I knew we didn't have any DR's & hopefully the people who said their not going due to the partnership realise this is our squad & our players so lets get behind the lads "COME ON LEEEIGH"

Leigh and Wigan have stated that the only D/C's moving to Leigh will be under 23 on 31 August 2012. Other clubs are not applying that age restriction. There's one EXACT difference for starters.

There you go Starbug that's one difference that's 'EXACTLY' separate to the likes of Swintons/Hunslets etc twinning

So answer me why have we signed up to it if we do not need too?

PLease explain from page 1 of this why we have signed up when clearly we do not need to as you are allpointing out we had no wigan players playing

Please explain away

Because its a long season and Paul has a small squad.

For the last few years we have had a few dc's making the numbers up. If we want to do that the RFL say we need to sign up with someone.

And any DC players will be below a certain age so no Sam Tomkins.

No different to what we did last season.

Don't know what the fuss is about.

I think the fuss is how it got out in the first place and the message it portrayed.

Now it's all there in black and white I really don't see what the problem is. It's not great but its better than shoving a 17 year old in the first team squad when he's not ready and were short on numbers.

I think the last 2 posts answer your questions very well Jeff , hopefully you are now satisfied,lets let the matter drop now , and concentrate on Supporting the lads throughout the rest of the Season , no more talks of boycotts or demonstrations , just positive thoughts .

I realise not everyone will want this , but they are a very small minority , thankfully .

A few seasons ago when the friendlies werre announced it was said then that a few wigan youngsters would be made available to us and Chris Wroe went the other way. Not one eyelid was batted and people were very happy. Can someone please tell me what has changed?

Wasn't that more to do with the absence of a reserve team of our own though, with Sam Singleton playing at Widnes in the same circumstances?

Doesn't matter Matt. People were more than happy then to be getting some of Wigans young prospects so what has changed.

Because there wasn't much of an alternative at the time so it was the only time they were going to get any game time. Entirely different situation now that we have a reserves. Not our problem if Wigan have more players than squad places as far as I'm concerned, and if anything is indicative of them hoovering up as many young players as possible.

With respect that is a bit simplistic.

We are in the Championship with Towns people who have stopped supporting their town's team whereas Wigan do have far more supporters and consequently more money to attract promising players.

That has been the case for a long time and will continue until we either get more fans through the gate or a diehard fan wins the lottery.

Face the truth however unpalatable it may be that we are continuing what as a club we did last season but this season duals will not be from Warrington because of what the current Super League club chairmen have imposed on Championship clubs.
