Let battle commence

"How many props do you want in the squad next year Matt?"
"Yes."

This is a very good signing. Thought it would be a longer deal though as I expect him to be signed with a view to 2025 on.

Isn't this getting a little bizarre?

It’s a 2 and 1 year option, so 3 years if we want it I presume. I wasn’t hugely impressed when I’ve watched him previously but those viewings have been very few and far between and I look forward to seeing how he develops.

I don’t think we’ll be complaining about a lack of size anytime soon!!

I’m made up with it.
He really put himself about against us at home this season. Rattled Isa if I recall correctly.

Trust me the lad can play. He has bags of potential but he is very raw.

He will really come on at Wigan.

His offload is a very good weapon.

He is the style of player we hoped Kabula could have been had he more athleticism.

The year in our favour makes sense

Of all the signings announced this is the one I think that could be the best in the long run.
Big, very aggressive and I’m sure Jonh is correct on his other attributes.
Made my day this announcement.

Absolutely buzzing with this one, called for it in the rumours and signings thread about 6 months back.

Was gutted when it was heavily rumoured saints have signed him, but could understand given our other props.

He’s raw but being in our environment will improve him.

I know he's 6' 4" but does anyone know his weight? Can't find it anywhere.

100kg I believe

Redvee is In meltdown. It is better than reading the Beano. Saints offered more money so I can only assume that the lure of Wigan is much greater.

I'd have thought he was bigger than that.

Maybe we’ll let them loan him. They only have 3 specialist prop forwards available to start 2024 as things stand, so in an emergency we could maybe help out.

That's Thompson, Dupree, Ellis, Byrne, Havard, Cooper, Mago, Hill, Chan and now Eseh. If Owen Farrell comes in as rumoured then there's no space for one of the props to transition to 13. I'm sure players will go out on loan but it sounds like a huge number of players to accommodate going forwards (both on the field and on the salary cap).
