i think it will be a good move for him. He may get 1 or 2 games at best this season, so at least he'll get some game time at Leigh. If he performs owt like, he may get a gig at a bigger SL club again, but i'm of the same opinion that i dont think he's top of SL club standard from what i've seen so far

Looks like Toby Brannan has joined Ben O’Keefe at Rochdale on a permanent deal. Guys like Halsall, Bibby, Hanley, Nicholson and McDonnell already gone as well. There definitely looks to be a change in tact in terms of carrying a deep squad.

The reserve team from last year has been broken up to a degree, with us seemingly picking out who they consider the better ones (Hill, Nsemba, Forber, Astley and Eckersley) and pumping more money in to having a stronger top 17-20. Happy enough if they want to do that but if we keep losing English players like Bateman and KPP, it’s going to be tough to keep juggling things like the overseas quota and how you dip the younger players in.

Brannon was shaping up as a good prospect - thats a shame but we have several others (still) on the prop forward fringes.

Hanley, best he moves on as his opportunities will be limited next season.

Remember when I told you all neither Thompson nor Pryce will be at Wigan next season? And I was right? Here’s another. Bateman will be at Wigan next season.

Gasp!

Tell us a rumour that's not already doing the rounds of all the Wigan pubs.
