Get Stanton back technically?

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

Leigh fans will try anything to cause trouble between us and them.

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.
