Plus some of the younger lads

That side/squad is easily one of if not the best in the league.
Back line is brilliant and great competition in the forwards.
We get a lot of criticism from other fans that say we are a 2 man team but there’s not much weakness in that squad from my pov.

We should sign Worcester Warriors RU centre Caleb Montgomery, I'd love a back line with Field Marshall Montgomery in it

I'm expecting to see the likes of Nsemba, Hill and Jack Bibby getting game time next season along with Zach Eckersley.

If that’s our squad for next year I’ll be pretty happy. Fingers crossed on French & Wardle.

Those three look good. Also, Max Wood, maybe?

When are the season ticket details being launched? You'd assume that any new signings wouldn't be on the same day, but following soon after too.

Some promising forwards - it would be good to see some playmakers develop as 1st team prospects.

Generally speaking I'm not convinced the Wigan academy has lived up to its reputation over the recent years. The last academy player to go on to become an England international was Oliver Gildart (debuted in 2015).

Tom Davies has done it after (I think).
