WIGAN

In fairness to Eseh and Chan, they've not had a chance here and have been moved around clubs. They'll go up the pecking order next year and playing in a side like Wigan is different to playing in Hull FC's team. They're very much risk free options for us. If they work out, then great but if not, well there are numerous options above them currently and it's not going to have a huge baring on how we shape up.

And numerous options behind them as well.

Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.

I’m looking forward to seeing Eseh in 2025.

He’s a cracking prospect who offers something different to any other prop we have.

He bulked up significantly in his first offseason, I think he will again this.

He’s had his issues in 24 but he can really play and he’s still very young.

Chan I’m not convinced by, and if we bring in another second row this year I think he will be moved on.

I honestly think that should be up to Chan. He has a three year deal and has moved country to commit to Wigan.

Ultimately it will be, I don’t see a long term future for him though.

I feel he was brought in as a project to replace Isa, he’s looked lost when used on the edge in attack and defence.

He’s good enough for SL as a middle, but not for us I don’t think given our current squad.

He could sit in his deal and not play or be offered an out.

If we sign a secondrow as rumoured id be surprised to see him here in 25.

Maybe one of your numerous sources can help me?

I had to laugh today on redvee. Someone’who actually does have sources mentioned saints signing a Brisbane centre and straight away you are giving it “my sources tell me we are signing a Brisbane centre”. You are a proper chancer. You don’t have a sources at all. I could start a thread about darts on redvee and your first response would be “I have a mate who is president of the PDC lmao

Saints have signed Lewis Murphy, think that’s a great signing for them if he can stay fit.

My worry with Eseh is his lack of workrate on both sides of the ball but he’s only a pup and had time on his side. Even next season he won’t be someone we should be needing to rely on.

I've only seen bits of him this season, but there was one game in particular at when he was at Leeds where he seemed to be cheating the effort areas. Poor kick chasing and not getting back onside. He's still very young for a prop and maybe I just caught him on an off day, but attitude is a non-negotiable if he wants a long term future at Wigan.

The only reason they look up to you is because they chose to kneel.

I don't see who the Bennison deal benefits. He turns 22 soon and he's miles away. He isn't even being trusted to cover positions in the middle of an injury crisis, and unless he can suddenly start offering a lot more physically, I don't see how that changes next year.

The lad needs to find a club a bit lower down the pecking order that will actually play him so he can try and build a career. The club would be doing him a favour by saying that it's not going to happen at Saints.

I feel quite bad for Bennison because technically and mentally there’s a good player there. Unfortunately genetics have worked against him, because he’s not big, fast or strong.
