As Leyther Matt states Wigan have offered at least one of their players to Leigh, and he plays in a position you are struggling in. I really don't understand Leigh not taking up the offer.

I know Wigan used to INSIST that they played 1st team under the 'old' loan system.

Perhaps Leyther Matt's wrong & these players haven't been offered to Leigh. Terry O'Connor will still have friends at Wigan, so perhaps he got offered the players first.

I have it on pretty good authority, I must say.

Neil Holland is it?

He's a prop and thats what Leigh could do with. I don't know too much about him tbh but i'd have thought he's be worth the punt by Leigh if only on a short term deal. I watched him in the u21 Grand Final last year and he looked a real tough player. He ran it hard and hit people in the tackle.

If it's not him i've just wasted my time

The squad has certainly been bulked up with the three dual contracters and Davies on loan but looking at it there are still 11 players of the original 24 man squad that are 21 or under.

So the Pies promise to help us in anyway they can? Is it following the same lines as when Uncle Maurice stated that there was only room for one club in w*gan Metro? Help Leighs main rivals out at all costs seems to be the way they are helping us out? Mick Hogan a Leyther? I cannot beleive this sudden turnaround is to do with Millwards exploits at Wigan and whether we were offered Ben Davies or not surely we would of taken one of the players who have gone to Widnes given the chance? Lets just hope our good friends at Warrington see sence quickly and get these lads to us. I do not licke Loan deals or dual contracts one bit but we are behind the rest by a long way if we don't.

Please point out ANYWHERE on the OFFICIAL website any speculation, or announcement regarding loan players?

I am slightly worried about the duel contract, if a Club uses duel players and gets in a position where they reach the final of the NRC could they call tham back just for one game? Similar to calling back a player half way across the world to play in a final?
Would they play as a full team member or as a reserve? Keeping the NL player from a first team place.

As written before "we do not know who it will benefit", I am sure it will only benefit the SL teams in the long run

About the other things on this thread which crust munchers keep populating, I was upset Mr Milward was not allowed to finish the job at the Stade de Crust and the only relationship between wbgqn and Leigh has been a parasitic one.

At all ?

Because?

Thats no good. How's Sam getting on with us or is he still with you Keith?

Is he not going to be a target in a game like that?

Couple of things.
Leigh may have been initially hesitant to take a player because you're only allowed 4 a season and if you have 3 from us (Wire) then the player being offered as your last spot might not be the one Millward wants, even if you do initially have injury problems in the position.

Someone asked re training. As far as i'm aware they operate a full time role with the SL club except for when the part time club trains plays. So with the Chp club, plus other sessions with the SL club therefore remaining full time.
Dual Contract is better than the loan system because it means the players can move freely between the two, unlike the old system where once returned, that was it, as Widnes discovered at the back end of last year.
In Australia it tends to be used for Feeder clubs, however by limiting the number here the RFL are nipping that one in the bud...for now...

Said it before but personally McCarthy's the best one of the bunch, and by some distance. You'll be impressed by him I reckon. Mitchells got big pre season praise it would seem but for the future..i'd rather have McCarthy. None will relieve your props issue though.
