Hey, with my post code i've got a chance of a month too!!!

This second loan has really sickened me, my club is now officially second rate, in the same group as salford and quins. All heading in the same direction.

P**s up and brewery spring to mind

You mean that our players are having a p**s up in a brewery and thats why we're signing all these loan players?

I think some fans are taking this the wrong way. Although I do understand the point about your own youngsters, you have injuries to cover and are trying to stay competative. Your club is doing no more or less than Leeds are attempting to do (with somewhat less success I might add!). These are short term loans and, when you get your own players back on board, most will be unloaded. I can tell you from experience that it's the best way to go. During a similar injury crisis under Millward Wigan decided to sign players/blood youngsters not neccessarily ready for Superleague instead of loaning (although to be fair we did try that avenue) and it resulted in the infamous 60+ and 70+ to nil thrashings! Worth keeping in mind.....

If you need a half back you could always ask Wigan for Joe Mellor he is a very good young player

Apart from coming on as a sub against us on Sunday this lad 's last/only other first team run out was as a sub in July 2008 (according to his stats on the Goon's site).

Is he really that much better than some of our youngter's to go straight into our first team?

Tuson is a very good SR forward he is way to good for the Under 20s i am sure you will see how good he is in the next few games

It's a sad state of affairs that we're developing talent from other clubs whilst living in arguably the most productive RL area in the country...

Would have to agree,and when we do have them we let them go (Watts and Gledhill).

And people wonder why some fans are feeling negative,there are people at the club who dont know what they are doing

Re: Second Wigan loanee : Wed Mar 24, 2010 10:28 pm  

I furious about this. I can see why we got Ainscough, he is a rare talent. But we have as good as this kid at our club.

Imagine what the mood is in the youth set up? "This bloke isnt interested in us" will be the theme. I know it will cos Ive coached Academy and know how they see things. A surefire way to crush work that takes years to build up.

Im a TM fan and I know many are not, but on this decision Im very much wondering

Re: Second Wigan loanee : Wed Mar 24, 2010 10:42 pm  

I think the thing to remember here is, TM wanted him a few week ago, when injuries were mounting up. I have no problem having this kid for a month, see how he goes, adds competition the the squad & depth. And he's probably better then most of our U20's.
