rlBack At Salfordrl

In the past this move made plenty of sense and it still does but it's come at a time when he's started to look like he's turning in to a good player. We can't keep them all and I've said previously he would be the first out the door for me to be able to be able to fit Sam Tomkins in but I do feel he's been a little harshly treated in recent weeks. Since Sam Powell came in to the side he's produced nothing in all honesty and Logan's form earlier in the year was far better but that's the way it is.

Something had to give.

powell should have gone

Crazy decision, was looking a massively improved player early doors, much better then what Powell has brought to the team in recent weeks. Still can't understand why he was dropped for Powell anyway?

Powell is Waneys lovechild

It's all about the young kids. Sadly at 22, Logan is past it.

I believe his attitude (more nonchalant that poor) is a big frustration with the coaching staff. Maybe a permanent move away from his siblings would be better for him.
Personally I would have him any day of the week before Powell at 9.

If that is true I am frustrated our coaching staff don't know how to deal with it other than by shipping the player out.

God knows what they would have made of Brett Kenny.



Powell hasn't impressed but that is not his natural position either is it?

I'd be surprised if attitude was an issue because that above all else is what I hear him being praised for.

One thing we shouldn't forget is the player may have wanted this move. He's getting to an age where he needs regular rugby and that's unlikely to happen here.

I know that Hooker isnt Powell's position so surely, given Salfords current half back injury situation we should have offered Powell tothem rather than Tomkins...

Those of you who watch the academy u19's will know that Luke Waterworth is a very good #9 with a passing game that is the best I've seen since Martin Dermott. My only reservation is his size, but he will get stronger as he gets older.
Maybe Wigan have decided that he will get a chance in some games later this year with the possibility of making the first team squad in 2016/2017.

Helpful addition as we've been struggling in the 9 position since Tommy Lee picked up his season ending injury over Easter. With Tomkins, we should also see the best out of Liam Hood again who undoubtedly plays his best RL coming off the bench as an impact hooker.

I think this move could be the final nail in the coffin of the DR partnership with Workington. Last week Town were without their main hooker and Wigan allowed Logan to be named in the DR's for Town's match with Halifax. He was named in the 19 man match-day squad but on the Friday evening Wigan withdrew him just in case they got an injury in that weekends games. Now today he is going on loan to Salford. We had Gildart and Greenwood on DR one week and then the next they were off to Salford as well. It seems that Wane just sends up who he likes not necessarily what Workington need and the fans are now heartily sick of it. Our own players have been moved around to accommodate some of the Wigan players and it has caused unrest in our camp. I'm afraid this system has always been for the benefit of Wigan not Workington but not for much longer hopefully.

isn't this the basic problem with dual registration? The bigger club will always look to bully the junior partner to some degree. And, let's be honest, realistically a few months at Town isn't going to do that much to prepare a player for top flight SL.

I can't agree with that as a few months playing against the likes of Leigh, Bradford, London, Featherstone, Halifax, Sheffield I would have thought ideal preparation for moving up in to SL.
