Final is at cas as wigan not allowed to play in there football ground

[Weareone]

I had to leave when the score was 22-18 we had come back from 6-18 down a lad that as improved all year and for me is not far off the step up is Luis Johnson a second row forward taking nothing away from the rest of the lads HULL were a big set and took some beating, the final should be well worth watching

Taking the ball up Luis Johnson looked very impressive though he went quiet for long periods. The ginger haired sub (not sure of his name) got through alot of work...but a real good shift in.

I think the kicking game could do with a little more work,Hull's were more varied. Their Hooker was the best player on the pitch imo...very McShane-esque!

There hooker was very fast but could not tackle and could not pass right

[braytontiger]

Fully deserved win and quite ironic that a hull lad scored the winning tries in Robbie storey. If it's down the lane we should be aiming for at least a 3k attendance the players deserve to have a big following against most likely Wigan who will very hard to beat but anything is possible with this group of players

Magnificent result boys. Well done all.

What a season the club is having!

Robin park isn't big enough to stage the game and I don't believe the DW is available to the u19s due to the football so Wigan have lost home advantage. Sat 2nd down lane is the possible date although this is TBC early this week.

Would love it to be down lane. Hope Cas advertise it everywhere to get a huge crowd.

Wigan have previously played two academy finals at the DW so it is possible. On one occasion it was played prior to the first team game, so in reality playing before the Cas game would seem sensible but this is the RFL we're talking about.
They also played one final v Wire at Leigh sports village.
The seating area at Robin Park is bigger than that at Cas if the RFL want to play it there.

Never.
With Wigan down at Wembley?
The academy normally go down there with the 1st team, but this is the Yorkshire/Leeds RFL so anything can happen. Wigan have won the right to play the final over in Lancashire.

Who's the U19's coach? Doing a great job.

I'm only saying what is printed in the league express that's the only place I have seen anything with a proposed date on it.

[gateman]

there is a lot to said for NOT being second class tenants in a big shiny stadium were a football team dictates whether rugby can be played, I would love the game to be played down the lane but Wigan finishing top of the pile will not travel over to Yorkshire, it would be nice if the game was played prior to their home fixture against us, here's hoping

[Fumper27]

Think it's Tony Smith

Hopefully it will be sorted out sooner rather than later so supporters can make plans one way or another.it deserves a big crowd for the best two teams in this years competition and hopefully it will be a cracking game. I doubt very much it will be played this weekend coming most likely the following week.

Wigan proposed Sunday 17/09/2017 the same date when the two first teams clash. The suggestion being a double header with the U19s GF taking place earlier in the day and the potential for SKY to televise both games. It would be economic for both clubs, both sets of supporters, offer every under 19 the experience of a lifetime.

I am sure it made perfect sense to every Wigan and Castleford supporter. Shock, horror Castleford have rejected the suggestion. Apparently the Castleford Academy players have booked their holidays :liar: Unprofessional, amateur :-k on so many fronts bar Wigan. The RFL Castleford The Castleford academy players :-"

Unprofessional :-s Wigan to face St Helens in 2016 Academy Grand Final Game to take place at Langtree Park on Sunday 25th September, 2pm kick-off

Castleford 2017 provide a lot to admite on the pitch, off the pitch? pee up brewry :clap: The WCC will be interesting :-"

Wigan I believe are trying to arrange a new date. Never easy with amateurs like the RFL and Castleford Tigers

[Tigerwood posse]

Is this Ian Lenagan ???, why should we play the game at Wigan, it should be on neutral ground, nothing amateur about it at all !!..... Can't make head nor tale of half of the stupid post to be honest.

[lurcher]

lost me after the first 4 emoji's.

[RonnieGibbs'forearm]

Why would that suggestion make sense to every Wigan and Castleford supporter?
