My mate is good friend with Thompson’s brother and he’s said it’s not true when asked and LT doesn’t know where the rumours come from

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Sun Nov 15, 2020 4:19 pm  

So Hull KR have got Hall. I still think we need a winger or outside back. We'd be looking at promoting McDonnell and Halsall at the moment - primarily centres I think.

Just having an injury prone Manfredi and Jake Bibby as wing options leaves us vulnerable. Neither French or Field are going out there, nor should they.

I would be trying to re-sign Tom Davies.

That would be great - unlikely though as I remember Davies criticising Wigan's style of play under Adrian Lam (or at least that he wasnt suited to it in his view).

I think when Davies left K.R. Said something about him coming back in the future

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Sun Nov 15, 2020 4:52 pm  

The simple fact we need another winger is justification for not releasing Manfredi. I like him, is he what he was? No but he still does a good job on the wing.

Why can't we try and some other Winger, what is so earth shatteringly amazing about Davies?, It really is time we stopped with this re-signing ex players culture, I want to see new players, Not players deemed not good enough a few seasons back

He looked good enough the other night.

Tom left Wigan because there were no regular vacancies on the wing. Now that Budgie is leaving and Marshy has joined Manfredi in the 'uncertain due to injury' category, we would be remiss not to consider trying to get him back.

But why do we have to, Sick to death of re-signing former players, It hardly ever happened in the past, We always had exciting new players coming in, How many times has re-signing players been a success in the last decade?

S Tomkins - Shadow of his formers self, Injured, Couldn't wait to leave once he got fit
J Tomkins - Complete waste of space, The Anus of Wigan incident did us a favour
Mossop - Complete rubbish
Burgess - Bone idle, Couldn't be arsed, Wanted to get back to Oz as soon as possible and let everybody know about it

Have I missed anybody?

I’d be looking at Inu or Mead both off contract and can cover centre or wing and fullback in Meads case.
