Wigan has two non-federation trained spots available in 2026.

If we're losing Byrne and Hill and the club clearly don't seem to rate Eseh or Chan then I think we need another front rower. We would be left with Thompson, Walters, Dupree, Mago and an injury prone Havard.

Josh Papali'i would be my vote for a few seasons, the guy is a beast

Looks like Papali'i has signed a 3 year extension at Canberra so that's another dream shot down in flames lol

I’ve not seen that, where have you read it?

Was a story from 2020 , I spell checked his name on google earlier and saw it, never had me glasses on so didn't read it properly

Bonus, so there's still a chance of signing him

If Keighran goes and these new rules are passed around overseas players dropping off the quota after 5 seasons, we could go up to 3, as I think I read French would come under that.

No chance of getting McMeekan out of Wakey. They gave him and Johnstone big contracts to join by all accounts and I think he's tied down for another few seasons. He is a fine player mind and has really stepped up this season. He's be in my starting 13 for the Ashes.

In terms of us, I don't think there is much we need other than an experienced second rower. We'll have to see what happens with Keighran. If he goes, I'd be happy with Eckersley taking the starting shirt but we could do with a bit of back up at centre.

Be reet for Saints then (who seem to be heavily linked).

Looked good the last time I saw him

I don't think Wigan are keen on signing overseas players in the latter stages of their career.
