Re eseh I think wigan are just after a fee
This.
I wonder if we could sign him December this year and Wigan would release/loan him back for 2026.
All the noise is hes enjoying it here and the club want to keep him.
I've just posted a response to Ellam who commented very similar
i personally dont think Wigan would do that, and dont think we've invoked the extra year just to get a transfer fee
Eseh is only 21 and has masses of potential. I think Wigan signed him on that basis. We've had both Byrne and Hill sign for Wire and Hull respectively and both integral to our squad this year, so i would be surprised if we said we wanted to keep Eseh, and then let him go on loan for the season
IMO, the only reason we would do that is if his attitude at Wigan isnt right, but its clear from the outside that Cartwright is getting something out of him at Hull, so he's clearly enjoying being there. We need to make sure he feels the same at Wigan, and i see a long term contract to keep him at Wigan, but equally Hull could offer him a similar / better deal with more 1st team rugby and he may move on. The joys of the salary cap

and balancing a squad, glad i'm not a chief executive

It's a tricky business, especially for a club like Wigan that produce so many players. I imagine it's gotten even trickier with the change in the tampering deadline.
