I hear rumours he is coming to you on loan?

He has been at barrow raiders for a month on loan and has been awesome in every department and he is only 20 yrs old.
Just wondering if anybody can enlighten me???

fom a Wigan fans piont of view this lad has huge potential. He is being kept out of our team by the likes of J Tompkins G Hock P Baily etc.

He will be first team material next season IMO

North West Evening Mail BARROW Raiders have a fight on their hands to keep hold of rising star Lee Mossop. The 20-year-old pack man is currently on loan at Craven Park from Super League Wigan Warriors, but his initial one-month spell is coming to an end. The initial deal finishes after this weekend but, as Barrow are without a game due to Gateshead’s Challenge Cup commitments, Friday’s 27-6 win at Widnes could turn out to be his last appearance for Raiders. Barrow were given the option to extend the deal for a further two/three months when the Hensingham youngster was signed, but now one of Wigan’s Super League rivals – thought to be Huddersfield Giants – are believed to have expressed an interest in Mossop’s services.

He's a great prospect but will he get in the starting team for you Giants (doubt it ) He will be better staying at Barrow if hes not gunna be in the first team for the giants.

"Even at the age he is at, if you look at the size and the athletic ability he has got, in the not-too-distant future he could well be wearing a Great Britain shirt.”

Thats exciting to hear. BTW Greg McNally looked some player

He's huge for a lad of 20, he was a backrower but Wigan look to be converting him into a prop and is very highly rated.

Theres just not quite a way into the Wigan side at the moment but he'll back with us for 2010.

always abit of a shake up at the end of the season though with players leaving... we could do with getting rid of walsh as i dont rate him at all
