Take your pick from 1-17

Maybe they want a merger through the back door and as soon as they get a full 19 from Wigan they can call themselves Wiganfield

And replace who?

You could argue Bailey, but Hansen and Joel might have something to say about that.

It's not as simple as you suggest. We have a wealth of backrowers. Even Hansen and Joel are not guaranteed first team action each week, and that's good because it's a sign that we have a competitive squad. Pitch Mossop in there as well and maybe you're asking too much of him.

If Huddersfield think they can accommodate him more readily, all well and good. Just because they're higher up the league, it's not a given that their 11-13 are better than ours. In fact, I'd argue that they aren't. I'd argue there are few back rows in the comp as good as ours (or at least with as many decent players vying for three positions).

That may be correct now but people might have to take notice of the Giants in 2010 with Fa'alogo, Hock and Wild in the back three

*chomp*

None of our back rowers have direct shooting places IMO for the starter positions. This includes Hock who is more of an impact player.

Some clubs have hardly any quality younger players, like Huddersfield.
Wigan have an abundance.
Mossop is clearly being trained up to first team standard, the fact that he's on loan for a period to help with his training is excellent.
Noble would send out more than Mossop if he could find takers.
Trouble is most clubs are now, mid season, up to their SC limit or what they can afford.

According to teletext he is set to make his debut against Wakefield this weekend

What a load of bollox

Why?

Bar Lawrence and to a degree Cudjoe who've you produced in the last 10 years? even those 2 are far from the finished article.

Go research it, i'll start you off

Gleeson

Keep going

World Class players like Crabtree I'll help out too Tom Hemingway is another local fella

Anyway on topic, great move for Mossop, hope he gets a really good run in the first team, be of great benefit to him
