for England to really doubting his ability to create tries at the highest level.

Widdop has looked like a fullback playing at Stand Off.

Is there a chance Williams & Smith will be the half back combination with Smith being included for his long kicking game that can be good when he's on form. McGilvary would be a more muscular option in kick chase and running the ball back than Joe Burgess so i guess that may be why he could get the nod.
