we need to find a quality hooker to progress to the next level
I think Borough has been very good but is suffering from too many minutes which is affecting his running game. I'd like to see him and Cust playing in 20 minute spells. I think he had been good and think he will get better, agree needs to play less minutes and run more, actually think he has a good running game. Also set up a couple of trys for Ese Ese.

Which games has he stood out in? Defensively sound but I've seen next to nothing from him attack wise. His ball out of dummy half is slow and often inaccurate slowing down our attack. Just my opinion and others will differ but he looks a bit like Danny Houghton Mk2 to me Don't think there's anything wrong with a Danny Houghton MK2 as long as we have a second hooker to come off the bench and provide a spark with a quick running game.Would love for Balmforth to be that player and hope he can get back to last year's form.

I'd love us to tie eseh up on a 4 or 5 year deal but can see why he would want a crack at breaking into the wigan team
Wigan would be crazy to let him go at this point. He had a few loan spells last year without really impressing, now it looks like he's really building something. Byrne and Hill are both gone with not a lot of cap space left. Eseh and an academy front rower will likely replace them in the squad and Id hope that we're able to bring in a high quality second rower to replace Farrell.

| Problem with being a successful team in a salary capped sport is that your players can command higher salaries and you do have to make tough decisions on who to retain/release, so maybe there is a chance we could get Eseh next season

If he feels he has a future at wigan he can go there and play when a couple of others are injured and see what happens or could opt to sign for us from 2027 on and see if that forces the issue with wigan. He'd likely be in the 17 most weeks here and either playing reserves or shipped out on dual reg at wigan

Balmforth just not getting enough minutes on the field.I would be very disappointed if i was him particularly when Borough is hitting an average spell in his form. Dont see why given our curent problem at 13 why they dont give Balmforth a run there. He is a decent size,good pace and hands but maybe his suspect defence is what the coach sees rather than attacking qualities

Rapana definitely mixed bag .Thought Aydin had a really good first spell but definitely not a 13..... If Eseh is happy here can't we sign him up December if he doesn't extend his contract at Wigan ?......All in all 2 points no injuries back in the top 6..... Would we have taken this at season start ... Dam right we would
He is under contract at Wigan and i think the club are just being respectful to Wigan not pushing the situation at the moment.That said it wouldnt surprise me to see him here next season
