In fairness to Ian Millward :shock:

Jordan James is now playing super league for Celtic Crusaders. At least he is still in super league.

Does Wigan have a scout out at those games ?

Luke Gale isnt really National League 2. He was highly rated at Leeds but was never going to oust the players in his position so Leeds allowed him to go on loan then sign permanent.
