Ii fully believe that who ever plays for wigan deserves a chance but if any of that is true we are well and truly screwed next season.irl_warr wrote: ↑Sat Oct 02, 2021 10:35 am I was told yesterday evening that Wane is green lit to take full charge for one season at Wigan with longer term replacement coming for 2023. Club seem to think bringing Shaun back as head coach will please the fans more than a Matty Peet appointment? Looking to bring in Sarg & spoken/speaking to Luke Gale. TL to go round again only if a Gale deal can't be done. Field and French both expressed desire to go home/stay in Aus and have permission from club to stay in Australia if they can find clubs/employment but are welcome back at Wigan if not. Hardacre has stressed the travelling is too much and is shopping around every Yorkshire SL club but no interest at all, don't be surprised at all if you see him at York for a year! General consensus from the club is that the squad as it is will go ok for next year and Wane will bring out better performances from individuals.
Until Field/French make decisions, we can't sign anyone else, which makes sense as to why we have missed out on certain OOC players in the last few months.
Sarge/Hanley FB, Marshall/Miski WING, Thornley/Hankinson CENTRES, Gale/Smith HALVES, Powell/O'Neill HOOKERS. Not sure what to make of it but I am fully led to believe that is the best we can achieve.
We need French at FB it's a simple as that, not because he's the best FB in SL but he adds something wigan is missing.
Hardaker may be a brilliant defensive FB but look at the type of FB wigan have when the do well recently.
Tomkins/bowen/escare/Tomkins/French.
They have all been attacking FBs and it has allowed us to do well with a static pack that has defended rather than make metres.
