Use Walters through the middle if needed I reckon.

He's our one experienced back up player in the forwards - after that we're into names with very little SL experience.

Matty Peet's selection for Thursday will be interesting.
He won't have liked Tyler getting sin binned for pulling a player's hair.
Personally I'd have liked him to field his Grand Final 17 bar injuries and suspensions. Havard out but Hill in the 17 is pretty much a given. Walters is the curious one. Had a very good game v Sheffield which must have impressed MP where Tyler probably didn't.

Over-rated I’m not sure.
Over-the-hill absolutely.

I actually meant Lomax.
But I wouldn’t want Welsby either. We’ve got 2 better fullbacks than him.

Have you seen the Dupree thing? TBF to him it was just a grab attempting a tackle, wasn't like he lost his cool and did something stupid like he has done in the past.

I really hope we see more of Walters this year. At least give him a chance.

Seen on one of the fb pages Willie Isa's new job is with Chelsea FC as player support and development officer, fair play to him, well done Willie.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Mon Feb 10, 2025 10:38 pm  

With Willie Isa leaving the Warriors to link up with Chelsea FC as player welfare and development officer, Wigan are down one pack man for the 2025 Super League season.

That being said, Peet does not foresee bringing anyone else in for the remainder of the season.

“We won’t be looking to add anyone,” Peet continued. “We don’t have room to do it.

“Obviously we don’t have Willie anymore but more of our attention is on retention now.”

Not sure if it's been posted elsewhere but Peet confirmed Ethan needs an operation so he'll be out for a good few months.

Real shame for him, I think it's his 3rd bad hamstring injury now ?

At least 2nd but not the same leg that caused his issues before the 2023 GF.

He looks such an athlete Havard that you half wonder if he'd be less at risk if he let himself go a bit! If this is on the other hamstring from the injury at the end of 2023, hopefully it might sort it all once and for all.
