Let's reverse the question and ask you what you think the player should have done under the current circumstances?
For sure if it was me, I would never have invoked the extension and absolutely been prepared to stay in my home country and look after my family during a very troubled time - probably looking for alternative employment whilst doing so
He should have come over roughly the same time as Cust/Mago and Ellis. The fact he didn't suggests that we wont see him in cherry and white again. He needs to take responsibility for his decisions so he either carries on taking Wigan's money and flies over now or he asks for a release - no shame in that whatsoever
bingo
Guaranteed employment with compassionate leave.
Ok. So you think Wigan "owe" Bevan financially then? Why?
With unlimited compassionate leave? No one gets that (apart from those who think the current situation is more than acceptable).
Perhaps Wigan should have returned all the fan's season ticket money for all the crap the club served up last season??
Without sounding somehow uncaring why should he have agreed to the extension when he needed to be with his family? A family that resides 12,000 miles from his employment!
It is not the club's responsibility to make sure he can pay his bills and eat well and pay off his mortgage etc. That is Bevan's!
Like everyone else, he has to earn that money and by being 12,000 miles away, clearly not taking part in any pre-season training (for a second year) and also clearly going to have to follow isolation rules etc; if he ever decides he needs to start being the person that agreed to the contract he will be a long way short of being ready either mentally or physically.

As a person do you blame him?
So you are saying you think is is right for him to take Wigan's money and stay over in Australia for as long as he can - simply because fans like you think it is acceptable and professional behavior?
For fans assuming he is not getting paid. That would make him A "free agent". The guy is taking the club's money and an overseas spot - fact!
Well until something changes in the current stalemate that is

As a fan it might be bad but as a person if your in a similar situation? To French it's no different to you going off ill and getting paid because its in your contract.
Whatever the terms and conditions of my employment are - they are in no way as ridiculously "generous" as those Bevan is enjoying at the moment. Unlimited time off, full pay, not fulfilling the terms of my contract (re: training). Those are "benefits" no one apart from government ministers or soccer coaches receive whilst on "gardening leave". These are only usual when the person concerned is no longer wanted but diligence requires the individual to stay away.
At least you accept that the current situation is
