Junior Nsemba

Just wanted to post on here about this guy.

What.A.Talent!

Breaking through tackles tonight like butter. Just seriously hope Wigan retain this guy. All the makings of a legend!

Phil Gould is a massive fan of him. Thinks he will eventually go to the NRL and become a star.

Best young talent I have seen in a long time. Has it all.

Absolute pleasure to watch.

Reminds me a bit of Peacock and Hock the way he runs in 100mph.

The thing that is great is that he can run it in like a prop but he’s also starting to hit the angles out wide and create half breaks.

Incredible progress and immense potential

The thing enjoy him while we can sure as eggs is eggs he will be “poached” and the “yolk”will be on us if we don’t enjoy watching this massive talent come to the “boil”.

That’s what I’m afraid of.
I think we will eventually lose him to the NRL.

He has definately come good and makes willies loss almost unnoticed.If he wants to go to the NRL he will( nothing will stop that).Its up to us to convince him to stay

Was sat thinking last night which young forwards we've produced in my 35 years watching the side are comparable and Hock came to mind, at least with the ball. Big, raw boned, awkward to tackle, freakishly strong etc. I actually think Nsemba is more impressive though because his work without the ball is better. Hock was never really a hugely aggressive tackler, whereas Nsemba is battering people constantly. He's also improved as the season has gone on with his workrate and concentration and seems to be getting those little moments where he'd switch off and not cover across on the inside, out of his game.


Enjoy him while he's here is all we can do.

Whisk down to the bookies and lay a bet on him, Foz.

I think back to when Junior first took over from Willie Isa, he looked off the pace that first couple of games and wasn't playing the 80 mins.

He's improved so much that he can now play the 80 and the coaches have paid him the massive compliment of moving the club captain from his usual left side to the right in order to accommodate Nsemba on his best side the left.

His performances are staggeringly good and he's clearly the best 2nd row in SL.
