Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.

Keighran could be Custs replacement at 6 rather than replacing King.

Looks a real handy player to me, great hand-off and a super sidestep too.

Going off the clip he was wearing the 3'4'6' and 7 jersey looks like a handy player to have around.

He's shown some classy touches when I've seen him play this year. Re his goalkicking I don't know his success rate but suspect its better than Smith's. Always prefer to play outside backs on the side they're most used to as it reduces the risk - some players seem to be able to switch over seamlessly whereas others struggle.

Think its a shame for King if he does end up going back to Warrington. Looks like its inevitable due to the big contract he's on and Warrington's option of assigning him marquee status. But irrespective of whether its a good or bad move for Wigan and Warrington, the switch to Wigan in 2023 has clearly been great for his game. In 2022 he was very poor and some fans were understandably concerned about whether Wigan could get the best out of him. Credit to Peet and the coaching staff - they've managed it and he has a big impact on the game (particularly with his carries out of our own half). Hopefully he won't regress again playing under a coach he didn't work well with the first time round.


I keep reading about King being on marquee money but where is the evidence of this?

It would need to be Very, very good to be better than Smiths kicking record in 2022, something that people seem to be forgetting when he was IIRC the top goalkicker numbers and % wise?

As for King, he's been very good imo for us, on Sunday I was struck how he came back on the drop off ball inside a lot more than usual and it added to his game and our performance.
It was a little bit like our 2nd rowers have done for us last 10 years Hansen/Bateman/Isa


His kicking accuracy for 2023 is currently 72%.

Not amazing really, a fair bit better than Smith this season but I bet Smith had a better percentage last season.

Quite a high missed tackle percentage, although centre will be a position a lot of tackles are missed.

I was thinking that, what is Hampshires contract status for next season? Could it maybe be a case of Keighran and Leeming replacing Cust, Hampshire and Thornley?

Rocky's contract extension is based on this year's performance.

King for some reason doesn’t seem to get a break sometimes, there always seems to be a bit of a witch-hunt with him.

He makes a mistake it’s emphasised and when he plays well he’s on big money amongst other things. I think the only way that changes is if he becomes our player which looks increasingly unlikely.

Given the current announced recent signings I think we are building well and moving in the right direction.

We still need a few things though in my opinion at the very least.

1. An experienced quality prop.

2. To work out the Field French conundrum. As exciting as it is unless it is resolved it’s going to hold the potential of the team back.

For what it’s worth (which is very little) my solution as mad as it seems is allow Field to move on and sign a natural 6 with French at 1, as I think French is the superior fullback of the 2 and neither are halves and French is wasted on the wing.

3. I would have said secondrow but I think with Nsemba and maybe Chan we can look to other areas depending on what happens with King.
