No we definately been looking for loan players for just a month or so like we have had with Mort from Leigh.

I did think it was a daft rumour, But thanks for the crack about Marsh etc

Question though, says on Wigan site he a stand off....but seems he playing centre...whats he best at ?

He's played mostly at centre or wing for the academy / reserves.
IMO his best position is fullback, I'd love to see him play there for you.

Isnt that why we took Veivers ?...where would you play him ?

By way is he Phil Veivers lad ?

This is great news


Giving all our talented yound players the experience they need.
Makes the future look even brighter for us



I'd love a team full of Wiganers...

Can we have Mossop ?...we'd love a team of havener's

yes he is.
A very good organiser from that fullback position and good goalkicker.

haha. I reckon he's fine with us

Just what i was thinking we should be giving the likes of pat, sam, tommy, joel, lockers coley and stu a week off when we go to sheffield

I agree entirely with young players going out to Championship clubs, it is a much higher standard than the U20 competiiton and many come back much better players. I was just stating with the number of young players going and playing in the Championship does MM think the U20s competition is not up to the neccessary standard to test the most promising juniors.

I'm pretty sure most coaches think that. I know IL has said as much in the past, and the press release implies it too:

"...an opportunity to play First Team Rugby League against senior players in a very competitive Championship side and gain higher-level match experience."

These deals tend to work where the players train with Wigan during the week and play fopr the championship clubs at the weekend. As for the cup they tend not to play in those rounds.

The dual reg players aren't allowed to play for any club but the parent club in the cup. It's a condition of the dual reg system. Wigan youngsters can only play for Wigan in the cup.
