Wigan need to release a non-federation player to get a new signing in!

French out, Leutele in by the sounds of it…

Also the chat last night was that we’re interested in Olly Ashall Bott?

Yeh, been thinking that also, as a replacement for French he has that utility value and unpredictably but hes on the small side.

On French, we have a long offseason coming and I suspect Bevan will be home for this time and be able to talk to NRL clubs more easily. Would we put a time limit on his decision and would we stick to it if he changed his mind?

This is a good point. It would be very easy for his agent knowing he has a contract in the bag to wait for the close season to see what he can come up with. Surely we must now put a time scale on the offer or at least explain we need to look to find someone else so he needs to make his mind up before we find someone.

We should not be worrying about the quota when we have players like Miski & Isa taking up spots.

Especially with Leuluai set to retire & likely replaced by the highly rated Astley. That's another opened up.
