Read on Wigan Today that the Club is taking up the option for 2018.
Personally, I would be happy to see him leave and get somebody else. Big disappointment for me - or am I being too harsh?

Honest as the day is long but the stupid penalties he gives away at crucial times absolutely kill us!

He's a funny one some people think is massively underrated others the opposite
personally im with you - think he offers very little and gives a lot of penalties.
I suppose it depends on his wage, he's a decent squad player but gives IMO nothing more than Wells for example, so if he is on good money no, if he is being paid as a squad player he is handy to have around as a battle hardened player

He's keeping the seat warm why Wells gains more experience.

I know he's not a centre, but even at second row or loose, I can't ever see him ever beating anyone on a one to one, he just doesn't possess a penetrative threat going forward, although in fairness, he is a workhorse but as others have mentioned, his discipline is almost always in question and has put us on the back foot in matches regularly.
If money has to be spent, then I'd prefer it to be spent elsewhere !

terrible move for the club, he offers nothing in attack There are plenty of players out there who can tackle. Where is our ambition to entertain with a player with flair. Totally disappointed

Steady eddy who never gets injured. 1 more year is fine whilst the youngsters come along a bit but please no more than a year.

My theory is that Willie is a good solid player when most of the leaders are in the team. When it's packed with younger, inexperienced players, he "tries too hard". He seems to think he has to become like Lockers, and he overplays.
I'd keep him, but reign him in a bit in current circumstances. Cut the fancy stuff + the penalties.
