Not sure. The RFL insist it has to be played at a first team venue. Clearly they aren't allowed at the DW so are left with little choice. Its been suggested the 2011 of Leigh isn't on because they are hosting Championship Finals day the same weekend. |

| Quote: wiganrl "Having been to most 19's games this season and before I've always favoured Williams over Hampshire even though I believe Hampshire has more to his game than Williams in terms of his goal kicking and ability to play in more than his natural position of stand off but that's been one attribute that a lot of Stand Offs have the ability to fill in at Full Back with little problem, I just enjoy watching Williams more and it slightly irritates me when people report on the 19's games as all they talk about is Hampshire whereas as if not for Williams then Hampshire wouldn't stand out as much for example the Leeds game at the weekend Willliams created several tries one of which was for Hampshire I just struggle to understand why Williams rarely gets mentioned for his major contribution to the side, but that aside both are very exciting prospects and I'm just glad they are in reserve for Wigan and not Saints, Leeds or Wire as both have massive potential both players remind me of younger versions of Sam in as much as you can only see greats things in the future for both players and in my honest opinion Williams will remain at Scrum Half but despite Tierney being around I see Hampshire as the long term Sam replacement and can see Tierney switch to either Wing or Centre.'"
Must agree with this - Williams seems a solid and an all round player - several times he stopped Leeds forwards head on and pushed them back. Also a very clever and natural rugby player. Doesn't have the speed and evasion of Hampshire but boy what a combination they might be  |

I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to make the young lads play away instead of at home as it will help build there character of majority of crowd is against them. |

I was hoping for a ground closer than Headingley, I cannot make it on the 28th. Seems a shame that the best team doesn't get the advantage. Does anyone know if we are showing it live on Wigan TV?

Disappointed that it has to be a standalone game, what a curtain raiser that would be to our game on Friday

Its ridiculous that the lads have to play at Leeds, Mr Leneghan needs to grow a pair of b@!!@x for once in his life.

It's free admission to the game on Saturday. Leeds are opening the main stand.

Out of interest, why is it at Headingley?
Maybe if Wigan weren't tenants they could stage events like this. When they become a big club like us they might get their own ground
Ask Tesco !

Of course Leeds are a bigger club than Wigan due to them winning more trophies than Wigan and having larger crowds than us!

When we had our own ground we used to play Leeds away in finals then.
I'll always remember Wigan giving Leeds a good hiding in the 1983 John Player Final ..... I think it was played there because Headingley is a small ground .... suprising really for a big club !
