I know it's a post not related to Powell or Mossop. On the topic of Hock at Widnes, say come the end of season a move to Oz isn't on, if he performs at Widnes and bonds well could people see him moving to Widnes full time? If so I know Widnes may struggle to provide a fee for him but is there any players of interest who'd we'd welcome to Wigan as a possible player + £££ swap for Hock? Just an idea! I know this could be used in a deal with other SL clubs aswell! TBH I wouldn't see an issue him playing against us, yes he'll try to perform but I see that as his downfall when he try's to hard to force the offload n the amazing pass.

We saw Forber, Farrimond and Eckersley step up this year (I view Hill as already part of the mix). Who might be added to that next year?

It'll likely just be a continuation of guys who've already made debuts IMO. I think the rest are a little way behind currently, with them being younger and I think it'll then be 2026 when we start to see guys like Hodkinson, Kerr and Mason. You never know I guess but it'll take a bit of an injury crisis to see much of those guys next season.

2025 will be the year for guys like Eseh, Douglas, Farrimond and co to try and kick on.

Cheers Jonh.
You would think if anyone knew him it would be Brad Arthur.
We might have to wait another few years for our rebuild otherwise!

I thinking in year one he probs my will look interested beyond that may be an issue especially if Arthur goes to the new franchise as expected in 2026.

I think you will also be sharing his salary in year 1, think year 2 & 3 you will be carrying the full burden.

He will provide good entertainment I’ve no doubt though so look forward to watching him in SL.

You could say the same about Bevan French! I would have loved to have heard the brief convo between them at the end of the Leeds match.
