New Prop

Got a hot rumour from a source inside the club, or just something you heard down the pub? Then what are you waiting for, post it on The Rumour Mill.

Alex Walmesley
Spent force
I thought the discussion was about getting props from the championship? Walmesley was one, whether he's now a spent force or not. I wish we'd have had him for the past 6 or 7 years.

Chris Hill also started at Leigh, I believe, and is still a good un.
My mistake

Simple as that?
Of course. Surely you can tell the difference between amateur players to lower league(L1). To Championship. Then a huge difference up to Super League. Talented kids will stand out.
I have supported Wigan RL since the late 80s. First game was a cup tie v Barrow. Also a fan of football and Speedway. Have a varied taste in music.

Why are you not working as a scout then?

I think props are the most likely player to be found at lower levels and end up outstanding at higher levels. The development of a prop is not necessarily as quick as an outside back, they often mature into the role their mid twenties, sometimes even having moved positions as their bodies develop. So I'd say you can find a good prop or two in the lower divisions if you keep your eye out.

Havard, not picked up at scholarship level, now probably the best young prop in Superleague. Sadly I think he's destined for NRL.

I'd be amazed if he doesn't end up there

Total speculation on my part however I believe Tanginoa is being used as a swap deal for a middle forward by Wakefield.

Trinity were keen on Mago.

We need a secondrow.

Possibility it could be us in the mix.

Wire known admirers of Tanginoa too.

As I said total speculation.
