Lee coming back to Wigan on a 3 year contract. Apparently there's a clause in there to protect the club from re-occurrence of his shoulder injuries too. When he's on top of his game he's a force to be reckoned with. I just hope he plays better than he played in his last year with us.

Interview with Mossop is now on Wigan TV.

you would say that with Larne Patrick and Lee Mossop coming in does it spell the exit of Scott Taylor...?????

Taylor and Dudson to go. Think Patrick and Mossop in for those two is an improvement. Would have liked Taylor to stay but he obviously doesn't want to be here and we did ok without him for half of the season.

He didnt play the end fo the season anyway did he, is assumed he was gone anyway

Flower, Mossop, Patrick, Tautai, Crosby, Pettybourne, Taylor, Dudson, Sutton, Greenwood - that is 10 props

Taylor and Dudson to go, flower out until April, leaves 7, Sutton and Greenwood to go out on loan?

That leaves 5 props available, Mossop, Eddie, Tautai, Patrick and Crosby.

One by one the lambs are returning to the fold. Just waiting for Sam now.

Great news and to be fair, proof that Ian Leneghan has lived up to his word. Hope that Lee is fully fit.

But great to have him back.

I wonder if these players would return if we'd taken a tougher stance on their contracts, and as a result had players on our books not wanting to play, and not received a transfer fee for them. . .

Maybe IL does have a clue. . .

nah

Lenegan Out!

I am sure IL would like you to think that and he is (if you see the press release) trying to make out this is all part of the master plan. Well the only reason Lee is back is it hasn't worked out for him over there, not because IL is some sort of wizard with contracts so I hope this is not about an attempt to justify players being let go but a decision made purely on the availability of a good player.

I am sure had Lee been on the way out of Wigan following his shoulder operations there would be a queue forming to say we were well rid justifying the clubs stance on that (as happens whenever a player seems to leave, even minor injuries are exaggerated to justify the clubs actions). It was probably said when Lee went to Oz in the first place.

If his shoulders are fixed he improves the squad and offsets the loss of Taylor if he goes so its good news overall but his return is more to do with good fortune, not good planning.

their [/interests to do so. Otherwise they won't.
