Peet has stated that KPP will be at Wigan in 2023 in an interview with Love Rugby League. I hope it is the case and we can get a good 18 months out of him if he does then move on.

Well that's potentially one centre position sorted next year.

Yeah, that must be his best performance at wing, we were brilliant for 20/30 minutes in the second half. If performances like that become the norm we should pay him what he wants!!!!
He wasn’t committal at all in his post match interview over his future though, I liked Peets interview where he said they should be as honoured to play for Wigan as we should that we have them, also acknowledging the fact he wants to go to the NRL, I saw that as him saying that he should show us some loyalty if the NRL move doesn’t present itself.

Let's assume Bevan doesn't bag himself a NRL contract this time round meaning he stays in SL. Which scenario would give him a better chance of gaining that NRL contract in a couple of years by putting himself in the shop window?

Playing Fullback at midtable Hull FC with little chance of silverware.

Playing Wing or Fullback for Wigan, already bagged Challenge Cup with a good chance of further finals and silverware success.

Let's face it, we have lads going to the NRL straight from our Academy as it seems playing for Wigan is like some sort of badge of honour when it comes to Aussie Clubs on the hunt for new overseas talent.

Was just thinking about this, French won’t get a full back gig in the NRL post probably much more likely to get back playing on the wing.

He can showcase himself in the position he’ll likely go to play in.

Not quite, he said all he can say is KKP is contracted to Wigan for next year.

When is he due back from injury?

Potentially Toulouse more likely Wakefield.

On the Wigan today site he says he’s contracted in 2023 and will 100% be with us. He says he’s got a contract and that won’t change.

He certainly sounds more confident then just saying he’s under contract.

His decision may get clouded if Hull offer him more money though.

Interesting, was worded a bit differently in the article I read. I hope that’s right and perhaps sees a shift in policy.

The one I read quoted Peer saying he was under contract for next year and quoted a so called best agent in the world (can’t remember the name) saying he’d be shocked if Wigan didn’t take the cash or the swap deal on offer.
