Interesting 3rd paragraph down.

Hmmmm....and who was it saying we wouldn't be Wigan's reserve team?

He's too old to fit into our classification of a D/C player, as per our agreement with the other Championship clubs, and per our agreement with Wigan.

The linked article is on the SUPER LEAGUE website - and what do they know about it?

Proves beyond doubt that we are now one of Wigan's official feeder teams. It sickens me!

Joe how are we Wigans reserve or feeder team ?We have only 1 Wigan player at Leigh Tom Spencer and he is on loan ive been told we have no plans to bring in any more Wigan players on loan or on DC at the moment , lets put this owd chestnut to bed , and stop dredging up this Topic .Talk about regurgitation , this beats it all .

What a load of b****x - if Powell starts his rugby league career with us I will donate £1000 to LISA

Well said Pat .

If Wigan want to sign players of this ilk they should be teaching him how to play League ,(oh sorry forgot they`ve no second teams now `cos they can`t afford to run one due to the fact they prefer to sign over the hill Onion players than bring youth through)
Not a very helpful statment either, how does he know the coach of Leigh or South Wales would consider him good enough for their team, patronising beyond belief.

You might do better to buy him a golf car

There is nothing in the statement saying they would like to use Leigh or the Sorpions,its whoever wrote the articale is suggesting that.

The statement is patronising whoever made it .

Of course it is.

This lad will certainly never wear a Leigh shirt and I will bet money on that.

Anyone in doubt let me know how much you would like to put on it.

I am easy to find if you go to a Leigh game.

Just look for that Silly red hat , or the guy on his own Frankie -no - mates

he can send you to sleep quicker than Complan .

Like Alan said "he's too old" if the agreement is 'set in stone' that is.
South Wales Scorps can 'ave him for a bit.

In relation to this bit (about the 31 year old new recruit for Wigan) that he "is likely to start his career in the 13-man game with either Leigh or the Scorpions, Wigan's two partnership clubs".......

It does seem unfortunate that the official SL websites journalist isn't seemingly fully upto date on the press release (I presume) Wigan did when announcing a 'partnership' with Leigh a month or so ago ?
The other thing is surely when speaking to Wigan head coach Shaun Wane the question will have been asked what was happening with Powell ?
Seems strange Wane didn't say 'he's staying at Wigan' or 'he's going on DR with South Wales'.

I refer you to my earlier post. He's too old to fit our D/C criteria; Wigan haven't said they want him to come to Leigh, nor will they - our agreement is specific on age requirements.

Alan, the fact that he is too old for DC will not make the slightest bit of difference to those that still feel the need to have a go at the earliest opportunity ! They don't want to know the facts or wait and see where he ends up before they have a go .

He showed up really well at training with our lads last night should be interesting to see him on Sunday

I'd have him, he's quality

Joking aside, I would look at a season loan here as he could make an impact back end once he gets his positioning sorted, which I believe Wigan would achieve within a month

Kris Radlinski told you didn't he :O) haha

Two debutantes V Batley one a winger from our 20's Hill, the other a Welsh International on dual contract from Wigan his name ...... Come tomorrow and find out

.

Well, that'll be Lloyd, if it was Powell, they would be shouting it from the rooftops!

Great then, we get yet another player who's about as far down the pies pecking order as you can get!

The player was chosen by Paul Rowley from five that were offered, but lets not let that get in the way of a good moan shall we.

This has just reminded me why I've not posted on here much negatives rule.

Bye Bye

I understand the Welsh player on loan from Wigan is Rhodri Lloyd
