Field is done (great job by the club). Zak will leave. Out of the rest I'm sure everyone would want Farrell and Havard to stay - you would imagine Farrell wouldn't go anywhere else but Havard is more uncertain. Maybe we have a chance of keeping Bevan but I think we have less chance of that if we keep him on the wing (one of the reasons I keep banging on about a French-Field-Cust combo). I'm not convinced we should retain Bibby but I think the club will. You would imagine it would be Leuluai's last year particularly considering the injuries he's picking up and the decision on Sam Powell will be interesting. There will be a domino effect of course - one player leaving may lead to another staying, another player leaving may open a quota spot for a replacement for someone else etc.

Regarding Havard, I think we have an option until the end of 2023.

Martin Taupau, no club down under is interested and Manly don't want him, certain experts on here reckon he is unobtainable for Wigan, Yet it's the type of signing Leeds, Saints & Wire will probably pull off, bit like big Konnie, signs for Leeds then for Saints but that's ok he's not Wigan standard

We should definitely follow in the steps of Wire and Leeds.

At least they are ambitious with their signings unlike bargain basement Lenagan

Part of me wonders what Peet could have done with Greenwood.

He would’ve probably give him a concussion from just shaking his hand.

Wish I had been a supporter of that ambitious club Warrington Wolves over the last four decades.

Corey Norman to Toulouse, could be a huge signing towards keeping them up

If he’s focused and behaves himself he’ll really help. I think they’ll probably need another one or two but they’re not too far behind.

He was fantastic a few years ago but looked like he had lost his passion for the game for the last 2 or 3 seasons.
A move to France could well be fantastic for both parties or an expensive error if he comes with the same attitude he had more recently.
