In League weekly , he's drooling at the prospect of playing Andy Powell

So, are the club going against the original agreement or, as a lot of us thought in the first place, Wigan are just going to dictate!

yet another NEGATIVE post !

Age 31....you work it out
Get away with this, and no saying where it will end!

our 'cash crisis' concerns me more than this.
it's boring all this bollox, answer me this - how many Wire loan signings did we have in the previous 2 seasons....didn't hear too many complaints then.
Although as I have already stated, the (so called) agreement does not allow this to happen. I have 'worked it out' but in our current climate, why the dramatic headline ? Joanne Winker.

Ok then ,lets have an agreement, then not adhere to it!

Then you wonder why we cant get the crowds in!

I would welcome him on a season loan, best for all parties. FT at Wigan and playing at a higher level than C1 to learn his trade

Well it would put bums on seats, and FWIW, i think he will be an awesome Rl player!

However, it goes against EVERYTHING that has been agreed......and once that happens....

season loans are not dc's

Wether he is good or not is not the issue.

Even if we took him on loan we would have ex fans going around town telling folk how we are effectively Wigan Reserves.

WE ARE NOT and if you don't want to believe it well that is up to you.

Last year we had Nash on loan, this is a new to RL intl ru player who has not yet played a game for Wigan so if it happens and if selected his RL debut would be for Leigh RLFC

Is the point not whether he's good enough?

He'll get shown up defensively and fitness wise, he's not used to running, tackling and driving the ball for 80 minutes.

He's used to plodding about with his hands in his pockets lying on another fatty waiting for a penalty so he can have a 5 minute rest while the scrum half ponces about looking good while he kicks a penalty.

'he's going to be an outstanding attacking threat' is what people keep saying.

Not if he's knackered he's not.

I thought this owd pony had been put to bed by now , as Budgie says it is getting boring , Powell CANNOT come to Leigh as a DC ,he is to old , but can come on loan ,its up to Paul R how long he comes for , as Mo said , it could be on a season long loan , i dont know ,but we wont be flooded by DCs , i have every faith in Paul R.

This should be given a positive spin and marketed rightit could get speccys through our turnstyle to see what hes about.

Paul Rowley needs to make the final call on players as he will live or die by results.

The pie chairman was on the radio last Thursday and said he was sure Powell will make his rl debut playing for the pies, so hopefully he will not be coming to us.

If a 31 year old former RU player new to RL who has just signed a big contract at Wigan Warriors RLFC turned out for Leigh Centurions on loan or DR then we will have become Wigan's reserve team no matter how much its dressed up.

If Leigh go back on what they said or look for loopholes such as 'he's not on DR he's on loan' then the club will end up in a right mess and its for that reason I agree with your last line Frank, I don't believe people at the club are so stupid to insult the fans intelligence.

Hopefully whoever is in charge has a word with Rowley (if indeed the quote is correct / taken in context) as at the moment in time we all need to be pulling together and comments like that are untimely and unwelcome.
