For our sake's let's hope not as he looks very promising indeed (already helped us secure a major trophy with his try on the CC Final). Another thing that makes it doubtful is how often do you see a player go directly from Wigan to Saints or vice versa? When was the last one? Plus I'm talking about a first team player, not a reserve/academy/scholarship...etc.



Even Micky Higham came to us indirectly from Bradford and that was nearly twenty years ago.



Unlike Hull FC & Hull KR who regularly swap players both ways over the years for us it's very rare.

It doesn't look like Chan will ever make it with us.

Now confirmed.

Interesting to see what happens to Eseh from here. For whatever reason he doesn’t seem to be fancied by Peet which is unusual given how aggressively we went for him beating Saints to the punch and in the process paying a nominal fee to do so.  He’s still only 21 so plenty of time for him yet but I genuinely thought this would be the year he would be starting to make an impact.  He signed a 2 year deal with an option for a third which I assume is in the clubs favour, as such it’s a huge move for his Wigan future to go out on loan for the full year to try earn a new deal.

I think the club have given him a kick up the backside. In my view, Sam has not made the impact on and off the field that everyone thought. I think he still has time to turn it around but there is no doubt that he needs to do it quick. When I have seen him at club functions he seems a tad aloof.
