That would be an awesome loan signing. When ever I've seen Wigan play he's always been in the thick of it and a noticeable player. Fingers crossed that we pull this off. Goulding was a great loan signing so could he be.

Quote from a good friend of mine (even though he's a Wigan fan!)

"I'd be amazed if the Mossop story was true - he's an integral part of the squad, particularly as he has played as emergency prop as well as second row."

I hope this is true.

I guess it's a move that could help the player gain more SL experience. Wigan may look at it and think Goulding did very well after returning from a loan spell at Salford and it could do the same for Mossop's development.

Now Wigan have Lima back and with Fielden due to return it does give them a lot of options in the forwards. Forgetting Mossop they will still have to leave two very good forwards out of their team. It could be one of those loan deals where they could recall him if they suffered injuries.

... Gareth Hock

Wigans First Choice 2nd Rowers
Hoffman & Hansen

they also have :-Liam Farrell, Tomkins J, Tuson & Mossop, + they have Gareth Hock to come back so Mossop could drop to 7th choice ..

So he's very likely to be wanting 1st team action away from DW

would be a great signing for our pack!!

the way mossop plays reminds of gareth hock!!

btw when is hock back for wigan?

gareth hock due to return to training on 23rd march

I'd be really happy if this is true, he's a really good young player, and would be a great help with us not having Anderson & Bailey fit to play in the second row but I doubt it mind.

However;

June I believe, so they could need room on the salary cap I suppose to make room for Hock (who, despite his problems is a fantastic player!)

BTW where has this story come from?

Would they not have factored Hocks return within their cap limits already? You'd have thought that they would do.

Yeah absolutely that may be the case I was just surmising that it could be one scenario really.

I'm sure they wouldn't be to worried about going over the cap AGAIN!

Fair point fella.

Salary cap.

i think it would be a good move give the lad more experience and from watching the lad he is an agressive forward which is always good

Ah well it was a nice thought while it lasted

fielden is out for 4 months so might put a spanner in the works!

Your 1hr 27 mins late fella

Seriously I'm starting to think my links are too well veiled

Hasn't this rumour done the rounds in the past 2 seasons aswell though? IIRC we were after signing him on a permanent deal when we got Goulding on loan?

Some of us work for a living!

Even if Fielden didnt get hurt they'd be no chance Mossop will be going on loan.

This definitely won't happen.
We'd send our players out on loan because we think they need some first team SL games.
Lee has played every game this season and now with Fielden injured, if he carries on playing well, his place in the team is guaranteed. Also, he'd be a loss to the team if we sent him out imo!

Is the line about Lee Mossop as old as the Scot Naylor story ?
