I assume though that any player can only play for one club in the competition each season though, in other words, Holland is now cuptied should Wigan need him later on?

Re: Dual Reg Players : Mon Apr 19, 2010 6:59 pm  

That's the way I read it in League press this am. Wigan asked that Walker doesn't play but that Holland can. MC says that Walker is now available again for Friday against Donny.

Re: Dual Reg Players : Mon Apr 19, 2010 7:11 pm  

That's good news for Friday, although it'd be tough to leave anyone out after that effort on Sunday. Wonder if he might decide to give Anderson, Halliwell, McCully or Hobson a well earned breather?

Strange old feeling to have selection headaches like this for a Blackpool fan

Re: Dual Reg Players : Tue Apr 20, 2010 10:14 pm  

i'd leave mccully or halliwell out. they were relatively poor in what was otherwise a great all round effort i thought

I wouldn't leave McCully out, thought he did a lot of the un-noticed stuff very well.

As I said before though, what a dilemma to have

Re: Dual Reg Players : Wed Apr 21, 2010 11:49 am  

as a wigan fan first and foremost i don't see a dilemma. play the wigan players! ha. blackpool win and they develop. makes simple sense! but seriously, i see how its unfair on the players in the panthers squad.

by the way, walker named in wigan 19 again

Re: Dual Reg Players : Wed Apr 21, 2010 3:31 pm  

So the chances are he won't be with us this week. Maybe not a bad thing in some respects as the same 17 really should play this week if they're all fit.

The next game not being til a week on Monday (at South Wales Scorps) they will then have a little longer than usual to recover.

Re: Dual Reg Players : Thu Apr 22, 2010 4:25 pm  

Josh Charnley has signed a dual registration deal with Blackpool. He is a superb winger / centre from the Wigan academy.

Look after him for us, he is a top prospect and will do very well at that level. He's still only 18 years of age but is big and fast (in the Pat Richards mold)

Re: Dual Reg Players : Thu Apr 22, 2010 4:51 pm  

heard that this was due a few weeks ago, not sure why the delay actually. unless wigan were holding back because of the injury situation. either way, great news all round. lets hope *fingers crossed* injuries clear up at wigan fast and josh plays maximum games at blackpool so he doesn't get called up.

Re: Dual Reg Players : Thu Apr 22, 2010 8:30 pm  

I got told by someone at the club that he was signing this week mainly due to the fact maguire likes what crompton is doing here and wants to keep sending players our way to keep holland company as he takes the others away, obviously feeling that they will get more benefit here, but looking forward to seeing charnley play although not tomorrow as im in wigan, but maybe the leeds game? or the next home game afterwards.
