And the day just keeps on getting better.

Just had a text from a mate stating the same, couldn't be timed better after today's performance

Fantastic news. Was my MOM today

A huge retention that. I know Ellis had a brain fade today but if him and Havard are here for the next few years, we’ll be better for it. Two big, athletic bodies, we can hopefully build around.

Buzzing with this

Great news!

just watched the ,got back from holiday.
Great news re-Havard my mom today so much class from a young fella.

I felt he was very Fieldenesc today.

At 22 and with no doubt a few options this is a fantastic coup for the club.

His physique is so similar to Fielden. It’s very rare you get a prop who is not just big but an absolute athlete. The lad looks like he could play all day.

I was going to start a Havard thread anyway even before the new deal.

One of the best prop forward performances for Wigan I can remember. The amount of minutes he played especially after 5 weeks out.

He matched and surpassed Vaughan easily.

I’d mentioned we’d really missed him as he’d be papering over the cracks but today really proved that.

Absolutely buzzing to have him at Wigan for the next 4 years and hopefully beyond.

Ah, right, Fielden. I was wondering who the hell this Romanian bloke I'd never heard of was!

And get him the right support and he and us will kick on. Still pretty gutting that Cooper is out for the season because him, Havard, Ellis and Byrne is a fine 4 prop rotation. We need to make sure we have a stronger 4/5 prop rotation going in to 2023. Hopefully Cooper will get back from the injury but we can’t rely on that and need to make sure we recruit well in that area.

Shame we won’t get the stats on the SL website for this game. He’ll be off the charts.

Add one more really good prop to Havard, Byrne, Ellis and Cooper(if he gets fit ideally) with Hill coming through I think we will be fine. Especially with Smithies and Walters(if we have signed him I think it will be for second row mainly) can also cover that middle if needed. I think it showed how much we missed Havard today he was fantastic, I said to my daughter at the game it's not Bevan or Jai eye-catching stuff that Ethan does but it's his graft that allows others to shine Byrne played miles better today by his side same with Smithnies. MoM for me today and topped off by the news of the new contract. O' Neil was also very good .... well they all was!

I do think that the very least he deserves is that we all make a big effort to spell his name right!
