He's been awesome at Leigh whislt on Duel reg from Wigan according to Leigh fans.

Scott Has played well in all the games he's played for us this year, we have a policy at Wigan to not 'over play' our young players, rotating players in and out. You'll see the likes of Sam Powell, Logan Tomkins, Dom Crosby, Jack Hughes, Anthony Gelling [When Fit, Gil Dudson, Tom Spencer, George Williams [And anyone else i'm missing drift in and out of the squad with regularity. I wouldn't be surprised to see Scott back in the team for the Match against Wakefield, by all accounts, he played a stormer at Leigh at the weekend.

He had played in 4 of the previous 7 games before this weekend, so he's getting plenty of game time. I think with Lauaki coming back into the squad after about 16 or so games out has had a little to do with him not playing over the last couple of weeks, he's been in good form too.

If this policy is in place, are the likes of tomkins & charnley exempt from it?

Wigan are well stocked with props,they're not well stocked with Charnley's or Tomkins', but you knew that you big dafty cake.

So it's not wigans policy then is it, they have other wingers an fullbacks, they just don't get a look in. What was the name of the fb hull loaned of them again?

That would be Russell. I'm sure I read somewhere that he was apparently going to try his hand in Oz (but I could be mistaken).

Matty Russell, he's in Australia. Lauaki needs game time (he's played very well since he came back from injury) but he can't play on a dual registration. Taylor is second behind Ben Flower in number of games played by the Wigan props this season. wigan.rlfans.com/readarticle.php?article_id=1818

I thought Lauaki was really good on Sunday night.

Bit strange that you'd pay a fee for a player and then send him to Leigh, but when there's Mossop, Prescott, Lauaki, Flower, Dudson, Crosby and Taylor I guess you can rotate them a little bit and keep players fresh for the business end.

Russell, what you chatting?

Tomkins and Charnley are both established first team players, with over 100 apps a piece [150 in Tomkins' case Now should there be a dip in for for either player, they may very well see their spot go to a young player waiting in the wings.

The players I mentioned have less than 30 apps each. With the exception of Jack Hughes, who has been an ever present for us this year, apart from this weekend.

We have a squad that is, as is quite large, able to sustain to rotating of younger/inexperienced players.

You can also factor in Iain Thornley who has played every game this year - mostly due to the fact he has come on leaps and bounds, and partly because we aren't blessed with an abundance of quality centres [Same across the entire league really.

Edit he hardly deserves to be dropped, just to bring in a young lad who may not be actually ready for the step up just for him to 'get a sniff in' as you put it.

How does the club fit everyone on the salary cap

Ginge - that's naughty!!

Taylor is a big head, been sent to Leigh to learn some humility. No doubt he has talent and will be a future star for Wigan, but he has a lot to learn about fitting in with your team mates.

I've only asked wat every single person is SL is thinking....... Haven't I

So wat ur saying is all is not well at Wigan

I'm pleased to finally understand the mechanics of the dual reg process. It's basically a head shrinking exercise.

Warrington use it as it's supposed to be used giving young players like Morley Briers and wood a run out

I saw a suggestion, from a Warrington fan, that as one of the two clubs that backed the RFL-recommended under 23s system (the other was Saints, iirc), that they're happy to take the pee out of it a bit.

Because players play for less money to have more chance of winning trophys just like at leeds n wire

Correct. See Gareth Ellis for further details.

Edited for you Stan

Now u know that's simply not true so stop fibbing

Was speaking to a couple of the young Hull KR players last week and they said that Scott Taylor is really struggling to fit into the heavily professional atmosphere at Wigan. What that says about him / Hull KR is a different question but I know he's struggling.

With regards to him being on duel reg, Wigan were aware that Mossop is off to the NRL when they signed him, and told him that he won't play too much this year with the aim for him to be the main man next year. By all accounts his time will come if he sticks with it.

As for Lauaki playing ahead of him, I accept that on the face of it, it seems odd but Lauaki has been superb since his return from injury so deserves to play.End of

When the majority of your team comes through your academy it tends to be cheaper than signing big named player from aus, leeds worked that out a long time ago and wigan have caught up since the new chairman arrived. Plus on top of that we have salary cap exemptions like all teams are viable for but most aren't in the position to take advantage of them.

Morgan seemingly created a good spirit in the camp, but there were hints and rumours about us not being ultra-professional. Discipline was mentioned as being something we wanted to improve when we were looking for his replacement, iirc.
