A bit early but bored because this is the absolute worst part of the off season, six weeks to go and it seems forever away
With playing Penrith just after we do need to go full strength. Would like to see junior get a game in the first 4

He’s out isn’t he first few weeks of season?
In my opinion we absolutely must go full strength and all out in the first have to get some competitive miles on the clock.

| Quote: Phuzzy "Nothing more than a gut instinct but I think Eseh could be the breakout player too Jonh. Looks really settled here as well. Had a few words at the night under the lights event and him and Chan stood out as having really integrated into the squad. They both seemed like they'd 'come home' if you get what I mean. Leeming too from the socials although he wasn't at the event as he was ill. Looks to be a really good intake of signings this year with everyone contributing and buying into the club and it's approach.'"
Can see Eseh and Chan becoming fan favourites.
Chan seems a right character from what I’ve seen on socials.
I think Esehs will be targeting 12/15 Wigan games with his big breakout being in 2025. Still a baby for a prop and will take a year to learn the Wigan way.
Roll on the preseaon games!

I’m the same mate, so ready for the season to get going now.
Isa a good chance of a bench spot in the team IMO, bit of versatility if an outside back or second rower gets a knock.

Yes, Junior is only due back at the wend of April. No need to rush him, it is a long season.

| Noticed a picture of Havard from today and he looks to have filled out a bit too.
Looks like our performance and strength and conditioning departments have been very busy pulling this pre season together.
Nice article on Chan today too, living with Dupree and sounds like there is a real good core of lads that are around the same age that have all become very close away from the pitch.
He mentions he sees himself as a middle predominantly and that is where he wants to play, however also says he has been training as an edge forward too.

I’m glad he’s training as an edge. Last year we had Smithies who was a middle but could comfortably play on the edge. Shorrocks too.
With Nsemba injured we are down to 3 with Isa Farrell and Walters.
Can’t really see Eseh, Byrne, Cooper, Ellis, Dupree, Mago or Thompson playing on an edge. Maybe Havard at a push.
If Chan could slot in there at an emergency that would be helpful.

The team for the start of the year isn't that hard to predict really - we may have a lot of depth but the first choice players are pretty clear. With the Havard and Nsemba injuries there are essentially 18 players to choose from. I think Isa will play against Penrith - if so it will be one of Cooper, Byrne or Mago to miss out.

My god, we have built a serious team for this year haven' t we? Insane when you see it written down.
Majority of teams in SL would kill to have that whole bench in their starting pack.

Dan was right in 2022 when he said what he said about 2023 and 2024

My thoughts as well. I’m not sure if Isa will start games or come from the bench early in the season but I’m pretty sure he’ll be involved. I think Peet will want that Wigan experience he brings, especially with so many new forwards likely to be in the team.
My guess to miss out would be Cooper. He has produced miracles by the sounds of it to be on track to be available for the start of the season but it’s a massive ask to be ready for a WCC after that injury and in the back of possible minutes in a friendly and at Cas.

Isa also brings flexibility to the squad, covering back row and centre. I think the bench across the year will tend to be two front rowers, a back row and a hooker. When Nsemba is fit he needs to be prioritised for the bench back row spot.
I think Cooper's a wait and see scenario - as you say sounds like his rehab has gone well but the friendlies will tell us where he's at.

| Burgess to HKR after being sacked by Salford.
That home grown left edge of Williams, Farrell, Gildart and Burgess.
The young 3 should have followed Farrell’s example and had a long successful career.
Now they are floating round at mid table clubs they have no connect to whereas Faz is winning trophy after trophy with his home town team.
Lesson to the younger lads.

I get the point but not sure about Williams in that equation. Whilst I’d loved to keep him at Wigan he went well in the NRL and is the current captain of England.
