Given his intimate knowledge of our development pathways you would think he may know Nsemba is a secondrow.
We are still promoting players and continue to do so, we just do it in a planned and managed way to enhance their careers.
With Isa, Cooper and most likely Mago departing next year and fringe players like Cust, Thornley and possibly others (Powell & Shorrocks) there is plenty of room for our youngsters this year and next to progress.
Funny stuff to read that. A long list of players noted who are going to hold back Nsemba, all of which were props, when Nsemba plays second row
The pathways for them all will be in place I'm sure. As you say it is extremely likely Cooper and Isa will retire/leave at the end of 2024 and I doubt we'll look externally to replace them. There is also a chance Mago then goes and we don't take the years option and who knows what the future may hold regards other exits. I think a season long loan for Harvie Hill would be really positive and then he comes back as a replacement. The opportunities for Nsemba will be there in 2024. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being a starting second rower at some point in the year.

No it doesnt. When he was home for the grand final last year he was in the changing room with them and then out on the ale with them afterwards. He was also home earlier this year and out with the Saints players including all the senior ones

As a saints fan..it stings! Ignore redvee and the “I’m not bothered” brigade. Of course they are. According to his dad saints were his first choice but weren’t prepared to pay what wigan were offering which was close to his nrl Salary at the bulldogs.
Great signing for Wigan.easily the best pack in SL next season
