Look after him.
He's not Gareth Hock or Zak Hardaker.

Nsemba pens new six-year deal
* Junior Nsemba has signed a new 6-year deal with Wigan Warriors.
* The 20 year-old will remain with Wigan until the end of 2030.
* Kris Radlinski: “The retention of Junior for Wigan and the Super League is monumental.”
WIGAN WARRIORS ARE DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE THAT JUNIOR NSEMBA HAS SIGNED A NEW DEAL WITH THE CLUB THAT WILL SEE HIM REMAIN AT THE BRICK COMMUNITY STADIUM UNTIL THE END OF THE 2030 SEASON.
The former St Jude’s second row forward made his full debut against Hull KR in 2022, a year which also saw him represent Lancashire at Academy level and score six tries in five appearances for the Reserves.
In 2023, Nsemba came off the bench to score his first career try in an 18–14 victory against Leeds Rhinos in the 6th round of the Challenge Cup, live on the BBC. His performances in 2023 saw him rewarded with a four-year contract.
His honours already include two League Leaders’ shields and a Challenge Cup and he has nine tries in 42 appearances.
Junior Nsemba said: “First of all I’d like to thank Distinct Rugby for making this happen. I’d also like to thank my parents for guiding me in the right direction. Signing this contract is amazing and being able to play in front of the Wigan fans and for my hometown club for another six years is incredible.
“This year was just the start and I can’t wait to see what the next years bring.”
Matt Peet said: “It’s a great statement from the Club and by Junior. His potential on and off the field is there for everyone to see. We have a responsibility to guide his development and ensure that he achieves everything that he is capable of.
“It makes it even more special that he is a Wigan lad. I know that everyone in the Club is delighted at this news, including Junior. His kind, hard working, humble character is a credit to him and his family, and they should be very proud of the young man he is.”
Chief Executive, Kris Radlinski said: “The retention of Junior for Wigan and the Super League is monumental. Junior is arguably one of the most talked-about players in the World right now. His physical presence and athleticism make him a dominant force on the field. While he’s already being compared to some of the greatest to have ever played the game, it’s important to remember that he’s still at the beginning of his journey.
“We’re thrilled that he’s committed to our club for another six years, and we’re all incredibly excited about him realising his potential.”

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: JNR new contract
And isn’t this great news cover Junior,the club and to a lesser extent us fans who can now settle back and hopefully fulfil that huge potential and when the NRL come a calling as they surely will if Junior does fancy life down under it should protect the club too.
Great news

In Wigan we trust. There is no limit to what he can achieve with us.
Re: JNR new contract
Wow, I am so pleased the message I posted last week has come to fruition and my contact was spot on. 6 years is an excellent deal as I predicted last week for Junior Nsemba.
