Wigan Warriors have enjoyed a stellar 2022 so far.

Second in the Super League table – only behind St Helens on points difference – and in the Challenge Cup Final, it’s fair to say that Wigan have improved drastically from 2022.

At the helm is Wiganer Matty Peet who knows just what the club means to the town. But, just who should he sign going into 2023?

With Tommy Leuluai winding down his career, it’s no secret that Wigan perhaps need a third halfback alongside Cade Cust and Harry Smith going forward. One man that suits the position down to the ground is Wakefield Trinity’s Mason Lino who has impressed greatly in 2022. With a superb goalkicking ability and a devastating running game, Lino would fit in seamlessly.

Another Wakefield man included in this list is Jacob Miller. The halfback was linked with a move to the DW Stadium in 2021 but that never happened. However, with Wigan a tad more desperate to nail down another playmaker, could they resurrect their interest in the long-serving Trinity man?

Having endured a difficult time over the Yorkshire side of the Pennines, Danny Richardson may look for a move closer home when his contract runs out at the end of this season. It remains to be seen whether the Warriors would go in for Richardson, but he has great pedigree, having come through the St Helens academy system.

Though Sam Powell is the lynchpin of this Wigan side, Brad Dwyer could certainly offer something different off the bench like he currently does for Leeds Rhinos. With the ability to turn a game in an instant, Dwyer’s sniping around the ruck on the back of a dominant pack could help take his game to the next level.

Wigan need a centre and Dean Whare is out of contract at Catalans Dragons at the end of 2022 – could it be an easy match? The departure of Zak Hardaker has left something of a gap in there, though Jake Bibby and Iain Thornley have performed admirably in recent weeks.
