It was on the sky coverage mate, when Pyke and Wilkin interviewed Peet.
He credited the club for recruiting Jack and tidying him down to a long term contract which will be at least 6 years.
If you go on Wigan TV and watch the full game, fast forward to the end you can watch it |

Interesting one on wages. The NRL is very transparent about wages.
Michael Chammas is reporting Kai Pearce Paul is on 775k aus next year.
That’s about £400k.
I’m a massive KPP fan but can’t believe he’d command such a high salary.
Only French, Williams or maybe Welsby would be up in anywhere near that in SL.
Shows the task we are up against keeping players.

That must be renegotiated? I can’t believe he would be on this without as when he signed he was very much a prospect who had played a lot of his rugby out of position at centre, he had his best spell for us after signing the deal. That sort of money is pretty high for a second rower in the NRL, although from what I have seen KPP has done very well over in Oz and I have seen Knights fans saying he’s been their best forward this season. |

I agree and that the salaries offered to entice players over to the NRL are excessive, and even though KPP is a very talented young kid then £400K per season is a ridiculous amount of money.
It will be interesting to see if it is money well spent by the Knights or if he eventually gets cut down the line to free up salary cap space |

Converting KPPs salary to GBP is irrelevant as their salary cap is miles higher so its no comparison.
His reported salary next year is about 8% of the salary cap. Equivalent % in England would be £168k per year which doesn't sound out of the question if he is one of your best players? £168K would probably put him in the top 3-5 earners at a club like Wigan, Saints, Warrington I would guess?

Wonder which academy players will join the first team squad next year ?
Junior and Hill will replace Cooper and Isa but who will replace them?
Kian McDermott, Lukas Mason and Taylor Kerr all seem to England academy regulars. A proper, a backrower and a loose forward.
Wonder if they are seen as big prospects?
I remember Nathan Lowe a winger/centre joined the first team in preseaon whilst Marshall was away.

Not seen much of McDermott but in the bits I've seen of the other two, I've always been hugely impressed with Kerr. He looks a real talent, with good hands and will be a good size once he fills out. I've never seen much in Mason to think he'll go on and become a top player but he might've just had quiet games in the ones I've seen. The other who always impressed me is Tom Ratchford, a young hooker. He will have a lot of players to get past at Wigan in the next few years mind. |

Ratchford was the best Wigan player by far in the Academy play off semi last season and always impresses me, what’s his contract situation at the club? |

Ratchford is likely to play on Friday.

Rightfully so as well. This is why we have reserve/junior sides. We need a hooker so play 1
Shifting players and playing a non hooker there would weaken us much more IMO |

My worry was how ready he would be for the step up, especially stepping up into a game like a derby game vs. Saints in front for a 20k+ crowd.
But if Peet believes that he is ready then i trust his judgement 100%, i think he has probably earned that  |
