Eseh is the only one I'd add to our pack.
I'm happy with how it stacks up now.
Players will come available through season if we get any long term injuries we can't cover.

Don’t shoot me for saying this there is still Ryan Hampshire without a contract. Pretty much covers all of Kay’s position and probably realises he’d now in his last couple of full time years

I agree that players will become available as the season progresses. We should be in a good position to secure a couple of needed.

With how our recruitments gone it will be interesting to see if there’s any signings announced for 2026 season on Decembers deadline.

I don't think he's on our radar at all.

Agree, we are well stocked in those positions.

Quite a few decent players still without a team for next season, but most are quota players.... https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/footbal ... a894&ei=34

Hampshire's always been too good for the average club, but not good enough for #1 at the top club.

It makes him a superb back-up player - absolutely won't let you, but the A-lister in your team (often an import), is just that bit better (and better paid). Injuries may well have played a part in that??

You don't bring a player 12000 miles to bench them.

Big fish in a small pond / small fish in a big pond.

Unfortunately, Hampshire's agent has never grasped this.

Could have been a Wakey legend - would never be a Wigan legend.

If you think I'm being anti-Hampshire - you're wrong, he's one of my favourite players.

Hampshire is always asking for too much money. He is a utility player and won't be first choice in any superleague team but he won't accept that . Every time his contract runs out he thinks the grass is greener somewhere else

Agree ,greedy agent strikes again Still think we would have stoped in S L if we had let Gaskell go in stead of Hampshire. No it is all if and buts,but there is no substitute for pace

Or not brought Gaskell in at all, which someone did state on here, that we would never be signed us, despite been offered to us previously
