I know it has been rumoured for ages about the young Wigan prop Tom Spencer joining Leigh on DC, but read today that he is set to join Leigh Centurions, in an article published this morning. Looks like the move must now be imminent. Perhaps before the Sheffield game due to Bibey's injury against Barrow.

Just read that he has now actually signed. Welcome to Leigh Tom. Hope you settle in well here.

Now on Wigan Warriors official site too with a bit more detail about the arrangement. Good news!

If you thought Chris Hill was a good prop then you will be more than impressed with Spencer.

Good signing and with Bibey and Ostick both injured he will surely get an extended run in the side to show what he can do. Welcome to Leigh Tom! How do you think the injuries/new signings will affect our line up? For our pack on sunday i'd go with:

Gallagher
Beswick
Parker
Goulden
Briscoe
Hopkins

with Worrincy, Spencer, Nicholson and Brierly on the bench.

If Taylor is back fit then i'd put him in as a straight swap for Briscoe, but only if he's 100% fit.

I understand we are also after the Pie winger Ryan King on DC.

I shall ask Paul Rowley at tonights LISA meeting.

We were/are after Ryan I believe, but think he got injured in a friendly game up at Barrow.

It as been confirmed on the Wigan club site that Tom Spencer will join Leigh on a dual Reg. See link below,look after him lads as big things are expected from him in years to come. Also with the way you have started the season he should pick up some valuable experience. www.wiganwarriors.com/WContent.a ... 824&type=1

I have just noticed that this info as allready been posted under Wigan Today by "under the sticks", sorry for doubling up.
I am allways late with any news.

Don't worry about it Brian, your an adopted Leyther now.

Brian how do you rate Ryan King ?

Tom looked impressive in the recent Leigh v Wigan match and if he is anywhere near as good as Chris Hill for us, I will be delighted. Obviously needed to bring him in after Bibey's unfortunate injury. Anyone know the latest on Ricky's injury? Cannot wait to see him back on the field . Has made a cracking start in 2012. Know the initial thinking was 6 to 8 weeks out with a groin tear. Has this been confirmed do we know?

Will Tom play on sunday?

Highly likely although I am sure the question will be answered tonight at the LISA meeting.

Watched the Leeds game but don't remember him. Anyone know where I can see the highlights.

I'm also a Brian, so I'll answer.


He's very, very quick, and much stronger than he looks. A year at Leigh on dual reg would be good business for both parties. I think he's still only 18 or 19 years of age.

No the injury has not been confirmed through official channels at this moment.

112 year old prop

Well he must have quite some experience



Welcome to the family Tom Spencer

Really impressed with Spencer in pre season and in his short stint on Saturday. He looks to have jumped ahead of Dudson in the pecking order and rightfully so on performance alone.

The lads 20-21, huge, broke the Wigan bench press record in pre season and smashed Eorl Crabtree with a beauty of a tackle in our friendly with Huddersfield. He looks to have all the ingredients to become top class and this stint will really push him on.

Going off our game he'll be playing in a very handy team. Good luck for the season.

Hopefully this wont be the last Wiganer in our team this season ,i was told a few weeks ago about possible players being offered to us , Ryan King ,Carberry , and Jack Hughes were all mentioned , but with Carmonts injury we may have to wait on Hughes .

I think hughes would set this comp alight.

Steady on a bit Ian,I have a reputation has one of those Wigginers to keep up.

Salfordleyther asking about Ryan King. Very quick.not all that tall but very well built.

Rowley stated at the LISA meeting that Bibey will just be missing 1 week, and also that Jimmy Taylor is fit for this weekend.
