What a complete bunch of bollox.
Friendlies are used to test strategy, to see how the younglings cope away from the training ground and confirm the fitness of the more established, returning players.
I can't get to Orell for reserves games, so this'll actually be my first look at some of the new squad.
Also, neither us nor Leigh are registered charities so at least some recoupment of costs has to be sought. £20 is nothing in the grand scheme of things. Who bestowed on you the right of arbiter to decide how I spend my hard earned cash?

Sorry, I meant if Catalan was in a position to field a much weaker side because the game didn't matter to them , then maybe it became a pointless or a meaningless game in general.

Very well said sir

But its ok for you to tell me how I should spend my hard earned cash is it? Please don't fill me with all this "strategy bollox" that you mention because strategy doesn't come into it, the game is all about blowing the cobwebs off and giving people a run out. You can't get to academy games whereas I can therefore I've seen how the young lads are progressing and therefore don't need to see them in a pointless "friendly". I can and will watch the academy games throughout the season, something that I have always done in the past and will continue to do so in the future. The point you make about charity doesn't warrant a reply to be fair. At the end of the day if you want to go and watch the game and pay £20 then go ahead and do it, it doesn't affect me either way.

Obviously enough for this pointless rant. I'm not presuming to tell anybody to do anything. I'm not that self absorbed or arrogant.

Your the one ranting, I've not actually told anyone what to do if you could have been bothered to read the posts. I would review your opinions on yourself to be fair because they appear to be outdated.

Sorry, for one moment there I thought that I had strayed onto the Wigan Today combox.

now that is full of tools!

There is no Ronnie Broccol or Stey on here however I do see your point
and no I don't post on there.....I just find it amusing

I’ll be attending, I’m sure there will be thousands of other fools to join me. After two months without any professional rugby £20 feels like an absolute bargain! As someone else already mentioned, these Leigh friendlies are usually better than quite a few of our regular season games. Particularly looking forward to seeing how Tierney and Powell get on, they both need a big season if they are to make it at the club IMO.

And you will do for me. Well said pal.

Two more fools to attend cant wait.
