Bibby, Powell and Isa are not on this list https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk ... s-20793251 That suggests that their future is resolved one way or another. I suspect we have re-signed Bibby and Powell. Isn’t Isa’s other half off to America? What surprises me is French. I would have thought the deadline for him to activate (or not) the one year clause would have been earlier than this.

I would have thought the deadline for him to activate (or not) the one year clause would have been earlier than this. She’s playing in the USA now. I put 2 and 2 together with the move and this new American League and wondered if Isa would go over but that league looks unlikely (as the guys over there talk a good game but rarely deliver) and I noticed Isa on social media share a post his partner had put on where she was saying they’d spent one of their birthdays apart but would have plenty in the future and added ‘even if it’s when we retire’. It sounded like there were no immediate plans for him to go over and I expect we’ll sign him up. Those three guys for me are much needed here. I’m sick of reading the stick Powell is getting on the other board. He’s not hit the heights of last season but the whole side is struggling. He’s gone from people saying he should be the next captain to him being billed as a player who has never been good enough for Wigan. The lad leaves every single bit of energy out on the field for us and deserves far more respect.

Agree 100% on Powell.

Tackles everything, literally bleeds for the shirt but because he doesn't run up his own booty people slag him off.

Sam Powell is one of our best players.

I like Powell but we are not playing to his strengths. The team is full of decent players that would get a gig in many other teams but just not in the same team at the same time.
