Another player to go out on dual-reg. Think that's nine that have gone out now. He's joined Blackpool.

Good move, again.

(better than Cas, anyway...)

Great news. Can't wait to see some of these lads play in the first team though!

Be interesting to see how the Under 20s fair on Saturday having been stripped of their two top try scorers (him and Stefan Marsh).

It also means btw that all 34 members of our first team squad, except Karl Pryce, Joe Mellor (injured) and Ian Thornley are all getting regular first team action somewhere.

Just highlights the huge quality in our squad. No one mentioning the injuries we have at the moment. Thats going to put us in a pretty strong position during the second half of the season I think. Not sure anyone else comes close to that.

Yet again making the most of Dual Registration

Pryce is too old to go out on dual registration, and I suspect Thornley too young, especially as he is still doing his A levels.

Nothing to stop Pryce going out on loan though as some of our players are/have, and Thornley's parents obviously have some common sense and are ensuring he finishes his education.

I don't know anything about the financial arrangements for all these dual registrations and loans and I have no doubt that it is beneficial to all our young players who are playing at other clubs. However, does all this leave us a bit more space on our salary cap for a surprise mid season signing? or do these youngsters not all count towards the cap?

They're paid such a small amount, it's probably not all that significant as far as our total cap goes.

Great work by Wigan getting so many young lads out on loan, full credit to them

Charnley been goal kicking on his Blackpool debut tonight. Always had that in his locker but was perhaps number 3 kicker behind Josh Veivers and Jack Murphy at our Under 20s level.

He also scored two tries. Great debut it seems. 48-12 they won to go top of Championship 1.

Scored another try and a goal Charnley in the first half for Blackpool in South Wales. Other Wigan youngster Neil Holland sin binned as well.

I'd give Charnley a game next week at Widnes!

Blackpool had 3 sin binned in all. They look very good going forward, but they did seem to show their dirty streak this afternoon.

Yeah Neil Holland went off twice!
