That may be the case with loan deals Barrow have signed, but to say it's the case with all deals is incorrect. Ste Tyrer has been on loan at Celtic from us and has only played 1 game.

Hasn't tyrer gone to widnes now?

What did you think of him whilst he was down at your place? We all know he can play well in the reserves but how did he do at that higher level?

Sorry maybe if I put...

anuva youngsta beein ship'd owt for an overpayd aussie.

Then you may of got my sarcasm

Fair enough. Do apologise.

i would apologise, but i was tentative in my dismissal of your sarcasm. Coz i was stupidly tired and couldnt honestly tell one way of the other!

Back to the topic though, good move for mossop and wigan. I don't think we'd have taken him away from first team action at barrow if we didnt have assurances that he was going to play regular first team stuff. We aint that stupid

Im glad he has gone out on loan to a SL club, but I hope that he gets some first team action as its a wasted move if he just ends up playing in their reserves, because he could do this here.

He is a great prospect and a player that has a really exciting future. We wouldnt be stupid enough to let him go permanently.

Maybe that a clause Wigan put in their loan contracts.

It's defo not a rule regarding every loan deal as you point out with Ste Tyrer.

Why are we sending players out on loan to clubs who are higher up the league than us?

Our league postition tells me that the players Huddersfield have are already superior to what we have, so surely the lad should be in our 17 each week?

Ahead of who?

Take your pick from 1-17

Maybe they want a merger through the back door and as soon as they get a full 19 from Wigan they can call themselves Wiganfield

And replace who?

You could argue Bailey, but Hansen and Joel might have something to say about that.

It's not as simple as you suggest. We have a wealth of backrowers. Even Hansen and Joel are not guaranteed first team action each week, and that's good because it's a sign that we have a competitive squad. Pitch Mossop in there as well and maybe you're asking too much of him.

If Huddersfield think they can accommodate him more readily, all well and good. Just because they're higher up the league, it's not a given that their 11-13 are better than ours. In fact, I'd argue that they aren't. I'd argue there are few back rows in the comp as good as ours (or at least with as many decent players vying for three positions).

That may be correct now but people might have to take notice of the Giants in 2010 with Fa'alogo, Hock and Wild in the back three

Keep trying. No doubt you'll get a bite at some point.

*chomp*

None of our back rowers have direct shooting places IMO for the starter positions. This includes Hock who is more of an impact player.

Some clubs have hardly any quality younger players, like Huddersfield.
Wigan have an abundance.
Mossop is clearly being trained up to first team standard, the fact that he's on loan for a period to help with his training is excellent.
Noble would send out more than Mossop if he could find takers.
Trouble is most clubs are now, mid season, up to their SC limit or what they can afford.

According to teletext he is set to make his debut against Wakefield this weekend

What a load of bollox

Why?

Bar Lawrence and to a degree Cudjoe who've you produced in the last 10 years? even those 2 are far from the finished article.

Go research it, i'll start you off

Gleeson

Keep going

World Class players like Crabtree

I'll help out too Tom Hemingway is another local fella



Anyway on topic, great move for Mossop, hope he gets a really good run in the first team, be of great benefit to him

With a production line like that the Aussies are going to be shi*ting themselves



Gleeson would seem the only international to come through at Huddersfield in the last god who's how long and even he isn't from the area and wa signed as a 17-18 year old kids after getting all his rugby upbringing in Australia.
