I don't think so.
Gareth had fallen behind Josh Charnley in the pecking order. I hope he does well at Leigh, but in all honesty I don't ever see him being a Superleague standard player.

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row

Fair assesment as many players actually already in super league are not super league standard. I would love to see any player leaving Wigan make it at a smaller club. I have a feeling more and more players coming through our set up will be up to standard though.

Harsh but ultimately fair assessment. Good luck to him at Leigh.

I can't remember the exact statistic (oh yes, more statistics ), I think its something like for every 10 players, only one will make it into the first team for SL clubs?
As I said, I'm not quite sure on the legitimacy of that statistic, but it goes to show, to make it at Wigan (and other SL clubs for that matter), you need to be an excellent prospect.
Anyone know how Nicky Stanton is going on? Looked a promising player - useful goal kicker - but struggled to make it with Mark Calderwood, Liam Colbon, Pat Richards and then Cameron Phelps in the side.

I believe he had a bit of a fall out with Shaun Wane (not advisable) and finished up at Leigh. Didn't he get injured whilst playing for Leigh in one of their televised games?
