The reality is unless someone special becomes available we won’t be needing to sign a prop for a couple of seasons at least.

We also have 4 front line second row forwards it’s just very unfortunate that we have 2 injured at the same time going into the season.

We obviously have risks associated with certain players and NRL interest however in Havard, Eseh, Dupree, Hill we have the foundations in place to be very settled in the prop department for best part of a decade.

Mago 29, Thompson 28 and Ellis 27 all got a few seasons on them also.

Realistically we are only likely to lose Cooper anytime soon unless we move on Mago too.

It’s a great position to be in allowing us time to really focus on developing our young props that are already at the club.

Chan at the moment I’m not sure about but he’s another only 23/24 who has time on his side and certainly has the mental attributes in my opinion to really develop in the Wigan set up similar to how Isa did.


I agree with all of that. We have three props in their prime and a whole host of others that will continue to develop over the next few years. I think the club see Makin as a replacement for Cooper but that won’t be for a couple of years. The conveyor belt seems well oiled with respect to both backs and forwards.

What are your thoughts on Makin, Zig? He seems to be an explosive runner at academy level but, as he's not the biggest, do you think it will transfer to senior level?

I think his size (height) is a disadvantage but his attitude is first class. Will power can get you a long way. I am hoping that the club can develop him into an Andy Platt type player. The jury is out yet, but I think he has a chance.

Platt started as a back rower iirc and I'm wondering whether the same pathway might be the best for Makin too? Not sure if he's ever played there though so it might be a non starter.

He did, at Saints. I don’t know if Makin has played second row.

Played front row and sometimes 2nd row at Judes but I'm going back years to when he was a kid. His dad Craig played at Widnes & Salford.

If I remember rightly he was also a prop.
