Bennett on the WCC: http://www.illawarramercury.com.au/news ... 80824.aspx Doesn't know much about us yet. No doubt he'll cram this week: Question: Have you had much chance to prepare? Do you know much about Wigan? WB: No, we don't at the moment. We'll have a bit of a look next week when we're over there. At the moment we're focused on getting through here and jumping on a plane on Saturday and we have nine days to sort it out. Question: You've been over to England a couple of times with the Broncos, what have you found is the key to winning? WB: Good ball control, just accepting the conditions and respecting the fact that they can play.

Doesn't look like a sell-out anymore now. RFL have released tickets to Wigan. Prices only needed to be 5-10 quid lower and it was a certain sell-out!

Will look pretty terrible with so many empty seats.

With over 20,000 tickets sold a week before the game you are worried that it will look 'pretty terrible with so many empty seats'.I assume you are trying desperately hard to be negative about the event.Even if not a single extra ticket was sold before sunday,it will still look packed out.

I don't think it'll look too bad. Saints at home last year wasn't a sell out although it looked pretty close to one on the telly. Think there'll be a few more tickets picked up this week anyway. I'll be surprised if there's more than 1000 left on the website by the weekend

I agree it should definitely have easily sold out, but I dont think it will look too bad because most of the empty seats seem to be at the edges. Still should be a good 20k+ crowd.

Not at all. The North stand will have around 2000 seats empty and the west stand will have large gaps.

This is the biggest game of the year, I am just disapointed it is so easy to get a ticket.

Hopefully we'll get a bit of a rush this week to eat in to those North stand gaps.

The gaps in the North would be a bit of a bugger, but with the cameras in the West it won't look that bad.

Well done to the RFL for selling 'fook all' tickets!!
