Wonder if the club will use the Big Night Out theme as a chance to announce Big Knight In

Too good!

Shame about Eseh - really like him, but we could always schedule it for the year after if he has to stay at Wigan for a year. He looks to be really enjoying it here.


I agree about the forum too, its still mostly un-navigateable if thats a word. You go back a page and it all messes up

Its going to be interesting to see how Eseh pans out

Matty Peet has said that he is a Wigan player next season, but in reality he is still going to be 6th choice prop (Thompson, Havard, Walters, Dupree, Mago all ahead of him in the pecking order), and thats after us losing Byrne and Hill. Now at 21 / 22 thats probably not a bad position to be in, but he had loads of potential


If Wigan have only invoked the 1 year, then he is out of contract at the end of next season, so Hull could speak to him from December 2025. At that point, clubs will only be in pre-season, so Wigan have a decision to make based on his time at Hull and how he has performed in pre-season. Hull could be in a very good position to offer him a better contract than Wigan, similar to how Byrne and Hill have played out this season. Wigan may see the potential and offer him a 2+1 contract (just chucking out scenarios) but without the promise of guaranteed 1st team rugby, where Hull could offer the same, but with a starting 17 spot, and its then up to Eseh and what he wants for his career. 12 months ago, it would have been a no-brainer to stay at Wigan, but Hull have progressed massively on and off the pitch in the last 12 months from the apparent car crash that has been the last couple of years

What a good post Mark. covers all the bases and hopefully we'll have patience and get him as soon as we can.

Agree with Mark if we can sign him in December for 2027 onwards Wigan may end up letting him go from his last year of his deal and we can get him next season.

We've got a trialist from RU playing for the reserves tomorrow. Jack Rampton, a 6ft 4in winger from Basingstoke who has played RU sevens for Jamaica.


Good to see the club are scouting widely for new talent. Interesting to see how this one works out. 

Ratu was a gem of a find for the club , Hope this kid is also . We have had a few wingers come for a trial and then seem to disappear . 

Time to be ruthless, get rid of Rapana who has to be one of our worth overseas signings in years, I'd allso release Cust. Knight nothing special either, do everything to sign Eseh. Immediately you've got three new quota players we can sign

Hatchet-Man Seb coming out with his big chopper.

Well that was on a par with the worst of the worst.
First few sets and they looked knackered. 
Hardaker was the only stand out for me. His defence work rate was outstanding.
Looks like they’re going to be getting their overalls on this week.
I was really hopeful beginning of the season season that we’d achieve top 6.
Disappointed with sezer cust rapana. Against a poor but fired up Cas, there was no leadership out there tonight.
Jeez, what was wrong with Ashworth.
