Thompson can cover prop and 13 with maybe O’Neil just with question marks over the people outgoing Shorrocks and Powell
Leeming cover 9 and O’Neil possibly Rocky?
Don’t have to rush the injured back then'"
Just looking at that list. Ellis and Byrne as starting will be as good as any in the League. Mago and Dupree as impact props could be exactly that and more. Second row Farrell and Walters, loose Thompson.
Nsemba off the bench 2nd row and O'Neil off the bench to 9 or 13.
Some pack that is!

Still think O’Neil starts with Leeming off the bench after 25 mins.
He’s more suited to scooting and attacking fatigued players.

Possibly & that's what I'd go for too.
Isn't that what Leeming kicked off about at Leeds though? That being said, has anyone read the interview he's done with the Titans? He makes a point about saying he's the 80mins he's got as well as the 5 min stints too.
Hopefully he's changed his tune re not being a starter?

O’Neill should get the 9 shirt and the starting spot for me. I think he’s earned that over this past couple of seasons and for such a young lad, he’s showing a great level of maturity and leadership.
Leeming will know his role you’d imagine and will have said yes to the club based on that. I think we’ll see both on the field at times, with O’Neill at 13.

One thing I think we can be confident on - if Peet gets any attitude from Leeming regarding minutes he'll be heading through the exit door pretty quickly. He won't put up with any threat to the team culture.
Potentially O'Neill and Leeming could be a very good combo for Wigan but it would likely work best with Leeming coming off the bench. There's also Tom Forber waiting in the wings.

100% and like NK said, I'm sure those conversations will have been had. If we're going well, I'm sure it won't be an issue.

I’m surprised that Wigan signed Leeming, I thought we should have been promoting Forber.

It’s an interesting one.
I personally don’t think Forber is ready to be a first team regular yet but I think if he continues to be developed he may be ready in 2 years, but we will still have Leeming and O’Neil.
Forber is another that needs to be on loan to a SL club preferably.

I see the logic in his signing but for me its 2 years too long. 2 years with an option for another in the clubs favour would have been a smarter move. If he wouldnt accept that then he could have gone elsewhere
