Quote: adi "Manfredi has a clear run for the rest of the season as he won't really have much competition for his place. If he stays injury free and shows some decent form then keep him. If he sadly breaks down again then it perhaps makes the decision for us.'"


One other factor is how patient Manfredi will be. If he gets a good offer elsewhere, then he may well just sign that and you can’t really blame him. I can’t blame Wigan for not wanting to sign him up just yet. I’d want to have a look at him for at least another 6-10 games and then decide.

Think I saw a comment from Manfredi along the lines of "not worrying about it, just want to concentrate on rugby"... not sure that's the best way to manage it considering offers might disappear.

The fact we haven't just offered him a 1 year deal means we're unlikely to offer him anything IMO.

Surely if Marshall regains fitness, then Manfredi and Bibby will be battling for the right wing slot?

Without French you’d imagine they’ll be paired on the right side with Manfredi on the wing and Bibby centre.

The problem with that is contract extension decisions are made in June, well before the back end of the season. The club need to either bite the bullet, hope he stays injury free and puts in good performances or let him go.

Yeah I think everyone except Itchy Arsenal saw that one coming. Shame Kibula's career hasn't kicked on, doesn't seem like five minutes since people wanted him fast tracked into the starting lineup as Lockers' heir apparent. I think the Championship beckons for him now.

Bibby, Powell and Isa are not on this list

https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk ... s-20793251

That suggests that their future is resolved one way or another. I suspect we have re-signed Bibby and Powell. Isn’t Isa’s other half off to America?

What surprises me is French. I would have thought the deadline for him to activate (or not) the one year clause would have been earlier than this.

Quote: Trainman "Bibby, Powell and Isa are not on this list


She’s playing in the USA now. I put 2 and 2 together with the move and this new American League and wondered if Isa would go over but that league looks unlikely (as the guys over there talk a good game but rarely deliver) and I noticed Isa on social media share a post his partner had put on where she was saying they’d spent one of their birthdays apart but would have plenty in the future and added ‘even if it’s when we retire’. It sounded like there were no immediate plans for him to go over and I expect we’ll sign him up.

Those three guys for me are much needed here. I’m sick of reading the stick Powell is getting on the other board. He’s not hit the heights of last season but the whole side is struggling. He’s gone from people saying he should be the next captain to him being billed as a player who has never been good enough for Wigan. The lad leaves every single bit of energy out on the field for us and deserves far more respect.

Agree 100% on Powell.

Tackles everything, literally bleeds for the shirt but because he doesn't run up his own people slag him off.

I like Powell but we are not playing to his strengths. The team is full of decent players that would get a gig in many other teams but just not in the same team at the same time.
