We won't be having any dual regs this season us Fev, Fax, Sheffield and one more team can't because we aren't in a partnership with a SL club we can have up to 5 loanees instead

HI....J C. THIS IS MESSAGE IS FOR YOU...NO DUEL'S NEXT SEASON AND WE ARE NOT GOING TOO BE A FEEDER CLUB FOR WIGAN OR ANY S/L CLUB. JOHN READ YOUR EMAIL'S....EDDIE...

Only idiots shout on a message board.

Spencer has to be nailed on signing for us with swinton & wire partnership already in place Tom will be a cracking addition to our squad. I'm looking forward to the pies friendly & have a gander at their backs

So realistically that's a bit of a problem given PR's reliance on 'filling the gaps' with dual contract players as he mentioned at the Fans Forum? And even then, the only 'loanees' we'll be able to sign will presumably be for the full season and only from Wigan with them being a non-partnered club? Looks to me as if it's a last ditch attempt from the powers that be to try and force our hand and sign up to a 'partnership' after all, something I hope we resist as strongly as possible.

Loans are subject to a minimum of 1 month.

Trevor siad last night at the LISA meeting that we would be getting some loanees and we would know Monday on one of them, hope this happens as hes proved it and fits in well at Leigh.

Which would mean a pretty limited choice of player that Wigan would be prepared to release, I'd say.

Can we take loanees from any club or just ones who haven't twinned?

Probably just the ones who haven't twinned as their partner club will surely get first refusal on players.

If you consider the quality of players who aren't in the 25 strong squad for Wigan then there are quite a few who would be really useful Championship level.

Spencer, Burke and last years u-18 sign ups are all good options.

hi.....jc sorry for shouting as you call it but i did not know that cap letter's was classed as shouting.also i'am sorry that you think that i'am an idiot,i've not been called an idiot for quite a while, as you know i'am not very clever, but we learn something everyday especially about people.....

Still, given the choice between struggling through an injury crisis and entering a 'partnership', I'd rather see you and 12 other message boarders trotting out than watching the Goons Reserves.

I would suspect that one or two of those might be loaned out to other Super League clubs but we'll see how it turns out.


Not wrong there mate, though the likes of Spencer last season really 'bought in to' being at Leyth so no grumbles in that regard for me.

When it was made public that we'd be having the pies on D/R last season I wasn't happy but seeing Spencer put his body on the line for us playing his heart out means I'd have him back in a heart beat. For me Spencer gets a big for what he did for us & if he doesn't get snapped up by a SL club I look forward to seeing him back here next season
