I remember when Wigan's biggest weakness was their small, ineffective forward pack. Wow, what a pack we have now. Looking back at the Wigan squad over the years, I don't think we've ever been so complete as a team. Dominant forwards, electric backs, an amazing half-back partnership and unbelievable depth in the squad.

Mago continues to surprise me. The potential was always there for everyone to see and full credit to him, he's switched on big time. I believe Mago is our best forward right now, he's powerful with a good step in him and a great short-passing game; could he be our future 13? I think he'll be the cornerstone of our pack in the next few years if he stays (fingers-crossed he does).

Said recently that Mago is like a new signing, mid season last year I would have got rid. It seemed that his effort and attitude into getting into shape becoming of a rugby player as well as his minutes on the pitch were severely lacking in all departments. Rumours were he had been sent away from the squad to train on his own, then following a couple of moderate to better than average performances an announcement of a contract extension was made, much to the dismay of many on here (me included) and around the terraces. Most of us assumed his mild improvement was to gain another contract and he'd slip back into his old ways.

Well he's certainly made us all eat our words, what a stunning turnaround. One of our best players on the field, looks like he's enjoying his rugby too. Fantastic to see.

Staying in England for an extended pre season was a pre condition of the new deal I believe. If he stays longer term hopefully he maintains this level of conditioning.

Agree with all the comments about Mago. He has a good pair of hands and can pick a pass; that is such a bonus in a prop.

Mago joint second in the Man of Steel voting, which is certainly a position I don't think anybody would've expected to see him in 12 months ago, even if it is only 4 games in (Realistically on a points per game ratio he's top given we've played a game less). He's turning in to a huge success story for the culture at Wigan and how it improves people.

Massive praise for the lad atm. I know it will always be in the back of my mind is he playing for the contract but could he say about anyone really. He looks a new player and I’m starting to wonder if the club have decided to slim all our props down to get those extra mins in them. Cas and that last game have been his stand outs. He knocked a few holes in the Penrith defence as well. Hopefully he gets rewarded with an extended contract
