I don’t see Ellis shifting from 13, however he could move to prop during games for a spell.
I think we will be expecting Eseh/Hill to be the long term replacement for Cooper.
A new 1 year deal probably suits Forber and Wigan, would be great if we could get him on a 1 year with a second year in clubs favour. Think we will all have a better idea of where all the pieces fit around the 9 shirt by the end of 2025.
Only position I think we need to recruit for in 2025 is secondrow, I actually think Walters may move into the middle again next year as I just don’t see him as dynamic enough to get the best out of him as a secondrow.
If we can get a second rower for 2025, more in the mould of a Willie Isa than a Junior Nsemba/Sam Walters, I think the squad is looking really well balanced and has plenty of depth. Th experience guys like Eckersley, Farrimond and to a lesser extent, Jacob Douglas have got this year gives me confidence we don't need anything in the backs.
The link with Fulton at Bradford seems loose at the minute but is an interesting one. I had a look at some highlights and he certainly hits a good line and I believe is on about a try a game from 12 or 13 appearances at Bradford. You'd imagine Wigan will have seen plenty of him recently with Makin being on loan there and also Douglas spending time there earlier in the year.
