First thought that came to mind when I saw the article on the official site  |

It is very bad news for Leigh if Sale RU move in at LSV. The term "cuckoo in the nest" could have been made for them. Look what happened to Stockport County. I would imagine they will probably parasitise Salford instead though. |

LSV is owen by the council so they will have the say on what goes.
I think it's great, more money and more chance to get people through the gates. |

Sounds great in theory but basically it just means they've no roots. Recipe for disaster in my book. |

How many people in the north west like Rugby union? There isnt many who will even entertain watching it especially at double the price of rugby league!. You mention Rugby in the north west and people instantly talk about Wigan & St Helens. You mention Sale sharks and people think your talking about ice hockey

Sad to see MH go as, overall, I believe that he has done well thus far. However, that's where fans and employees differ. It's his job and you cannot blame him for making a move that, in his opinion, is furthering his career.

That's why people pay people like Hogan a fortune to jump ship I'm afraid - we would do well to not be too flippant about it. The only thing keeping RL alive is strength around the north west - it only takes one generation of kids to have their heads turned by union and we'll be gone.

| Quote: Odemwingie "You are comparing Orrell to Sale Sharks ![]()
As a kid I remember Orrell regularly playing 'Sale' as they were known then and regularly beating them, too. And Wasps, and London Irish. Prior to professionalism, and immediately after under Whelan, they threatened to do very well indeed.
So a comparison between Sale and Orrell, whilst irrelevant now, isn't all that mad.
In any case, we all know that the reason Orrell went tits up is because the old-fashioned com-mitt-eh wouldn't give up the old way of doing things in favour of Whelan's forward thinking plan to make them not only competitive, but great. 
In all seriousness, what actually happened is anyone's guess, and not fathomable from what you choose to read. There are two very biased accounts out there - one of which is from the Orrell lot (who clearly wrote the Wikipedia entry) who say that Whelan was only every interested in the training pitches for development, and from the Whelan camp who say that Orrell were too stuck in their ways and resisted all attempts by Whelan to modernise the club, hence why he pulled his investment.
It's not for me to say which is closer to the truth, but I know which side I suspect to be.

I agree we cant rest on our laurels but moving them to LSV would be suicide imo. Its right in staunch Rugby league territory. With two massive clubs like us and Saints round the corner plus Warrington who are growing and will start to challenge for honours regularly theres not much to aim at is there? |

I agree that Leigh looks a terrible choice for them, but any club with cash to throw at a project can probably pull a crowd in either code - depends how important the RFU think the north west is. |

Thank you Mick for all your help over the last 2 years.
Wigan RLFC is in a much better state thanks to your hard work.

Even if Sale move to Leigh, the longer term plan seems to be a move to Barton with Salford.
MH going is a massive blow for the club, and it is critical that IL gets the right man with the right commitment this time around.

He came from the other code so not surprised he has gone back to RU, he did a good job for us just hope we get someone who knows the game and has worked in RL before and would help they have wigan in their heart/blood.
