Manu is a decent attacking player not sure about his defence; but he will not get any better and for teams to be allegedly offering him "best at club" money he is a no no.

"I was a big fan of Darren Lockyer, he was a fantastic player, but there's a player I like you probably won't have heard of him. He's a guy called Eddie Pettibone who plays at South Sydney under Michael Maguire. he's a back rower who's very tough and runs strong and he's available at the minute. He's the sort of player I would like to have at Wigan but bear in mind I'm very happy with the squad I've got and wouldn't want to change anybody."

Next signing?

It's good to hear that we are scouting the world to improve our squad.

Very good player, impressed with him this year, runs it in very hard. Would like him at Hull to replace Moa

Only if he can play centre.......

Possible replacement for Tuson/Fielden?

The more worrying thing is that our Coach may not have heard of him!! I am sure it is more a turn of phrase though.

He is an excellent player, good age and likes the rough stuff, my only concern is his position, but it seems he would be as a replacement for Fielden, if there are no other opportunities in the centres of halves then he would be a good addition to the squad, and make a real impact on opposition teams.

Big rough and concussive, right in the Wane and current Wigan philosophy.

Can't say I've noticed him myself.

When I have seen him which is not very often he has looked ok, not worth a big deal though which it sounds like he is after.

He went to Brisbane Broncos for a season to learn the game in their Toyota Cup league.
Big blow for Widnes him leaving.
