“A huge thank you to Mick Eccles at London for all the hard work he has put in helping Ramon with the past few months. We look forward to observing Ramon further over the remainder of the 2023 season.”

Wigan always seem to have a player that is talked about a lot but never seems to appear or rarely in the first team feel like Ramon is the current one

previous mentions for players such as Sam Hopkins

He,for me is one of those players that's a gamble if it works out brilliant and if not loan him to wind his contract down as seems to be the case with this fella.

I watched London last weekend (?) on Viaplay and thought he was pretty poor.

Freeing up space on cap ??

[Wiganer Ted]

Perhaps freeing up on quota space too.

Sorry Ted, not a quota player. I thought he did OK v Toulouse (hence they want him) but I was disappointed that he didn't really put himself about I didn't feel we would bring him back on that showing.

Strong player but not big enough. Don’t care what anyone says size does matter in his position. Sadly I don’t think he will reach the levels we need him to for a regular spot in a Wigan 1st team. Hill/Nsemba already leagues ahead of him, I’d let him go when his contract is up.
