It seems once again, our club has snapped up one of your youngsters on a DR.

How do you guys rate this lad?

Touted as a big half-back talent but suffered a bad injury early last year which set him back. Just spent time on loan down at Quins but didn't get any game time due to Gale and Dorn playing so well. Should do very well for you. Too good to play 20's any more

He has joined Logan Tomkins and Dom Crosby at Widnes on Dual-Reg. Should make nice tv viewing when Widnes v Toulouse is on Sky a week Thursday.

Highly. Scored one of the best individual trys ive seen in the 20s grand final a couple of years back. Not much of him but he has pace to burn! Reminds me of Sam Tomkins in some ways. Had a bad knee injury which kept him out of contention last year but is going to be a good player and can see him figuring alot when deacon hangs up his boots.

they might as well be called wigan reserves

Is that a bad thing? They get some quality youngsters to help them in the league, our lads get some vital first team experience. I applaud our link up with Widnes & Barrow.

no, i just think it is amusing.
its a great idea,, really has benefited us in the past

Just a shame though, he would have probably got a game last season if it wasn't for his injury, it has held him back quite a bit.

He looked unbeliebable against Leeds reserves away.

It's beneficial to both parties. Our youngsters get play at a level above the U20's and Widnes get to use some talented and enthusiastic players who are keen to make an impression and show what they can do

To be honest im not particularly in favour of bringing them in but I think the club are just using them to paper over cracks and tie us over until the end of the year.

That's it. Win win situation for both clubs.

Spot on, I think. Understandably, this year's performances shouldn't bother you too much, all the emphasis should be towards building for next year. Looking forward to having you back where you belong!

Not done them any good ,look at the league positions of Barrow andWidnes

then look at where Leigh are ,not lost a game this season , no WIGANERS ,but acouple of Wire Duels ,i think theres a message there.

Going to be a huge success. Tommy's successor?

Sometimes inbreeding produces good genetic freaks?

they have only just gone to these clubs brains

so we ll see in a few week if they improve or not

To be fair, we shouldn't expect three Wigan U20's players to make a huge difference to an NL1 squad, as they are playing up a level anyway.
And allied to the fact the only Widnes player who's got an SL contract next year is Ben Kavanagh (Wigan Academy) it shows Widnes are taking advantage of taking time to get the right players in for next year.
They don't have to get to a final, so they are probably just laying the foundations for SL.

So you lot keep telling EVERYONE! Shame Leigh were garbage the 3 years it mattered heh

how did you gain promotion from league 1 again?

Out of interest Mellor doesn't kick goals does he?
