Academy grand Final. Wigan vs Leeds

Recommended Posts

Wigan take on Leeds this friday at the  DW stadium in the under 19s Grand final, 17.30 kickoff.

Two very talented teams with some genuine first team potential between them. In the semis Wigan beat Huddersfield 50 - 0 and Leeds Won at St Helens 40 - 18

Wigan finished top of the league table and beat Leeds 24- 0 recently so will rightly go into the game as favorites.

And what a crazy kick-off time 5.30 on a Friday. How on earth can Leeds fans watch this.

According to the Leeds Rhinos website the game will be shown live at Headingley before the qualifiers match.

It would be difficult to play it later as Wigan play Hull later.

Obviously not happening this year, but is there any reason they couldnt play it at old trafford as a curtain raiser to the grand final like they do with the state championship game in Australia?

Would be a great experience for the youngsters involved.

Yes, agreed. But... for some reason the weather always intervenes that weekend.

Or even a double header with the women’s GF at the Etihad campus

I wouldn't have thought that Man Utd would be too keen on that idea. They may just about cope with the wear and tear of one game but they are hardly going to want a 2nd on the same day with absolutely no benefit to themselves

Will be interesting to see as a Fev fan as 2 of the rhinos players have signed to us next season
