I believe Smith played in the 3rd test against the best team in the world and do not too bad. Only saying like.

Leigh fan bringing up players under-performing, that's some blinkers right there.

Can't blame them for trying to sledge us.

This pre season friendly against our reserves is their cup final for the season. They actually have some fans who have the scores of our pre season games on their avatars. That's how much it means to them.

I won't be going, i'd prefer to give my money to Wigan TV if its on there.

Jake Emmitt Mathias Pala and Harrison Hansen also missing from Leigh squad. Good luck for the coming season guys.

Not at all arrogant Cherry, it's a friendly versus a weak Pie side (yet again) Would rather Leigh played a '1st choice' championship xiii in a friendly, than this pointless fixture year in, year out. Guess the attendance will be OK, but why not send your 'strongest' line up, rather than excuses about your England players only just returned to training.

Pity about Hansen - I bet he was really looking forward to playing against his former team. Barlow also missing. We can't really turn out any of our youngsters - Harper excepted - as we haven't got a reserve grade team in 2016!

Still think it's a pretty strong Wigan side, given some of the restrictions on their selection - i.e. injuries, operations, players starting late, following international duty.

Hopefully a good, competitive game.

How are they excuses? Why would we pick our best players for a meaningless friendly? It obviously means a lot to you though.

This fixture means more to leigh than it does to Wigan, its pointless to me and doesn't achieve anything other than to rob the fools who are willing to pay £20 to see it. I subscribe to Wigan TV so if its on there then i will watch it but to have to pay to watch it......i think not.

To be fair I think you are right Wigg'n this fixture will always mean more to us as we don't get a lot of chances to play sides like Wigan very often I am afraid.

Would be great if you were back in Super League...

I still can't work out how they so comprehensively screwed up the promotion run. Having the Leithers in the top tier is probably overdue (I actually quite like the odd bowl of lobby now & again).

But those fools you are alluding to are true Wigan fans who truly want to follow their team.

You are obviously not one of them.

Cheers mate, yes it would be brilliant for us but as yet still a dream, but we live in hope.

We cannot work it out either CyberPieMan.
