No,but in spite of not being a specialist winger, Bibby has played as well on the wing as Manfredi, who like I have said has not been as outstanding in the same way that he was prior to his injuries.
Could not have come at a worse time with Marshall getting a long term injury on top of Davies leaving for Catalan Dragons.
In my opinion, the club should be making a move to sign Johnstone from Wakefield Trinity before another top club beat them to it. |

But unfortunately for him, he screwed it all up. I've been watching Wigan since 1958. My parents since the late 1920's, and my grandparents since 1900 if not before, as my Grandad was born in 1883. Hock was good.'"
Never won any honours I don't think. |

So what?
Many players have been signed while in the middle of a contract with a club, especially if the club is desperate for some finance. |

That's absolutely extraordinary when you think of the weight of trophies picked up by his peer group (or just younger).
Only got himself to blame etc. but it must eat at him to think what could have been. |

Gaz Hock under the Madge regime in 2010 would have been unplayable IMO |

We are asking fans to give the club money for games they won't attend because we aee struggling financially and then you want to go and pay money for a winger with a dreadful injury record.
Is that you Maurice? |

Still one of the best wingers in our game and if he has a poor injury record, no worse than Manfredi who has hardly played in the last couple of seasons or so and since his return has been anything like the Manfredi we saw prior to his injuries. |

We haven't paid a transfer fee for him though on top of the wages we pay him.
I rate TJ massively and he is on the wing for England IMO if he's fit, but there is no way we should be splashing out a big fee on him at this stage. |

So we carry on with Marshall out for the rest of the season, Manfredi playing nothing like he should be playing and Burgess only playing because no other winger is available and rumoured to be leaving for Salford at the end of the season.
As far as I am concerned, now is the time to be signing a specialist winger, if not Johnstone! |
