I’m aware, I’ve no reason to doubt the original poster either.

Time will tell I guess.

My thought would be IF he does sign we would look to use him in the Kade Ellis style as a middle playing Prop and 13 once he returns from his loan spell with Trinity (should the information turn out to be correct).

As people have said Cooper will likely be gone and potentially Mago, there is always the fear Havard ends up in the NRL and also Smithies so in a years time there could be quite a clear path to the 17 or at least the peripheries.

There's definitely some movement between Wigan and Wakefield, regardless of Eseh.

You are usually correct YG. Is that player Pratt?

If Smithies keeps playing how he’s playing now, I’ll be surprised if he’s here in 2025. Especially with him getting a new agent.

I wouldnt worry too much. After all, he wouldnt get in the Saints team so why would anybody else want him?

No mate. Fringe Wigan player all but signed for Wakey.

Twitter all seems to be sure he’s signing for Saints.

I remember Twitter being awash with Saints fans claiming Sam Walters had signed for them.

Start a rumour at an amateur game with the other people watching. A believable one mind. I guarantee within a day or 2 it will be all over Twitter from people who have “contacts”
