Any news on the new contract?

It was reported on a few weeks back that he'd yet to sign a new deal?

I don't understand how we can still be negotiating with a player for such a key position? I like Powell btw & hope he signs, but if he doesn't - we're up creek Surely the club should set a deadline on this kind of thing and once it passes, both parties move onto other options?

Confirmed by many reliable posters that he has signed a new contract along with Bibby and Isa.

Fair enough.

Funnily enough, I originally had the intention of doing a post about how weird it was that the club haven't officially announced Bibby, Isa and Powell's new contract + the signing of Thornley too. I can't think of another pro sporting organisation that doesn't announce new deals when they are signed?

Huddersfield have only just announces Fages signing and Saints haven't announced Hurrell yet, even though they were agreed months ago.

Warrington - you just need to pop onto their forum and they are virtually all complaining about the same things as Wigan fans complain about

We need an announcement

Those are new signings though (granted I spoke about Thornley). What about new deals?

I can also understand the above, Fages was in the GF so these things normally wrap up after the last game.

Sarcasm or not, I'd say that yeah I'd say we probably do.

We know all about Zak and his contract situation, but nothing about three lads who've signed new deals.

Brilliant from the club

was he?

Stop being pedantic

was announced his season was over about 6 weeks ago so not being really....

But yet that's the one thing you've picked up on this whole thread....

its the only thing ive read in the whole thread

Personally hope we haven’t done a deal and have a quality hooker lined up like Dwyer etc.
Powell is a hard worker and does the basics right, which means he gets a place at the right price as a utility squad player. but he’s no controlling hooker and is actually a huge part of why our attack is so woeful....not quick enough in terms of pace or ball distribution to ever get us on the front foot.

If Powell were to leave I’d wish him well and thank him for what he’s given us, but I would see it as a big positive which could make a huge difference in getting us back up there....we certainly shouldn’t be chasing him giving him big contracts..if he can get more elsewhere let him go
