Well Dave you are going to be disappointed because Willie has signed a long-term deal.morley pie eater wrote: ↑Sat Nov 13, 2021 9:03 pmBut you're not in DaveO-world, Foz.fozzieskem wrote: ↑Fri Nov 12, 2021 10:13 pmSquad player?DaveO wrote: ↑Fri Nov 12, 2021 8:46 pm
He’s a squad player who every now and again has a very good game but I think last season showed his age is catching up with him. I don’t think he’d be missed because I don’t think he’s as good as he was.
It doesn’t make much sense to for it to be anyone but him or Tommy making way.
That said I am seeing some very cryptic comments appearing on facebook stating neither Field nor French are leaving and given we won’t be binning off new signings Ellis, Mago, Miski or Cust then it’s one of those two unless Wigan have pulled a fast one with Tommy. So I think Tommy and Isa are obvious candidates.
Apart from last season he’s barely missed a game in years..to me that’s not a squad player
Well I'm guessing that means McDonnell and/or Pearce-Paul are likely to be moving on then. Why hang around?Charriots Offiah wrote: ↑Sun Nov 14, 2021 12:54 amWell Dave you are going to be disappointed because Willie has signed a long-term deal.morley pie eater wrote: ↑Sat Nov 13, 2021 9:03 pmBut you're not in DaveO-world, Foz.fozzieskem wrote: ↑Fri Nov 12, 2021 10:13 pm

I watch a lot of NRL and manly were in red hot form for this second half of the last season so to get in that starting line up they would of had to have an injury because why change an in form team with so much momentum.Charriots Offiah wrote: ↑Sun Nov 14, 2021 12:54 amWell Dave you are going to be disappointed because Willie has signed a long-term deal.morley pie eater wrote: ↑Sat Nov 13, 2021 9:03 pmBut you're not in DaveO-world, Foz.fozzieskem wrote: ↑Fri Nov 12, 2021 10:13 pm

I just read he's signed for two more years.Charriots Offiah wrote:Well Dave you are going to be disappointed because Willie has signed a long-term deal.morley pie eater wrote: ↑Sat Nov 13, 2021 9:03 pmBut you're not in DaveO-world, Foz.fozzieskem wrote: ↑Fri Nov 12, 2021 10:13 pm Squad player?

Nobody seems able to get to the bottom of who qualifies as non-federation players, I suppose we will have to see what happens.DaveO wrote: ↑Sun Nov 14, 2021 2:10 pmI just read he's signed for two more years.Charriots Offiah wrote:Well Dave you are going to be disappointed because Willie has signed a long-term deal.
This is stupid as he will be 35 when he starts the second of those two years
This is another player like Clubb and Tommy where the club isn't being ruthless enough in letting older players go and in Isa's case he's non fed trained so takes up a quota spot. So now either Tommy retires or one of French or Field is out (assuming Tommy counts as non fed trained)

The other aspect on non-federation trained players is that the RFL can grant an exemption and these are based on individual circumstances with no set model in place to try and understand who would qualify for an exemption.Charriots Offiah wrote:Nobody seems able to get to the bottom of who qualifies as non-federation players, I suppose we will have to see what happens.DaveO wrote: ↑Sun Nov 14, 2021 2:10 pmI just read he's signed for two more years.Charriots Offiah wrote: Well Dave you are going to be disappointed because Willie has signed a long-term deal.
