[quote="NSW":2e9rhacc]I find it so strange Chan and Eseh seem so far down the pecking order. Chan played a decent amount of games for Catalan who finished joint top and made the GF in 23 Eseh impressed for Wakefield and we had to beat other clubs for his sighing. After 2 Wigan off seasons I was hopeful they’d have improved and would challenge for bench spots this year. Chan signed a 3 year deal so will be with us next year “ n signing Chan, Wigan coach Matt Peet said: “Tiaki is a dynamic young forward who we feel will go on to be loved by his team-mates and the Wigan supporters.” Chan turns 25 in June. Eseh signed for 2 years with a 1 year option so he could be gone after this season. Anyone got any insight into what’s gone on? Or am I reading too much into them not playing big minutes against Oldham and not being picked for Leeds?[/quote:2e9rhacc] Just seems like they're not impressing on the training pitch. It was always going to be tough for them to break into the 17 but not getting names in a friendly squad is strange (unless they both happen to be injured).

Was weird in the Oldham game Chan was on with around 20minutes to go, he was back on the bench 5minutes later and came back on for last 6 minutes. I did think it must be something that he’s doing that the coaches want to change? Thought Sam was decent enough in his spell.

Been confirmed by Lockers Chan just wasn’t picked.

Havard and Miski fine for R1 also but no word on Eseh from what I've seen.

Him picking up an injury could scupper that. Possibly same with Esseh.
