I know Sam Burgess complained about it a few weeks back, and carrying over from last year, when players had already been punished v an overseas signing coming with a clean slate was a ridiculous system, but i havent seen anything since to say it has changed, but happy to be proven wrong as i cant believe (or i can actually its the RFL) that was the system they were going with

Some rumours were swirling around that Wigan were looking at signing Matty Lees from Saints, commencing in 2026. Rumours were especially strong on the wiganwarriorsfans forum.
That rumour was killed today, as Lees has extended his contract to remain with Saints until 2029.

Second row concerns me. In reality we have 2 specialist secondrows in the squad.
I’d class Walters as a utility forward.
I’m guessing we are keeping our powder dry to see who becomes available in the NRL.
Most likely early doors would be Josh Schuster who would be a massive risk but a total fresh start could be the catalyst he needs to get his love back of the game.
Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.

Not that he’s going to leave his Dad but I really have liked the look of Jed Cartwright at Hull. He’s off contract at the end of this year.
Not sure he’d be happy with a back up role though.
RICHARDS IS SUPERMAN!!!!

Willie Isa would have been a real handy player to have in the squad. Good that the club does the best thing for the player but it leaves us a bit short.

I don't think we'll be signing anyone Jon. There are 3 genuine first teamers currently looking to fill the 2nd row berths and a couple very promising youngsters who will need game time. Since Isa's retirement, it's probably our thinnest position for squad depth but not so much that I think they'll feel the need to add a body purely for cover. There's also the option of running Eckersley there in training as additional cover, as well as a couple of mobile props who could drop into the back row at a push. I think both Byrne and Dupree have had spells there.
