Problem with Hampshire he had people close to him whispering bad advice into his ears too much. Look where it got him.

Player of the year Jai Field

Breakthrough player KKP (start right second row every week and make the dream team)

Scape goat - Cust/Ellis/Mago

Nsemba will not be your breakthrough player.

He really isn’t that good. Delaney has absolutely mullered him everytime they have played and Delaney is no where near the saints first team

You're right . Just like you were with Bateman not leaving and Wardle not signing.

My thoughts on Rocky are Wigan was not a good move for him under Wane.

They Wane style of coaching was very structured and robotic, Rocky was a natural eyes up play what is in front of you player and that didn’t fit into the Wigan system. I think it would be a different story under Peet.

In regards the original question

Player of season - Field
Breakthrough -as others have said kind of needs to be Nsemba
Scapegoat - Powell

Interesting, Delaney is a prop, Nsemba is a 2nd row!
Harvey Hill got the better of Delaney in the Wigan v Saints games last season.

I do think Delaney looks a good prospect though.

Brian, what's your thoughts on Ramon Silva? Been with the club coming up to two years I think, obviously a young project signing from London. I've seen next to nothing on himas yet, good enough to break through?

Re. Catalans, just read their council has shut two of their stands, assuming safety issues, not a great start on top of the fine they picked up last week for crowd trouble

Player of the season- Marshall
Breakthrough- Nsemba
Scapegoat-Powell

Brian will have seen more of him than I have but I personally don’t see him having a future long term at Wigan.

He’s done a year at Wigan, 2023 will be his second.

I’m with Jonh, seems extremely raw.

Will be interesting to see him in preseason , he had a few injuries last year.

How do we all feel we’ll go with Tommy replacing Briers. He’s got the experience on the field and has done his stint with New Zealand. Not sure what stamp he can put on the team creative wise that he hasn’t as a player
