Re: Leigh & Wigan U21's set to merge?

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.

Get Stanton back technically?

I doubt this very much. Danielle's cousin plays for Leigh and he doesnt know anything.

At the moment Wigan and Leigh reserves are not in the best situations, Wigan have lost a few of there reserve players these year and I have heard that Leigh have struggled to recruit players.

I thought we did well at both U18 and U21 level year? I know players move on but this happens every year and this sounds a bit radical when players leaving is to be expected.

IF true what will this mean re: franchise applicactions next time round? surely the RFL would see a merger between two applicants (leigh & wigan) would suggest problems not building a club and community activity etc on their own?

The rumour is growing stronger. Shaun Wane to coach it.

IL penny pinching? Leigh to become a feeder club?

Either way at a time when we need more British youngsters playing professionally it seems a backward step. Unless we are planning to loan out 12 youngsters.
