Wigan today are saying Eseh recalled but Chan still available to Hull and he only played for our reserves at the weekend because Hull didn't select him in their 19 man squad.

Chan’s future looks uncertain.

Odd signing for me. I don’t see him at Wigan next year. We need another secondrow with Walters joining the prop rotation with Eseh.

a utility back would go down nicely as well.

Think we have the backline covered with Farrimond who has effectively replaced Hampshire already, Eckersley and Douglas.



Having both Field and French out for extended periods has caused the current issue but hope we wouldn’t have similar issues moving forward.

Someone in the mould of a young Rhyse Martin would be nice.

If Walters wage is a lot bigger than Chan's I'd keep Chan. If it gives us more cap space I don't think Chan would give us less than Walters has so far

In reply to Jon. Ok, what about Matautia? Cover for second row, prop and centre.

Not for me he’s a player very much on the decline.



Of lads who are off contract I’d be looking at Jacob Alick-Wiencke from the Titans, 6’4” dynamic secondrow (who has covered centre). I don’t think the centre cover though is essential as that’s what Eckersley is in the squad for this and next year however it’s a good fallback position.



I don’t think there is any need for further prop cover.

I say give Walters time as he clearly has a much higher ceiling than Chan....he has to or he'd keep banging his head

Text of email sent to Saints today



I also cc'd the email to the Warriors.

Firstly with everything going on in the country it’s a strange thing to be annoyed about and to actually e mail the club.



However you’ve got me thinking now and I’m going to check it tomorrow on my way to the game. Does it not say “World Champions 2023?”



If it does then that’s factually correct. If not then you’ve got a point. I’m more worried about taking my 13 year old lad to Wembley on Saturday with the riots/protests than wording on a sign but each to their own.
