With Ellis, Mago, Byrne, Dupree and to a lesser extent Eseh and Hill (not doubting ability just a lot to rely on young lads) we should be fine for the first half of the season.

Thompson can cover prop and 13 with maybe O’Neil just with question marks over the people outgoing Shorrocks and Powell

Leeming cover 9 and O’Neil possibly Rocky?

Don’t have to rush the injured back then

One thing I think we can be confident on - if Peet gets any attitude from Leeming regarding minutes he'll be heading through the exit door pretty quickly. He won't put up with any threat to the team culture.

Potentially O'Neill and Leeming could be a very good combo for Wigan but it would likely work best with Leeming coming off the bench. There's also Tom Forber waiting in the wings.

100% and like NK said, I'm sure those conversations will have been had. If we're going well, I'm sure it won't be an issue.

I’m surprised that Wigan signed Leeming, I thought we should have been promoting Forber.

It’s an interesting one.

I personally don’t think Forber is ready to be a first team regular yet but I think if he continues to be developed he may be ready in 2 years, but we will still have Leeming and O’Neil.

Forber is another that needs to be on loan to a SL club preferably.

I see the logic in his signing but for me its 2 years too long. 2 years with an option for another in the clubs favour would have been a smarter move. If he wouldnt accept that then he could have gone elsewhere
