If Lams still in charge when Budgie goes he may have been impressed with Hankinson on the wing...after Anfield who knows πŸ™ƒπŸ™„πŸ€”

Or, indeed, Marshall and Davies? All we can do with Manfredi is wait and see.

Anyway, again, wingers are not really our problem.
I'd be happy if we ended up with Marshall and Davies, They score some great tries and plenty of them
I wouldn't Budgie and Fredi are a far more potent pair.

Budgie's try scoring record is phenomenal.

If he was impressed with that he needs to go sooner.

Budgie is obviously leaving after 2020 and Fredi is a crock, Keeping him around because he might recover or he might come back to bite us in the ass if he is let go is shit business, Davies and Marshall perform perfectly well as replacements

I wouldn't agree. Tom Davies form prior to his injury was poor. Struggled to keep his place and the yardage he made disappeared with it
I'm a better fan than you
Because I don't "Boo"!!!

Yes I bloody know transfer fees do not count on the salary cap for those illiterates that need it explaining to them because they assume everyone is as thick as they are :roll:

Form is temporary, Wasn't he a top try scorer a few seasons ago?, Or have I got him mixed up with another

Agreed that Tom's form was poor. I wondered if it was due to the change of coach? Wane liked wingers to be involved early in the sets and from our own line. This suited Davies who made lots of metres, but these dried up under Lam's more entertaining approach (!)

The quicker IL gets a spine and stops worrying about players wanting to go to the NRL the better
If the only two options were release for free at end of year or sign up for a 1 year extension then we have done the right thing.

Manfredi cannot be depended upon because of his injuries. Davies has had a season ender and Marshall seems the least favoured out of our 4.
