Went back directly though after being with us IIRC

He went from Wigan to Saints I meant.

Same as Nsembe and Farrimond.

He's going nowhere, the salary cap is not an issue either.

Wigan announced an extension for Nsemba until the end of 2027 a few months back. I fear that will be the latest Wigan will be able to keep hold of him but fingers crossed.

Hope the club stand firm and not accept him going early for a fee.

Another 3 seasons of Nsemba would be great.

He will be a marquee player by then, I think we may see his contract extended.

I as a wire fan am a big fan of Nsemba but I'd just like to ask do you guys rate him higher than KPP?

Personally (and I'm sure others will have different views) I think k Nsemba is way ahead of KPP at this point of their development I.e at their age

I wasnt sure KPP had enough toughness about him up until the last 15 games or so of last year. Up until then he'd done some fancy stuff but his defense and positioning in defence was questionable and I never really saw him dominate

Last 15 games of last year he made me eat my words and I thi k he's made a very good start to his NRL career

Nsemba as of now has had far more impact, and imo has ahd a far better first 12/18 months start to his career.
Obviously there are development areas bit if he can work with the coaches and players over the next 2 years I think there'll be a far better player then KPP was at that 21/22 age and he'll have had far more good/great games for Wigan than KPP had (not bagging KPP as I say as he made me eat my words last year and he could have been MOM for me in the grand final)

I've argued here before that KPP hadn't been all that in the NRL, and most disagreed with me. But I have noted that his performances have certainly improved since Jackson Hastings left the side, who, frankly, didn't seem to trust him. But then, we know that's a common trait with Hastings. I still don't think KPP has pulled up many trees compared to the many excellent second-rowers in the NRL, and yes, I do think Nsemba has the potential to be a better player.

Isa, Cooper and Hampshire are leaving (to my knowledge) so you would think it would leave us with a decent bit of room to extend and improve others contracts, iv heard a rumour Byrne might be going to Salford and if so I could see us signing a second rower. It would be a kick in the teeth if Eckersley leaves and also a little disappointing that Douglas is apparently surplus to requirements but in a salary capped sport these are the perils of being a top team I suppose.
