Mild rebuke received & understood.

Clearly, anyone associated with Wigan will do. I'd take the tea lady as cover for full back.

Our youngsters may not be ready yet, hence a couple of Wigan youngsters coming in to plug the gaps for the time being, not really a problem when you look at it that way.
I'm sure the way forward for Rovers ( and everyother S/L club too ) is through there own youth but you can't do it over night. It's a slow and steady progress where well probably only add 1 or 2 youngsters into the 1st team squad as regulars IMO. Season on season you add another 1 or 2 hopefully.
We've seen Welham, then Taylor, then Cox and now Salter, so if my theory is right we should have a home grown 17 by 2025 can't wait.

We were linked with Gil Dudson last year, iirc - did he play much this? He was on the bench for one their late season games I think. Ben Flower - is he any good? Rhodri Lloyd at least has a Wiki page, which is more than can be said of Crosby and Spencer. Chuck enough darts and you're bound to hit the bull!

Coffee woman seems a bit obsessed about this one, maybe the Bar Codes are worried we might be getting a couple of "Charnleys" coming in.

i would take dudson or flower but i think the latter at least plays first team most of the time but like you say name the full team someones bound to be right

From what I was told; Rovers' first choice was to take England Academy utility forward, Greg Burke, on a permanent deal but they were told he was firmly 'off-limits'.

The club are now supposed to be talking to prop, Tom Spencer, who impressed during a dual-registration spell at Leigh last season.

The idea of taking full-back Jack Murphy on a season-long loan has also been floated by Wigan.

I thought it was Chris Tuson who was coming over? Tom Spencer would be a good loan signing. Big, strong forward who looked handy when he was at Leigh.

From what I heard, Rovers are not interested in a loan deal for Spencer. Any deal would have to be permanent.

Murphy on loan for the season would make perfect sense though. Would initially offer perfect cover while Burns serves out his suspension (allowing Hall to move to 6) then provides 'insurance' if Hall isn't able to make the adjustment to full-back, buying Rovers the time to reavaluate recruitment options.

I don't recall NH mentioning 'loan' deals on SportsTalk re a full back, a front row and back row!

1year loan deal for tomkins younger brother

why would we want another hooker with 3 on the books already

Who knows , why would you let all your full backs go ?

cos they thought the grass was greener somewhere else .....

It always is...
