Tyler Dupree joins Wigan Warriors with immediate effect on a four-year contract for an undisclosed transfer fee.

Brad Singleton will join Salford immediately after already agreeing a move for 2024.

Dupree will be available to play against Leigh this Saturday.

What's not to like about this. Singleton has been a massive dud and in his place we've got a 23 year old England international.

If this is followed up with another signing of an experienced proven forward then yes we could to be on the right on the right lines. As I’ve posted elsewhere I don’t know too much about the lad but I’m assuming the hand of SW in this one. We are building an aggressive young pack but for me we still need that old head to keep it all together.
I’m assuming that Singleton has seen arris hence the lack of playing time recently.

Great news and top business by Wigan. Building a very talented squad for next year.

Would love us to add Ryan Sutton in there too and ship Mago out

Clark to St Helens confirmed - think he's a great signing for them as he's ideal for the way they play. Interesting to compare him and Leeming - no doubt Clark at his best has reached heights that Leeming hasn't and when he runs the ball off the back of a dominant pack he's very damaging. On the other hand he'll be 31 when he starts at Saints and his running game may become less effective in the latter years of his career. Leeming will be 28 when he starts at Wigan, has captaincy and NRL experience and a well-rounded game. I think both clubs have got the right player that suits them best.

He would come in handy until the fist sniff of an NRL return

Think we will sign one more player, I’d want an experienced second rower but I saw someone on Twitter saying we have signed a big prop. That’s gonna likely mean the second spot in the halves maybe be a little disjointed again with French, Field, Keighran and maybe Leeming being possibilities, I still think with better go forward French could still be a good option.
Really impressed we have made a bit of a statement signing at this time of the season, the league is there to be won and I had us in with a decent shout before this signing, once we get Havard back our pack will be pretty formidable I feel especially going if KPP can keep it up, if we can finally get a bit more cohesion in the backs we could be the team to beat.
