[quote="Zig":16fihegz]I think it would be sensible to extend AK’s deal. Zac is only in the first year of his four year contract and needs time, and competition, for him to fully develop.[/quote:16fihegz] I wouldn’t be against retaining him for 2026 with Eckersley taking the shirt in 2027.

[quote="jonh":1bvzmg66]Interesting developments in the last few days. Couple of youngsters gone out on loan to London and now Isa going. We look to be going into the season as it stands with only 3 front line secondrow players. 1 of who in Walters has yet to really hit the straps if we are honest. We also now have a quota spot to play with. Potential for mid season signing or maybe sooner. Invariably some quality players become available from the NRL 2/3 months into their season.[/quote:1bvzmg66] Watkins from Salford? He probably will want a 2 year deal which could make it a non starter.

[quote="Itchy Arsenal":wfvmcb9u]Any clues TYG?[/quote:wfvmcb9u] That’s all I’ve got at the minute. I’m not being deliberately vague. Just been told they’re hopeful the quota spot won’t be empty for long.

[quote="The Yellow Giraffe":1hrodry0]Wigan are working on an overseas signing as we speak.[/quote:1hrodry0] If that’s the case this would suggest we have him. I don’t see any other reason for Isa to retire if we hadn’t. No mention of physical issues in his retirement release just opportunities away from the game.
