great piece of work
Coaching team tied down long terms
Field, Smith and Miski all resigned on long term deals, Thompson and Leeming on 4 year deals
just need to look at Havard, Byrne, Hill, Dupree, Nsemba, Walters, O'Neill (& or Forber) etc now and if we can get those guys on extended contracts the squad is looking set and hopefully settled for the next few years
with the natural retirements of Cooper, Farrell, Isa too, then that gives pathway into the 1st team if they are ready to take it
Havard, Nsemba and O’Neill are tied down until the end of 2027 from pretty recent deals. Walters is tied in until the end of 2026 and Dupree is either 2026 or 2027.
It’s just Byrne and Hill I think might be up soon, so hopefully they’ll be locked in before long.

I think there has to be some sacrifices, obviously cap management is the key and use of the marquee spots to maximise value against the additional dispensations.
Keighran I think will only do the 2 years, Isa, Cooper, Farrell possibly returning in the not too distant it’s a real juggling act.

If I was a Huddersfield fan (god forbid), I'd be asking serious questions of Watson.
He literally didn't select a generational talent and happily let him go to the leagues biggest side. MOM in the GF for Wigan, but yet he couldn't even get in their CC Final team? One of the very few superstars they've ever produced etc. The list goes on and on.
Letting JW go, whilst under contract, has to go down in history as one of the dumbest decisions in the last 20+ years.

Watson had an issue to deal with he wanted Jake to play one side of the field, Jake wanted to play the other side.
Could argue Jake tested the coaches authority too with how he behaved.
Very difficult to cave in in front of the wider squad and back down if you are a head coach and hope maintain a level of authority over the rest of the club.
I do think he was always destined to play for Wigan but that fall out probably accelerated the process by a couple of years.

Great to get this lad tied down on a long term deal. He's been nowt but class since he joined us, makes very few errors, and comes up with some really important plays.
Centre is often an under valued position and I don't get why. Having a classy centre with a good understanding of his winger is a licence to rack up points.
Almost for as long as I can remember, we've had two recurring bugbears about the composition of the squad - two proper centres and size in the pack. Fair to say that those two issues seem to have been resolved for the foreseeable future.
We all love our academy but flexing our muscles and securing top tier talent from other clubs who have shown great potential but can improve in the Wigan system (Dupree and Wardle), has taken the squad to the next level.
Last time we signed like that was Sarginson and Bateman in 2014.
RICHARDS IS SUPERMAN!!!!
