Maloney on Hughes...
"He's our player, he's one of our captains, he's led us on numerous occasions, so he plays," the former Tigers attacker told
Wigan Today. "His back was fine, he'd trained all week, there's no offer come in that's been accepted, he's still our player.
"The offer's not been accepted, and that's about it really. And in fairness to Charlie, it's not an ideal situation to be in, but it's testament to his attitude and mentality that he's behaving the way he is."
"When Mr Danson (Wigan owner Mike Danson) came in 12 months ago, one of the remits I had - and I know it's not something that will particularly excite the fans - is trying to make this club as self-sustainable as possible. At some point, some of our best young players, some of the talent we have signed, will have to move on and will beat us to the Championship.
"Of course, I'm desperate not to lose our best players, but there also has to be a realisation that we can be extremely proud if that did happen, because that's come as a result of all the work we are doing. I just hope it's not this window."
