Wonder if he will play ar prop backrow.

Shaw mentions he will provide cover for backrow, but I thought he was mainly a prop.

Chan felt like a strange and unnecessary signing for Wigan with all the middles already available. He was given a run at second row in a friendly against Wakefield but didn't look a natural fit and was exposed a few times. Since then he's been named at 13 in the reserves. I'd say he's a hard working front rower or 13 with a great attitude, although his lack of size will always limit his impact.

Trueman being back will hopefully improve things. I think if he'd have been on from the start we may well have scored when we had those 3 or 4 repeat sets in the first half against wire when it was only 6 nil and it could have been a different game

Pleased with chan signing.
Agree with earlier post he’s not the biggest but he’s mobile and runs hard.
With no bans or injuries I’m feeling more confident of a win against London.

Aydin & Brown move all confirmed

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Tue May 07, 2024 2:21 pm  

Welcome Yusuf and good luck to Jack.
I'll be interested to see if Brown kicks on elsewhere as I feel like he has plateaued a bit here.

thats the sort of loan signing we need rather than just a filler.
Problem is if its only for two weeks he could play only 1 game unless the club can get it extended

Lets hope we don't fall out with Wigan and they don't have any injuries to their pack in the next few weeks.

I m surprised we've only got Chan for 2 weeks . Thought we could have got him for a little longer .
